How to Check Eligibility for a Hybrid Solar Power Plant

To determine your eligibility for installing a hybrid solar power plant in Kerala, consider the following key factors:

Existing KSEB Connection: You must have an active Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) connection, as on-grid systems are integrated directly with the state’s power grid.
Available Rooftop Space: Ensure you have sufficient shadow-free rooftop area. Typically, 1 kW of solar panels requires about 100 square feet. For example, a 3 kW system would need approximately 300 square feet.
Connection Phase and Capacity Limits:
- Single-Phase Connections: Eligible for installations ranging from 1 kW to 5 kW.
- Three-Phase Connections: Can accommodate systems up to 100 kW.
- 11 kV Connections: Suitable for installations up to 1 MW.
KSEB Approvals:
- Feasibility Certificate: Submit an application to your local KSEB electrical section with a fee of ₹1,000. KSEB will assess the capacity of the local transformer and issue a feasibility certificate within 15 days if the infrastructure can support your proposed system.
- Registration: After obtaining the feasibility certificate, register your project with KSEB by paying ₹1,000 per kW. The registration is valid for six months, within which the installation should be completed.
Net Metering: KSEB provides net metering to monitor both the electricity consumed and the excess power exported back to the grid. This system allows you to offset your electricity bills and potentially earn for surplus energy supplied.
Government Subsidy:
The Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG) aims to install rooftop solar for 1 crore households, providing up to 300 units of free electricity per month. With a ₹75,021 crore budget, the scheme offers direct bank subsidies and concessional loans. A maximum subsidy of ₹78,000 is available for solar systems from 3 kW – 10kW, making it an affordable and eco-friendly solution.

Hybrid Solar: Powering Today, Securing Tomorrow

Hybrid solar is essential today due to frequent power outages, rising electricity costs, and the need for energy independence. It combines on-grid efficiency with battery backup, ensuring uninterrupted power supply even during blackouts. With solar energy storage, users can reduce reliance on the grid, cut electricity bills, and maximize renewable energy use. Additionally, government subsidies make hybrid systems more affordable, making them a smart and sustainable choice for both homes and businesses.

How a Hybrid Solar Power Plant Works

Solar Panels Generate Power – Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight into electricity (DC).
Inverter Converts Power – A hybrid inverter converts DC into AC for immediate use.
Energy is Stored & Used – Excess energy is stored in batteries for backup during outages.
Grid Connectivity – When solar and battery power are insufficient, the system draws electricity from the grid.
Seamless Power Supply – Automatically switches between solar, battery, and grid to ensure uninterrupted energy.
