Solar Plant in Manipal University,
Jaipur: Building sustainable organisation

• Engineering, procurement and constructing a large-scale PV system was a complex undertaking
• The selection of reliable and quality equipment for the project was paramount to meeting Manipal’s expectations of a high-performance solar plant

For Manipal Education Group, the goal was to be a sustainable organization and so, the key metrics to evaluate the performance of a solar developer, as well as the installed PV system, was based on three key parameters:

• Performance ratio (PR)
  The industry standard for a very high-performing system is up to 75%. The Manipal University, Jaipur plant is achieving PR as high as 79%. The closer the PR value is to 100% (which cannot be achieved due to unavoidable losses), the more efficiently the PV plant is operating. Unlike efficiency, PR uses real-world data to judge the performance of a module and power plant.
• Energy yield
  The yield on energy has a direct impact on the performance of a project and can be used to calculate the “Economic Yield” of the system. Manipal University, Jaipur solar plant has been giving 1564 kWh/kWp per year energy yield performance, which was more than simulated calculation done using software called PVSyt during designing. It is based on real-world conditions, with site-specific solar radiance and weather conditions taken into account, which makes it a better predictor of actual performance than efficiency measured in laboratory conditions.
• QA-QC (Quality Assurance Quality Checks)
  We ensured all components as per our BOQ (Bill of Quantities) for solar plants are verified and certified independently by third-party, as per our rigorous QA-QC (Quality Assurance and Quality Check) Policy to ensure lifetime system performance.

• Since installation, Manipal University, Jaipur system on average has outperformed the predicted design by 9%
• Annually solar plant is abating 113 tons of CO₂
