The 10 PV Port system, developed by a German development agency called Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), has recently been installed at the Swaminarayan Akshardham temple complex in Gandhinagar. It is taken care of by the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's initiative. The PV Port systems are standard plug-and-play solar systems, consisting of at least 2kWp, that come with or without battery storage.
The PV Port systems have been designed for 100% self-consumption. This means that no current is fed into the grid. The systems are designed to utilize the space under the solar panels to deliver more power and higher efficiency. One of these schemes can help an Indian household save up to an average of Rs 24,000 on electricity bills every year.
"Such collaborations and the resulting synergies are expected to benefit consumers to a large extent. We are very optimistic that the partnerships will provide us with insights to address new challenges and capitalize on opportunities at the city level, helping us to replicate the results in other cities in India,” said Jorg Gabler, Chief Advisor of International Renewable Energies on the Indian Electricity System project (I-RE) at GIZ India.
