TRANSFORMATIVE POTENTIAL OF SOLAR PARKS

Solar parks are crucial to achieving a sustainable energy future. These parks are on the verge of transforming energy landscapes and bringing about an era of abundant renewable energy. By utilizing innovation, policy support, and responsible practices, solar parks hold the key to a cleaner, brighter, and more sustainable tomorrow.

Novergy Solar offers a range of renewable energy solutions, such as solar parks, ground-mounted solar, behind-the-meter solar, rooftop solar systems, solar parking systems, and floating solar. Our experienced team can help with site evaluation, feasibility studies, installation, and ongoing maintenance.

A solar park is a concentrated area for solar power generation projects that provides developers with well-characterized infrastructure, amenities, and reduced project risks.

At Novergy, we prioritize your needs and preferences.

WHY SOLAR OFF-SITE?

Solar off-site is the right option in many cases. Some of them are given below: –

  1. Insufficient space within premises = When there is not sufficient space inside the factory/premises of clients. Eg. Clients who have a very large power consumption but limited space will find solar off-site to be the ideal option
  2. Special chemical zones = In some areas with chemical fumes and dusty conditions. Here the solar installation will yield very poor results. Hence installing the same capacity in other locations will give the benefit of better solar harvest as high as up to 50% and more reliable long-term performance.
  3. Policy and regulatory limitations = In some states, there is a limitation on the solar capacity that can be installed within premises. Eg. Gujarat allows solar installation of up to 1MWac only. Hence, off-site is a very good option to install large capacity and achieve electricity savings and green energy.
  4. Other reasons = In some cases, the management may be planning to shift some machines from one location to another. Here the off-site option allows the future transfer very easily.

VARIOUS BUSINESS &FINANCIAL MODELS

Captive – In this case the customer makes the full investment as a capex and the plant is owned by the client.
