 CLARIFICATION FROM AGNI POWER ON EIL COMMENTS

AS PER EIL COMMENTS ON SOLAR PV SYSTEM SIZING CALCULATION, DRG. NOS. HPCL-47000189-EL-025, REV 1,
OUR REPLIES ARE AS BELOW:

COMMENT S.NO. 1- CONSIDERING THE SHADOW FREE AREA AND MAN MOVEMENT FOR O&M, THE
MAXIMUM 50.16KWP CAPACITY OF SOLAR POWER PLANT SHALL BE POSSIBLE TO INSTALL.

COMMENT S.NO. 2- AS PER REQUIREMENT, THE PCU/INVERTER SHALL BE INSTALLED INDOOR.

COMMENT S.NO. 3- PVSYST REPORT ATTACHED FOR REFERENCE WHICH IS BASED ON METEONORM DATA,
HOWEVER THE ACTUAL GENERATION SHALL BE APPROX 10 TO 12% LESS THAN THE PVSYST REPORT.

COMMENT S.NO. 4- SOLAR SIZING CALCULATION SHOWN AS BELOW.

SOLAR SIZING CALCULATIONS FOR ROOFTOP (BASED ON AVAILABLE AREA)

1.) TOTAL ROOFTOP AREA- 787.75 Sq Meter

2.) PROPOSED AREA FOR INSTALLING SOLAR POWER PLANT- 517 Sq Meter

3.) SOLAR MODULE SIZE- 1995 X 982 X 42 mm

4.) AREA OF EACH MODULE- 1.959 Sq Meter
5.) NO OF MODULES USED – 152Nos
6.) GAP BETWEEN EACH MODULE- 50mm
7.) AREA COVERED BY SOLAR MODULES- 152 X 1.959Sq Meter= 297.76Sq Meter
8.) GAP BETWEEN TWO ROW- 1800 mm

 A) AS PER TECHNICAL DOCUMENT, WITHIN 12M2 AREA ATLEAST 1kWp SOLAR POWER PLANT SHOULD BE
INSTALLED. FOR 517M2AREA, ATLEAST (517/12)= 43.08kWp SOLAR POWER PLANT MUST BE INSTALLED. WE
HAVE CONSIDERED 133 NO MODULES ON THE ROOFTOP i.e. 133 X 330Wp= 43.8kWp.

AS PER THE PRESENT LAYOUT, WE HAVE SLIGHTLY MODIFIED THE PREVIOUS MODULE LAYOUT TO MINIMISE THE
WIND LOAD ON THE PROPOSED MODULE OVER THE STAIR CASE ROOF.

PREVIOUSLY WE HAD CONSIDERED DOULE TIRE MMS ON THE STAIR CASE ROOF. BUT, PRESENTLY WE ARE
PROPOSING SINGLE TIRE MMS.

ALSO WE REDUCE INTERROW GAP, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO SHIFT THE MMS LAYOUT TOWARDS SOUTH TO ELIMINATE
STAIRCASE SHADOW.

 B) SOLAR SIZING CALCULATION FOR 2ND FLOOR TERRACE
1. SHADOW FREE AREA AVAILABLE- 77 SQ METER
2. SOLAR MODULE SIZE- 1995 X 982 X 42 mm
3. AREA OF EACH MODULE- 1.959 Sq Meter
4. NO OF MODULE USED- 19NOS
5. GAP BETWEEN EACH MODULE- 50mm
6. AREA COVERED BY SOLAR MODULE- 37.22 Sq M

FOR 77M2 AREA, ATLEAST (77/12)=6.41kWp SOLAR POWER PLANT MUST BE INSTALLED. TO REDUCE DC LOSSES WE
HAVE CONSIDERED ONLY ONE STRING CONSISTS OF 19 NO MODULES ON THE TERRACE (ONE STRING CONSIST OF
19NOS OF MODULES IN SERIES) i.e. 19 X 330Wp= 6.27kWp.

TOTAL PROPOSED CAPACITY OF ROOFTOP SOLAR POWER PLANT AS PER SHADOW FREE SPACE AVAILABLE SHALL BE
(A+B)=50kWp(AC)
