The document discusses a canal top solar power plant project in Gujarat, India. The project involves installing solar panels on 19,000 km of canals to generate electricity. It highlights the need for clean energy sources and decreased dependence on foreign oil. Key details provided include the project location, inauguration date, cost, capacity, advantages like reduced land and water use, and challenges around module mounting and lack of experience. The summary discusses the potential to scale the project across other canals and generate significant clean energy while reducing water evaporation.

Launched In Gujrata, To Use19,000 Kilometre Long Network Of Narmada Canals Across The State For Setting Up Solar Panels To Generate Elertcity. It Was The First Ever Such Project In India. WHAT IS THE NEED ? Solar energy technologies are clean source of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy. After the oil supply disruptions of the early 1970s, our nation has increased its dependence on foreign oil supplies instead of decreasing it. this increased dependence impacts more than just our national energy policy. MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT It Was Inaugurated By Mr. Narendra Modi On 24th April 2012. It Is Situated On The Narmada Branch Canal Near Chandrasan Village Of Kadi Taluka. The Is Being Built By Sun Edison At A Cost Of Rs 177.1 Million. It Is The World's First 1Mw Canal Top Solar Power Plant. ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT Save Land Use. Save Co2 Emission. Save Canal Water From Evaporation. Generate Clean And Green Power, Eco-friendly Power, Strengthening Energy Security. The Solar Panels Produced 15 Per Cent Extra Power As Compared To Land Installations As The Water Flowing Under The Panels Kept Them Relatively Cool. DISADVANTAGES Increased Construction Cost Of Construction. Water + Electronics = Bad. Maintenance Of Solar Panels Is Quiet High. Maintenance Of Canal, Once Solar Panels Are Installed Is An Issue. CHALLENGES Challenge-1: Module Mounting Structure. Challenge-2: Requirement Of Expert Manufacturer For Rapid Implementation Challenge-3: Lack Of Prior Experience Of Project Implementation. TRANSFERRABLE LESSONS LEARNT Identifying Most Suitable Stretch Of Canal For Economic Power Generation. Optimized Solar Power Plant Design Parameters. Formation Of Policy For Successful Implementation Of Such Projects With Proven Administrative, Financial, Legal & Contractual Structure. VALUABLE INSIGHTS Significance & Sustainability Among All The Renewable Sources, Solar Radiation Is More Predictable And Consistent. Proved The Concept Of Green Energy Generation At The Door Step Of Farmers. Alternate Development For The Most Precious And Finite Resource, Land. Immense Interest From Across The Globe - Japan, Egypt, Us, Africa And United Nations. No Adverse Impact On Canal System - Only Positive Impact. Sustainable Alternative For Densely Populated Countries. IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY Potential To Develop Under PPP (Public-private Partnership) Mode. Provides Reliable Power To Agriculture Industry During Daytime. Better Business Model For Village Electrification. Better Business Model Compared To Individual Solar Irrigation Pump Model. FUTURE PROSPECTIVE There Are Around 31 Major Canals. If We Can Mount All These Canals With Solar Panel We Can Generate Enormous Amount Of Clean Electricity And Also Reduce Evaporation Of Million Litres Of Water.canal.mp4 THANK YOU SOLAR CLEAN & GREEN
