Minimum loan for a project should be of Rs.5 lakhs for Direct User and Rs.10 lakhs for Intermediaries.
The manufacturers must provide a warranty for a minimum period of 2 years for the complete SPV system (including the battery) and a minimum 10 years for PV modules from the date of supply. Annual maintenance Contract (AMC) for the SPV Systems should be for a period of 5 years including the warranty period.
Yes, soft loans are available at an interest rate of 5% (individuals and other organizations) per annum and 7% (commercial borrowers who can claim depreciation benefits) and also Financial intermediaries who borrow funds from JREDA for on - lending at 5% or 7% rate of interest will be charged an interest rate of 2.5% or 4.5% respectively by JREDA. Such intermediaries will not be able to claim depreciation benefit and the on-lending arrangement will not be treated as a lease arrangement, through Jharkhand Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (JREDA). The minimum amount of soft loan will be Rs. 5 Lakhs for Direct User and Rs.10 Lakhs for Intermediaries. The principal with the interest is repayable in 6 years (including one year moratorium) starting at the end of first year of sanction of the loan.

Solar cell is a primary device for Solar Photovoltaic systems since it converts solar radiation into electricity. Solar PV cells are made by fine sheets of silicon wafers, cutted in the required shape. The technology is mainly based on Monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline technology. Number of such SPV cells are coupled in series and (or) parallel connection to design a SPV Module of required Power. These modules can be further coupled to form SPV array, to get desired power output to run the electrical appliances such as solar home systems, street lighting systems, small capacity SPV power plants, solar generators, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems and solar lanterns. The Photovoltaic Array converts the solar energy into electricity, which is used for running any electrical appliances or can stored in a battery. The system components of SPV Water Pumping System are:
The Photovoltaic Array converts the solar energy into electricity, which is used for running the electrical equipments. The electricity produced either stored in the Battery bank or directly used for running the electrical equipment.
A SPV system consists of a Photovoltaic Array mounted on a Stand, Batteries, CCU, and other required equipments depending upon the size and requirement of power and current.
