Wish to have a rooftop solar power plant in or around Telangana? Use this Statespecific guide from Kleancell Technologies to get an overview of solar power
potential for Telangana, and things to watch out for while installing a rooftop solar
power plant in this region.
Highlights
Average annual radiation in Telangana is 5.44 kWh/m2/day with about 300 sunny
days Usable AC power generated by solar plants in Telangana is 4 kWh/kW/day
or more, on average over a year Telangana industrial and commercial energy
consumers pay grid tariff of Rs. 6.5 - 7.4, or more. At Rs. 4.5 - 5/kWh or less,
solar may be cheaper than grid power for some consumers, and cheaper than
diesel power of Rs. 18/kWh for all consumers Overview Telangana is situated
about 17 North of the Equator and has an abundance of sunlight. Combined with
unreliable utility power and rising cost of diesel power, it is no surprise that the
State is seeing solar panels on an increasing number of rooftops. Industrial and
commercial units here can benefit greatly from the advantages of solar power but
should also keep in mind several constraints when designing the solar system.
We will be discussing both below.

Solar Energy Generation in Telangana Average annual radiation in Telangana is
about 5.44 kWh/m2/day with about 300 sunny days in a year. This table provides
the monthly values. Radiation Data for Hyderabad (17.3660 N, 78.4760 E).

This radiation is converted into DC power by the solar panels and is then
converted into AC by the inverter. Some of the energy is lost in this process.
Typically, usable AC generation of 4 kWh per day per kW of solar plant capacity is
the average for Telangana over the course of a year i.e., a 100 kW rooftop solar
plant will deliver about 400 units of electricity per day on average.
ground floor, with appropriate cables chosen to compensate for energy loss.
Wind Factor As Telangana is not a cyclone prone area the mounting structures
do not need to have a high wind speed rating. Under 100 kph rating should be
sufficient, subject to spite specific conditions.
