TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
In grid-connected Solar Photo-Voltaic (SPV) systems, solar energy is fed into the building
loads that are connected to the public electricity grid through a service connection with
surplus energy being fed into the grid and shortfall being drawn from the grid. Production of
surplus energy may happen when solar energy produced exceeds building load energy
demand. This surplus is fed into the grid. During the night, or when during the day energy
demand in the building exceeds solar energy production, energy is drawn from the grid. Grid
connected solar PV systems have no battery storage and will not work during grid failure. For
buildings with grid-connected solar PV systems, the service connection meter needs to be of
the bidirectional type, whereby import kWh and export kWh are separately recorded.
1.2 QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP
Solar PV modules are designed to last 25 years or more. It is therefore essential that all
system components and parts, including the mounting structures, cables, junction boxes,
distribution boxes and other parts also have a life cycle of at least 25 years. Therefore all
works shall be undertaken with the highest levels of quality and workmanship. During
inspection TSREDCO and its representatives will pay special attention to neatness of work
execution and conformity with quality and safety norms. Non compliant works will have to be
redone at the cost of the Installer.
1.3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
The MNRE will provide CFA has been restructured and higher CFA up to 40 % will be given
for RTS systems up to 3 kW capacity. For RTS systems of capacity above 3 kW and up to 10
kW, the CFA of 40% would be applicable only for the first 3 kW capacity and for capacity
above 3 kW the CFA would be limited to 20 %. The residential sectors users may install RTS
plant of even higher capacity as per their requirement and the respective SERC regulation.

authority like DISCOM, state regulator may be followed.
1.16. PROTECTIONS
The system should be provided with all necessary protections like earthing, Lightning, and
grid islanding as follows:
1.16.1. LIGHTNING PROTECTION
The SPV power plants shall be provided with lightning &overvoltage protection. The main
aim in this protection shall be to reduce the over voltage to a tolerable value before it
reaches the PV or other sub system components. The source of over voltage can be
lightning, atmosphere disturbances etc The entire space occupying the SPV array
shall be suitably protected against Lightning by deploying required number of Lightning
Arrestors. Lightning protection should be provided as per IEC 62305standard. The
protection against induced high-voltages shall be provided by the use of metal oxide
varistors (MOVs) and suitable earthing such that induced transients find an alternate route
to earth.
1.16.2. SURGE PROTECTION
Internal surge protection shall consist of three MOV type surge-arrestors connected from
+ve and –ve terminals to earth (via Y arrangement)
1.16.3. EARTHING PROTECTION
i. Each array structure of the PV yard should be grounded/ earthed properly as per IS:3043-
1987. In addition the lighting arrester/masts should also be earthed inside the array field.
Earth Resistance shall be tested in presence of the representative of Department
TSREDCO/User as and when required after earthing by calibrated earth tester. PCU, ACDB
and DCDB should also be earthed properly.
ii. Earth resistance shall not be more than 5 ohms. It shall be ensured that all the earthing
points are bonded together to make them at the same potential.
1.17. GRID ISLANDING:
i. In the event of a power failure on the electric grid, it is required that any independent
power-producing inverters attached to the grid turn off in a short period of time. This
prevents the DC-to-AC inverters from continuing to feed power into small sections of the
grid, known as “islands.” Powered islands present a risk to workers who may expect the
area to be unpowered, and they may also damage grid-tied equipment. The Rooftop PV
system shall be equipped with islanding protection. In addition to disconnection from the

Page 37
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grid (due to islanding protection) disconnection due to under and over voltage conditions
shall also be provided.
