Modi SOLAR Is $5000b-$10,000bDisadvantage to India
SolarPV has absolutely Unique Advantage that Solar Power can produce power wherever Sun Shines, On Earth or In Space and can generate from Few Watts to charge Mobile Phone to Mega Watt scale on Factories Rooftops and Home Rooftops and at all places where it is totally Unviable to Provide Grid Connection or beyond the buying capacity of consumers.
But most shocking instead of Locating SolarPV where it is Urgently Required and where 600m People Reside without electricity locating most of 100,000 MW SolarPV in power surplus regions will lead to $5000b Disadvantage.
50% of Power shall be lost in reaching Un-electrified Regions through GRID Losses. When a State Reports 23% Loss to 50% Transmission & Distribution loss forGujarat and MP it actually means 50% to 80% losses in Rural Feeders.
Just two Operators ADANI and Sunil Mittal together have already BOOKED 30,000 MW of 100,000 MW planned by 2020 investing $30b but this doesn’t include EHT, HT, & LT Transmission & Distribution costs. Since SolarPV operates at20% to 30% Load factor for Fixed and Tracking SolarPV or low Utilization Factor means Transmission Lines Cost shall be much more than $30b and THIS SHALL BE SPENT BY MOSTLY BANKRUPT STATES LIABILITIES TO USE SOLAR POWER.
When ADANI Shall Invest $10B States Too Has To Invest $10B For Low Load Factor SolarPV T&D O/H Tranmission Networks.
“The cost of construction of the solar park is half of Japan. Twice the sunshine, half the cost, that means four times the efficiency.” – Sunil Mittal.
Fact is Sunil Mittal shall Invest $20b On 20,000 MW SolarPV that shall produce 48 BU of Electricity But Less Than 24 BU shall be Consumed in 25 Years and State Governments too Shall Invest $20b on Transmission & Distribution Power Lines and Also Pay For 24 BU Units Lost in T&D.
Thus When Sunil Mittal Invest $20b and Charge 15 Cents for every 48 BU or $720b – States shall invest $20b, Bear Loss of $360b Due to Energy Lost and Also Pay $150b On T&D Cost over 25 Years. At 3 Cents a Unit 24 BU Unit Lost in T&D is $72b Carbon Credit Loss = $942b For 20,000 MW SolarPV.
Thus 100,000 MW ADANI-MITTAL Solar is $5000b Loss, Or $10,000b Loss for 200,000 MW to be Installed by 2025.
Why Can’t INDIA INVEST $200b ON 200,000 MW RURAL SOLAR AND SAVE $10,000b in 25 Years, Sell FREE Power?
