Wapda ko Photo voltaic Bijli Bechain



Refrain from abusing Water and Power Development Authority and rather sell electricity back to the National Grid via National Transmission & Despatch Company (NTDC) regulated by National Electric Power Regualtory Authority (NEPRA) approved by Ministery of Water and Power Resources. Unfortunately, the buying rate (Nominaly, @Rs. 7 per unit) for net export is still not at par with the residential (weight-averaged at Rs. 12.33 or commercial unit (averaged at Rs. 15/kWh). However, from investment point of view, WAPDA will pay a check of balance in favor of the individual exporter (that may be a solar farm, a factory solar roof top, or abandoned land with provision of solar panels) after every three months term.

National Electric Power Regulatory Authority recently presented their “net metering” program to the public of Islamabad, Rawalpindi & Lahore. K-Electric a semi-autonomous distribution company is also in stage of negotiation with NEPRA over export rates for Karachi city. This plan credits customers for the electricity they produce in excess of the electricity they are consuming after each three months. Compare this to paying a monthly utility bill and getting no return on investment.

Net metering is a billing arrangement by which a net meter ( Bi-directional meter) is installed at any Grid Tied Renewable Energy system ( Solar and wind power system) which import electricity when production from solar system is less than demand and it exports electricity when electricity production through solar system is more than the demand and at the end of month the Utility company sends the monthly bill of the net meter and this gives a saving to consumer and benefit to Utility of having solar electricity for other consumers to use when Renewable system exports electricity.

This is a list of electric supply companies (DISCOs) in Pakistan:
Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO).
Gujranwala Electric Power Company (GESCO).
Hub Power Company.
Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (HESCO).
Sukkur Electric Power Company.
Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO).
K-Electric- old company name was Karachi Electric Supply Company.

PAKISTANI NET-METERING: APPLICATION & PROCESS
First of all, a request is filed by Zorays Solar on behalf of the applicant to DISCO for information about net metering. The Disco is liable to provide information to the applicant and furbish authority’s approved documents free of charge.

IESCO has designated the authority that sanctioned the current electric connection to act as focal person in the field.
Director planning at HO is the focal person at IESCO HO level.

Following to which an application is submitted by Distribution Grid (National Transmission Distribution Centre) to DISCO along with necessary documents. List of Documents include:

Completed application form as per Annex-II
Attested copy of CNIC
Copy of latest electricity paid bill
Technical specifications of inverter
Technical specifications PV
Single line diagram
NOC by Electric Inspector
The DISCO then acknowledges its receipt and informs Zorays Solar Net Metering Team (the applicant) if application is complete in all respects. If any information is missing, the DISCO identifies and informs Zorays Solar Net Metering Team (applicant) as we work toward its rectification. (In case of missing Documents or information, or additional requirements, Zorays Solar Net Metering Team shall provide the same to DISCO.)

The DISCO also performs initial review to determine if applicant qualifies for DG or may qualify subject to additional requirements. The parameters like transformer loading limit, allowed percentage of RE components mix and feeders identified for RE or similar other policy level factors may also be a part of review parameters. In case DG is technically not feasible, DISCO shall inform Applicant with reasons on completion of review.

If satisfied that applicant qualifies as DG, DISCO advises applicant to physically install the DG up to interconnection point by DISCO approved PV installer, if not already installed, but not to connect with DISCO. DISCO may maintain a list of approved qualified installers (including Zorays Solar) and applicant may be provided with that list.

In the next phase, the applicant gets his installation checked by a licensed electrical supervisor. The Electric Inspector grants NOC (No Objection Certificate). Exact scope of inspection by Electrical Inspector is little hazy and Zorays Solar Net Metering Team takes care of that on the behalf of its esteemed customers.

Applicant applies to Electric Inspector for his inspection. Application shall enclose report by licensed survivor (Licensed by Electric Inspector) as a part of request. Zorays Solar Bijli Net Metering Team then coordinates with get the installation checked and certified OK by the electrical inspector. The electric Inspector , having satisfied himself about safety and other parameters as per his mandate, may issue clearance certificate /letter or ask for rectification of identified defects. Having satisfied the electric inspection , Zorays Solar Bijli Net Metering Team obtains clearance certificate by submitting an NOC by Electric Inspector.

After completion of installation, applicant invites DISCO for technical inspection. With the request applicant submits the tech report prepared by Approved installer and a certificate issued by him that the DG facility design and installation meets all requirements of para 9 of the regulation. At this stage, a pre-constituted team of DISCO personnel visits site for tech inspection in coordination with applicant. Mandatory design and operating requirements of DG as per Para 9 of the regulations must be verified and statement to this effect included in report by DISCO technical team.

If DISCO becomes satisfied that applicant qualifies as DG, DISCO and applicant shall sign interconnect agreement. DISCO shall invite Applicant for Interconnect, and send a copy of interconnect agreement to Registrar, NEPRA. Send connection charges as a demand note up to interconnection point including metering installation (customer prepays to Zorays Solar, if applicable, in case of change of meter).

If bi-directional meter is not available with DISCO, applicant may procure their own meter via Zorays Solar and install after approval by DISCO. (Applicable charges to be notified at time of service level agreement between Zorays Solar and its client.)

Next, the installation and commissioning is done by the DISCO side of the proposed facility interconnection. Actual net metering shall commence only after grant of license by NEPRA. Net Metering Licensing in Pakistan is what Zorays Solar feels best at. The DISCO forwards application to NEPRA for grant of license as per Schedule III along with regulatory documents para (2).

Interconnect Agreement along with its enclosure
Application as per Schedule IV

Solar is certainly a good pairing with roadways at least we saw that in Jinan China. However, solar does not necessarily have to be under the road surface. Solar road can generate enough power for hundreds of homes. We tend to think ideas like this sound great, but often it’s the practical details that make it very difficult (e.g. dirt, soiling, safety). There is plenty of space where solar panels can be deployed.

Would it ever be possible to create roads, driveways, etc. out of solar film/materials?
Not only would the solar powered roadways produce electricity, but would cost us less every year from damage due to snow, ice, and other machines required on the road. And it is an amazing idea…why not make use of the land that the roads cover. To try to reinvent the solar panel for road deployment where heavy traffic moves on it – and it is subjected to high-loads, wear and tear, just doesn’t add up economically (from a heuristic point of view). It would certainly make a lot of sense, if we were running out of space, as where to deploy solar panels. There is a vast amount of space available just on our roof-tops alone that can be utilized and then the space around us, before we can give a serious thought to roads paved with solar panels. Until, you want to charge your Prius at an electric filling station.

However considering motorways are generally placed in areas with a low premium on space it would make a lot of sense to place solar installations along motorways/interstates. These can act as sound/wind barriers also, thus serving a dual purpose.



A few issues I would see with this:
– Transparent materials tend to have a low coefficient of friction, not good for driving on!
– practical considerations like dirt/snow/shading from cars

How much does a solar driveway cost?
According to a French estimate, the current cost is around US$5 million for a km but expected to decline as the technology matures. A solar drive way would be a waste of money until then. You would not be able to park your car on it as that would block out the Sun. Solar panels have to be tilted to face the Sun so you would have to tilt the driveway in the direction facing the Sun so your car would slide off. The driveway is usually close to the house so the shadow of your house would block the Sun. Put the solar panels on the roof where there is no shadow or cars parking on it and it can be tilted towards the Sun. Then the cost is also less than building a solar driveway. So the cost would vary depending on which solar panels you use but it would probably be 5 times the cost of putting the solar panels on the roof.

Can outdoor walking surfaces (patios, basketball courts, and driveways) be lined with solar panels?
Yes, and it has been done, but really as a public awareness stunt and not for serious electrical production. There was a company a few years ago that made sidewalks and driveways with solar panels and was trying to get funding to do a section of highway. I would not do it in areas of high impact such as tennis courts and basketball courts but by incorporating it with smart lighting technologies it has the ability to both provide directions, and warnings to drivers, and collect energy. It is just real early at this stage to look at it as an industry focus but as far as a possible path, I like it. Imagine, a path that collects energy for your home, powers it’s own cleaning bots through wireless charging, and can light up to give directions to someone such as the way to a particular office.

Generally speaking, it would be a bad idea. Walking surfaces need to be able to withstand impacts, heavy loads, and abrasive wear. Solar panels would not survive those conditions. There are much more efficient placement of solar panels than using high traffic surfaces, which would require significant increase cost due to in reinforcement of matterial, would not provide a good way to dissipate heat (which is an efficiency killer on Solar PV), have fair amounts of random shadowing, and would result in a lot more surface dirty reducing output than normal placement of Solar PV panels. Such that solar PV on building roofs is generally cheaper and easier and doesn’t come with potentially huge public liability issues, not many people are interested in actually doing it.
