Indranagar, Bangalore – 560 038 (hereinafter called “Conergy”).
I.1. Conergy Energy Systems India Pvt Ltd (formerly know as SunTechnics Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd)
Conergy is an affiliate brand of the stock-listed Conergy AG, a global leader in the field of solar system
integration. Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange - Conergy
is an international leading supplier of turnkey systems. Whether dealing with grid connect photovoltaic,
off-grid or hybrid systems, extensive engineering know-how has been acquired from constructing
thousands of systems worldwide for more than 10 years. This makes it possible for Conergy to optimally
adapt the renewable energy technology to respective local conditions, while offering its various customers
the optimum system solution for their individual needs with the highest level of quality, superior support
and consulting services.
The solar array comprises of solar modules that generate DC electricity in proportion to the amount of
sunlight available, generating the most power on a clear day when the sun is at a normal angle to the
array.
The DC power produced from Solar Array is fed in to a Battery Bank through a charge controller for
storage. This stored energy will be utilized to operate the DC loads of 24V DC with total load of 850 and
1000 Watt.
The solar array is anchored on the ground using special material and equipment supplied by Conergy.
The solar array comprises of solar modules interconnected electrically in series and parallel. These solar
modules are fastened to a support structure, which is fixed on to concrete foundations.

V.1. PV MODULES
Solar cells produce direct current electricity from light, which can be used to power equipment or to
recharge a battery. Cells require protection from the environment and are usually packaged tightly behind a
glass sheet. When more power is required than a single cell can deliver, cells are electrically connected
together to form photovoltaic modules or solar panels. A photovoltaic module is a packaged interconnected
assembly of photovoltaic cells, which converts sunlight into electrical power. The cells are hermitically
sealed between glass and back cover (Tedlar) to protect them from harsh environments.
The modules being offered are IEC 61215 Edition II and IEC 61730 (Part I and Part II) compliant
Each module will have 72 solar cells connected in series.
Each module will be tested using Sun-simulator to find out modules output parameters at standard test
conditions (STC) of irradiance of 1000 W/m², AM1.5 and cell temperature of 25˚C. The module will be
tested by connecting a load with minimum possible resistance to very high resistance to find out the module
parameters from short circuit to open circuit condition.
Each PV module will have RF identification tag. The following information will be mentioned in the RFID
used on each module.

These copper Cables are insulated with a special grade PVC compound formulated and manufactured in-
house. The skin coloration offers high insulation resistance and long life. The sizes of the cables between
array interconnections are selected to keep the voltage drop and losses to the minimum. The bright-
annealed 99.97% pure bare copper conductors that offer low conductor resistance, they result in lower
heating thereby increase in life and savings in power consumption.
Cables are suitable for high temperature resistance and excellent weatherproofing characteristics which
provides a long service life to the cables used in large scale projects. The connectors/lugs of copper
material with high current capacity and easy mode of assembly are used. The used cables are of FRLS
(Fire Retardant Low Smoke) type.
A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical power systems to protect the insulation of the system
from the damaging effect of lightning. When a lightning surge or switching surge travels down the power
system to the arrester, the current from the surge is diverted to Ground and protect the system.
The Earthing system incorporated shall provided necessary safety for the entire Solar PV system in the
field.
