Ayodhya Solar City

METHODOLOGY FOR AYODHYA SOLAR CITY PROJECT
1. Project Details

Project: Ayodhya Solar City – UPNEDA
Location: Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh
Total Capacity: 88 kW
Solar Trees: 14 Nos. × 3 kW + 40 Nos. × 1.2 kW
Solar Water Kiosks: 10 Nos. × 2.65 kW
System Type: Off-Grid
Battery: 240 Ah Lithium Battery Bank
Solar Tree Height: Approx. 7 m
Solar Tree Width: Approx. 12 m

2. Scope of Work

The work includes site preparation, foundation and structural works, installation of solar trees and water kiosks, solar PV modules, batteries, controllers/inverters, electrical cabling, earthing, testing, commissioning and final handover.

3. Site Preparation

The site shall be inspected for location, orientation, access, existing utilities and installation requirements. Locations for the solar trees and water kiosks shall be marked as per the approved layout. All materials shall be inspected before installation.

4. Foundation & Structure Installation

Foundations shall be constructed as per the approved structural drawings. After the foundations achieve the required strength, the solar tree structures shall be erected, aligned and securely fixed using suitable lifting equipment. The water kiosk structures shall also be installed at their designated locations.

5. Solar Installation

The required solar PV modules shall be installed on the solar tree structures using approved clamps and fasteners. Modules shall be properly aligned and cables shall be routed and secured safely. Solar water kiosk PV systems shall be installed as per the approved design.

6. Electrical & Battery Installation

The off-grid solar systems shall be connected to the respective charge controllers/inverters and lithium battery banks. DC and AC cables shall be properly sized, routed, supported and identified. Battery banks and electrical equipment shall be installed with adequate protection and ventilation as required.

7. Earthing & Protection

Solar tree structures, module frames, electrical equipment and other exposed metallic parts shall be properly earthed as per the approved electrical design. Required protection devices shall be installed and verified before energization.

8. Testing & Commissioning

The complete system shall be inspected and tested for polarity, continuity, insulation resistance, voltage, battery operation, earthing and other applicable parameters. The inverter/controller settings shall be verified, followed by system energization and commissioning. The solar trees and water kiosks shall be monitored to confirm proper operation.

9. Safety

All activities shall be carried out by competent personnel using appropriate PPE and approved safety procedures. Special precautions shall be taken for work at height, lifting operations, electrical works and battery installation.

10. Handover

After successful commissioning, the complete installation shall be inspected and the site cleaned. Test reports, commissioning records, as-built drawings and relevant equipment documents shall be submitted for final approval and handover.
