Solar Station in Pavapuri By: Shanay Sanghvi
The Realization of a Problem Pavapuri is a small village in the state of Rajasthan Population of 200 300 people Frequent electricity issues Covid really highlighted the problem on my visit this winter I sat down with the senator to discuss the problem I suggested a solution of implementing a solar station
Potential Obstacles Budget problems Village has low funds Need to look for alternatives Technical Training Villagers are not educated on solar energy Need seminars and workshops for villagers
Finances and Funding Senator connected me to a religious charitable group called K.P.Sanghvi K.P.Sanghvi has helped several villages with Water issues Electricity Schools and Collages They connected me to Mr. Parikh, a mechanical engineer who has worked in the energy industry for 25 years We drew out a rough plan with estimated for energy capacity, plant size, panel requirements K.P.Sanghvi agreed to sponsor the entire project
Identifying and Evaluating Solar Panel Supplier We listed 3 primary suppliers based on Mr. Parikh s experience: Adani : Industry leaders PV Powertech : Growing company Evvo : British company, great industry position Khanak systems, a broker provided us with a bundle which included: Solar panels from each of these companies Construction equipment Labor Insurance
Choosing the Best Supplier Evvo s delivery period was very high which did not align with our schedule We chose to go with Adani for a few reasons: Industry Leaders Great post purchase customer service Affordable price High quality panels Yearly maintenance
Conclusion Once we placed the order, the expected delivery time was 2-3 weeks We started with the construction process of the base of the station Used aluminum for lower costs yet great stability Once we receive the panels, we will begin installing them The journey has been humbling for me as I have realized the importance of basic things in life that most people live without This station will help them for many years to come by: Lowering electricity costs Constant source of reliable electricity Reduced pollution
