Tender floated for the rooftop solar power plant in Goa Legislative Assembly

Tender floated for the installation of a grid-connected rooftop solar power plant of the secretariat building in Goa.

In the Goa legislative assembly complex in Porvorim, solar rooftop power plants will be installed.

The Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA) is inviting proposals for supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of the power plant, as well as operations and maintenance.

An installation of a grid-connected rooftop solar power plant with a capacity of 40 kWp will be done on the third floor of the secretariat building at a cost of Rs 30 lakh.

A rooftop solar power plant that is connected to the grid will work on a net metering basis, in which the electricity generated by the building is fed back to the grid.

GEDA has clarified that the contractor will be prohibited from puncturing the RCC roof and must design and erect the plant without damaging it.

In a request for proposals by the agency, it was stated that the solar plant must be installed on metal sheets, which will cover an elevated frame that will be erected on the third floor’s flat roof.

The state of Goa had more than 250 solar prosumers, or consumers and producers of solar energy, as of March this year. Approximately 40% are domestic consumers, while the rest are commercial and industrial consumers,” the official said.

In addition to GEDA, Goa University, PWD offices, NIT, MPT, and Raj Bhavan, several states and central government departments, agencies, and educational institutions have installed solar power plants.
