Solar Concept What is Solar ? What is Solar Energy ? Uses of S olar energy Solar Products Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

What is solar ? Solar is termed for “relating to Sun” or “dependent upon sun ”. Example “Solar Water Heater” :- Product “Solar water heater” is termed as “Solar water heater” because it depends upon sun to heat the water Solar Water Heater Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

What is Solar energy ? Solar energy is the energy provided by Sun. This energy is obtained from Sun Radiation. Use Case :- Sun radiation is converted to electric energy, which is then used by electric resources like Bulb etc , as below Solar Panel : Used to convert Solar Radiation to electric energy Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Uses of solar energy Firstly solar energy is renewable energy ( renewable energy is the energy from source where the source will exist infinitely) Solar energy is used generate electricity which inturn can be used as home light, electrifying house, street light etc Solar energy can be used to heat the water Solar energy can be used to pump the water for irrigation, house etc Solar energy can be used for generators for storing electricity to use for later purpose Solar energy is used for the creation of power plant in farms, commercial offices, schools etc Now a days, Solar energy is used in aero planes, cars, to create chimney etc Save amount in the electricity bill by using solar on behalf of govt power supply Increases the home value Subsidy and incentives from govt Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Main Solar P roducts Solar home light :- Street Light :- Used as street light Solar Generator : - Used to store electricity Used to light up your home Solar water heater :- Used to heat the water . Solar pumps :- Used to pump the water Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Business 1. Business Opportunities Types of Solar Business Opportunities Revenue Valuation, Sales, Market Opportunities Skills required 2. Solar Power Projects Types of Solar Power Projects Revenue Valuation, Sales, Market Opportunities Skills required 3. Solar Product Manufacturing Steps to Manufacture Solar Product Revenue Valuation, Sales, Market Opportunities Skills required Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Business Opportunities What is Business Opportunity ? It is the set of products, information, tools, rights, people buy to start the business Types of Business Opportunities Franchise Distributorship Dealerships Sub-Dealers Channel Partners Types of Solar Business Opportunities Franchise Dealerships Channel Partners Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Business Opportunities Franchise :- It is defined as, Right to sell company product or services in particular area. Below diagram describes the same Franchisor :- Who provides Franchise Customer willing to buy Franchise Partner with Franchisor and provide Franchise Fee, Commission on sales to Franchisor Once Parnetnered,Franchisor will provide Products, Right to use there brand, Equipment's Training Employees Marketting Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Franchise Valuation Below tables indicates the Solar Franchise Revenue and Market valuation (How worth Franchise is ?) Investment (Range) Avarage Margin ROI Liking Cusotmers Minimum Earning Per Day 50k to 5ak 30%   30% Cities/Villages where power goes off frequently, House where sun light reach is low, Commercial buildings, Godowns , Streets where no lights are there, House where more power is consumed Customers interested in saving electricity bills If very low cost product is sold with a min margin of 30% at a rate of one per day then minimum of 500rp/day can be earned. Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

How it works :- Partner with Company which provide franchise. Partnering involves mutual agreement sign off between company and the person willing to buy franchise. If your firm not registered, company will provide guidelines on how to proceed Once partnered, You need to invest to buy some products, for security deposit, Showroom design and other things When you buy the products, you will buy the product with 30 percent less than MRP (Maximum Retail Price) but you will sell the product at MRP price to customer . Example :- Suppose a Home Light cost MRP 2000rp, Then a franchise will buy that Home Light at 30% less than MRP, Which is equal to 1400rp. Then same Home Light is sold to customer at 2000rp. Franchise will earn a profit of 600rp Note :- Transport depends on company, they might provide or might not. Note :- Technicians and Installation help depends on company. Either they may provide technicians or you may hire. There Salary/Commission depends on company. Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Business Opportunities Dealership :- It is also similar to franchise and defined as, Right to sell company product or services in particular area. But some differences are there. Below diagram describes the same Manufacturer/Distributor Customer willing to become Dealers Partner with Manufacturer/Distributor and buys product Once Partnered, Manufacturer/ Distribut will provide only the products and sometimes training (Unlike what Franchise provides) Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Dealership Valuation Below tables indicates the Solar Dealership Revenue Valuation (How worth dealership is ?) Investment (Range) Avarage Margin ROI Liking Cusotmers Minimum Earning Per Day On need basis (Means when customer wants the product) 15% to 50%   15% to 50% Cities/Villages where power goes off frequently, House where sun light reach is low, Commercial buildings, Godowns , Streets where no lights are there, House where more power is consumed, Customers interested in saving electricity bills If very low cost product is sold with a min margin of 15% at the rate of one per day then minimum of 3 00rp/day can be earned. Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

How it works ? Partner with Company which provide Dealership. Dealership involves mutual agreement sign off between company and the person willing to buy dealership. It works like below If Firm Registered When you buy the product, you will buy the product with (range 15 to 50) percent less than MRP but you will sell the product at MRP to customer. If Firm Not Registered When you buy the product, you will buy the product with MRP price and sell the product at same MRP to customer. Your commission or margin will be provided by company at later point of time through cash or deposit in your personal account. Note :- Transport, installation depends on how much customer order you have. It also depends on how much margin/commission company will provide. If they provide more commission like 50%, then transport and installation should always be taken care by dealers Note :- Technicians and Installation help depends on company. Either they may provide technicians or you may hire. There Salary/Commission depends on company. Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Power Projects Before going to solar projects, Lets understand some of the terminologies What is solar power? Solar power is converting sunlight into the electricity using PV (photovoltaic) panels What is photovoltaic panels? Photovoltaic is a method of converting sunlight directly in electricity. Photovoltaic panels is the product used for this conversation . What is Solar Projects ? Solar Projects means the project which involves in electrifying the house/commercial or a village etc using solar energy Types of Solar Power Projects Off-Grid Installation Grid –Tie Installation Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Off-Grid electric Installation It is one of the schemes used in the solar power generation method. In this scheme, Generated electricity from solar energy is not supplied to main electric grid or connected to main electric grid. Fig below explains the same . Below figure shows how Off Grid Solar Electric Install Works

Products involved in this type of Installation. Solar panel modules :- These panels are photovoltic panels which convert sunlight into electric energy. Battery :- These are rechargeable batteries, That is these batteries can be recharged Charge controller :- It links solar panel, battery and electric load. It take cares charging or de-charging the battery Inverter :- Converts DC currect to alternate current . AC Loads :- These are the devices which run with AC Current DC Loads :- These are the devices which run with DC Current Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

What this business Involves ? This business involves in electrifying house or commercial using solar energy. This business works as below, If house or any commercial building wants to get electricity from solar panels, first thing you have to do is to study how much kilowatt hours electricity they use per month Next understand how much electric power they want to generate from solar power. Lets say they want 100 percent. Then determine how much watt solar panel is required to electrify completely . Solar calculators are available to determine how much watt solar panel is required based on there consumption . Based on the calculator result, Need to get help or work under experienced solar grid installaler for few installation to get practical experience of it. Also you need to get the knowledge about Battery Sizing, Inverter Sizing and Charge controller. Sizing depends on how much voltage and amps the products are using. This experience will come by experience with installation Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Power Project Off Grid Valuation Investment :- This can be done in two forms -Work as channel partner and just provide customer lead who is interested in solar off grid installation. Manufacturer will take care of installation and provide you the commission out of it -Purchase all items from manufacturer and take care of installation. Investment (Range) Avg Margin Liking Customer ROI Minimum Earning Per Month Depends whether you install or MFR install. For 1kw general cost is 1,20,000 15 to 20 % ( Depends whether you install or MFR install. If you take care of installation you can earn more percentage of margin) Commercial buildings, Farm land, Houses   15% to 20 % (again depends on installation) If minimum one project is done per month, A min of 15000rp can be earned. This depends on how much watt power you install. But can gain handful of money from lakhs to even crore with experience

Grid Tied Solar Power Installation It is one of the schemes used in the solar power generation method. In this scheme, Generated electricity from solar energy is supplied to the main electric grid or connected to main electric grid. Fig below explains the same. Below figure shows how Off Grid Solar Electric Install Works

Battery :- These are rechargeable batteries, That is these batteries can be recharged Charge controller :- It links solar panel, battery and electric load. It take cares charging or de-charging the battery Inverter :- Converts DC currect to alternate current. This inverter is connected to main grid. When solar energy is less and not able to charge the battery then battery is charged using main grid. If excess power is generated by solar panels and battery is fully charged, then excess energy is sent to grid. AC Loads :- These are the devices which run with AC Current DC Loads :- These are the devices which run with DC Current How this business works :- It is similar to off-grid installation but necessary arrangements needs to be made such that some amount of electric energy generated by solar energy can be supplied to Main Grid Copyright @ Green Turtles Technologies Pvt Ltd

Solar Power Project Valuation Investment :- This can be done in two forms -Work as channel partner and just provide customer lead who is interested in solar off grid installation. Manufacturer will take care of installation and provide you the commission out of it -Purchase all items from manufacturer and take care of installation.
