Which is the best institute in solar energy to provide placements in India?

SOLAR TECHNOLOGY which is an emerging Technology that acquired global recognition in view of depleting natural resources. Vidal NDT came forward with advanced laboratory and better job opportunities for the students since all other sources of energy are exhaustible. Solar energy alone is inexhaustible. Hence the global importance for solar energy source. The course imparts knowledge on extraction and application of this most vital source of energy. 

Not only in mechanical stream but also for the electrical students Vidal NDT institute covers professional training in PV solar with maximum number of Industrial visits along with the best infrastructure in the laboratory providing the faculty who got well experience in the industrial sites.

There are many solar courses are running with different kind of certification and most of them will claim assistance in placement, but for good placement your knowledge in solar and experience in solar field matters.

With about 300 clear and sunny days in a year, the calculated solar energy incidence on India's land area is about 5000 trillion kilowatt-hours per year. The solar energy available in a single year exceeds the possible energy output of all of the fossil fuel energy reserves in India. The daily average solar-power-plant generation capacity in India is 0.20 kWh per m² of used land area, equivalent to 1400–1800 peak capacity operating hours in a year with available, commercially-proven technology.

Solar-power plants equipped with battery-storage systems where net energy metering is used can feed stored electricity into the power grid when its frequency is below the rated parameter and draw excess power from the grid when its frequency is above the rated parameter. Excursions above and below the rated grid frequency occur about 100 times daily. The solar-plant owner would receive nearly double the price for electricity sent into the grid compared to that consumed from the grid if a frequency-based tariff is offered to rooftop solar plants or plants dedicated to a distribution substation. A power-purchase agreement is not needed for solar plants with a battery storage system to serve ancillary-service operations and transmit generated electricity for captive consumption using an open-access facility. Battery storage is popular in India, with more than 10 million households using battery backup during load shedding. Battery storage systems are also used to improve the power factor. Solar PV or wind paired with four-hour battery storage systems is already cost competitive, without subsidy, as a source of dispatchable generation compared with new coal and new gas plants in India”.

Battery storage is also used economically to reduce daily/monthly peak power demand for minimising the monthly demand charges from the utility to the commercial and industrial establishments. Construction power tariffs are very high in India. Construction power needs of long gestation mega projects can be economically met by installing solar PV plants for permanent service in the project premises with or without battery storage for minimising use of Standby generator sets or costly grid power.

The renewable energy sector is expanding, and the need for a workforce is obvious. But not all these new opportunities will reduce poverty. WRI’s report

 finds that positions fall primarily into two categories. Formal, permanent jobs for both semi-skilled and unskilled workers in the off-grid space often come with a regular pay, provide health benefits, follow safety standards and offer training opportunities. But majority of the jobs that are available to unskilled and semi-skilled workers are those created during the construction stage of on-grid projects. These jobs are informal, temporary positions that lack stability and safeguards against losses, although they do provide an additional source of income. Some on-grid projects offer an opportunity for semi-skilled workers to enter into formal and long-term contracts for the operations and maintenance of the plants. However, these are much fewer in number, compared to those being created for construction.

Decision-makers must embed innovative features that promote inclusion of India’s poor into the trainings, programs and policies developed for the renewable energy sector. Initiatives that create a sense of ownership, build rural Indians’ capacities and reduce the thresholds for entry to training programs can go a long way in generating employment for those who need it most. At the same time, training institutes must work with employers to identify which jobs are needed, which capacities to build and where such jobs are located.

Past efforts to specifically include the poor have not been assessed, so it is difficult to make estimates of the number of jobs and their impact. Our institute not only giving the solar training but we provide placement as early as possible after completing the training.
