    In the rural village of Kanwarpura, Rajasthan, this doctor turned solar entrepreneur is using the KUSUM Yojana to boost his income by 200 times while providing clean energy to the farming community.
    The village of Kanmarpura was struggling with a water crisis when Amit Singh decided to seek out a modern solution for his deteriorating farmland and hence became the first person in India to generate income by selling clean energy to DISCOM using the PM- KUSUM Yojana.
    Amit was always fascinated by the concept of electricity and had already powered his clinic back in the village with a grid solar power system. So when PM KUSUM Yojana provided him with an opportunity to diversify his dream, He didn’t hesitate.
    But it was not easy for Amit, being the first person he had his fair share of challenges regarding arranging finances and getting necessary help.
    But Amit firmly believes that clean energy is the way forward and the new Yojana can bring income to a lot of farmers with barren lands and can further provide beneficiary to the community.

    As far as I understood, One drawback in KUSUM is "Fixed Rate purchase for 25 years". Electricity tarrif is getting costlier day by day but farmer will get fix rate for 25 years. So Discom should share the profit with farmer as well.

      @@liladevi3169 if you buy solar panels for any use, there is a warranty that panels would retain atleast 80% of energy generation capacity as compared to initial days (solar panels degrade slowly with time) so if you are making on avg 5 units per kw panel on day1, after 25 years it will be around 4 units per kw. Hence panels are still usable albeit with slightly less output. after 25 years you can use them for personal purpose or can sell them to any private factory owners incase govt doesnt renew the contract. However one major thing to watch out for is that after 25 years, solar and other renewable energy technologies will be much advanced and therefore renewal of the ppa has really low chances.

      Solar panels get damaged in high heat. It is not just about the availability of sunlight. Ambient temperatures also matter. Desert days are too hot and nights are too cold. The temperature/time gradient is very steep. Diodes will get destroyed easily. Tension cables also stretch and shrink faster than their specifications. Dry and hot is !=solar plant area.

    PM-KUSUM consists of three components and aims to add a solar capacity of 30.8 GW by 2022:
    Component-A: 10,000 MW of decentralised ground-mounted grid-connected renewable power plants.
    Component-B: Installation of two million standalone solar-powered agriculture pumps.

    Now if agreement says that rates would be revised then it will be a huge loss because no one knows what discoms may offer. And if its fix price then it will be okay!
    Also as per him cost of plant is 3.5 cr and he earns 4 lkh a month so it will take him roughly 9 to 10 years to payback loans! And definitely it's more then 10 years..

    This is a great scheme for transitioning to renewable energy but in terms of farmer welfare it is not effective. As small farmer cannot afford that kind of capital investment and banks asks for collateral. Also there are so many terms & condition which make this scheme inaccessible to small farmer. So at this moment it is only helping farmer who are already well off and have enough disposable income.
    To help small farmers the government need to create a dedicated body which would as act as a facilitator between farmer and discoms. This body should also ensure that collateral requirement is kept bare minimum.

    The solar panels can be mounted 6 to 7 feet high so that there is space below it for farming and growing fish. Shade loving plants like leafy vegetables grow bigger leaves in the shade! The water from aquaculture can be used to water the plants with organic nutrition and to wash the solar panels. The solar panels in turn decrease water evaporation. The electricity generated can be used for pumping the water from water tanks to clean the solar panels and also water the nearby agriculture beds which clans the dirty water from the fish growing ponds and can be reused for the fish again. Others abroad have already done these things

    It is good option for Amit to develope,it is appreciatable. But what if all farmers opt this option.

    It will take 8 years for ROI and damage due to weather and maintenance cost is different thing
    So overall untill the cost of panel gets reduced its a loss

    This is India and things aren't as simple as it looks. In a village in Karnataka, there are grid connected PV water pumps owned by many farmers as part of a scheme. The grid to the pumps is shut down to prevent farmers from exporting power. This shuts down the pump too. The electricity distribution companies don't have money to pay to the distributed producers in many states of India

      Exactly, not to mention the initial cost is astronomical to most farmers 😳

    Raise the level from the Floor. Protect the wiring and you can grow Grass and it could be used for cattle grazing land.

    Wonder why a person is earning 4 lakhs per month but still no material luxury in his vicinity? The cost is so high that for initial 10 years he is making no profit. The cost includes cost of the land, the equipment, the maintenance and opportunity costs (implicit costs). Good luck to him.

      Those 4 lakh per month is going for loan repayment.

      The maximum subsidy offered under this scheme is up to 60% provided to farmers. Additional 30% of the cost will be offered in the form of loans. Therefore, farmers will have to submit only 10% of the cost.

    This is good job when it is comes to energy producing with echo friendly but when it comes to profit per year looks 14-16% , mutual funds will give same amount of profit. But there is good future for solar energy

    3.4 cr @ 12 % = approx 40 Lacks
    also this will compound and give more returns
