Solar PV can enhance substation efficiency and resilience
EPR Magazine (Electrical & Power Review)
|May 2025
By adopting cutting-edge technologies like Perovskite solar cells, the company ensures that its energy systems are effective and environmentally responsible, aligning with global sustainability goals.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are pivotal in transitioning substations from reliance on conventional power sources to renewable energy. By harnessing sunlight to generate electricity, these systems offer a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation.
Reducing Dependency on Conventional Power Sources
Integrating solar PV into substations enhances grid resilience and efficiency. It reduces transmission and distribution losses, lowers generation costs and bolsters energy security. This integration is particularly beneficial in regions with high solar irradiance, such as India, where solar energy can significantly offset conventional energy consumption.
Novasys Greenergy, India's leading renewable energy company, exemplifies this transition. By implementing solar PV systems in substations, the company not only reduces dependency on traditional power sources but also contributes to the country's renewable energy goals. The company's initiatives align with the country's sustainable development and energy independence.
