Remark:
a) It has been observed that solar power generation under Batch-I have lot of variation from CUF11.57 % to 21.27 % and maximum CUF is during month of May 2014. Average CUF is 14.89 % and
Average Solar power generation is 108658 KWh/MW. This variation is due to the fact that projects
are installed in thirteen States ( State wise analysis is also done and given below)
b) Under Batch-II, there is no such variation of CUF. Minimum CUF is 17.95 % in the month of January.
Average CUF is 20.92 % and Average Solar power generation is 152700 KWh/MW. Under Batch II,
maximum solar power projects have been installed in the state of Rajasthan and show CUF of more
than 20 %.

Remark:
a) Both technologies have been used in Batch I.
b) In MP, Rajasthan and UP, CUF of Crystalline Technology is more than thin film but in A.P., Odisha
CUF of thin film is more than Crystalline Technology.
c) Overall CUF of Crystalline Technology is more than thin film technology.
d) Average power generation per MW of all above states with Crystalline Technology is more in
comparison to thin film technology.
e) Average % CUF for the stated period of a project with crystalline technology comes to 17.00
f) Average % CUF for the stated period of a project with thin film technology comes to 16.23
g) CUF more than 20 % is in the state of Rajasthan.

Remark:
a) Thin film is producing more power per MW in the state of Rajasthan. No other comparison can be
made because projects with same technology are not available in other states.
b) In Batch II, Average CUF is 20 % because maximum solar power projects have been installed in the
state of Rajasthan
