Land Requirement for Megawatt Solar Plant
Land availability plays a key role in megawatt project planning.
- Approx. 4–5 acres required for 1 MW solar plant
- Suitable locations: Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Madurai, Salem, Trichy & surrounding regions.
- Land selection depends on distance from the substation, grid connectivity availability, road access, and suitable terrain & soil condition.
Estimated Land Requirement by Capacity
- 1 MW Solar Plant: Approx. 4–5 acres
- 2 MW Solar Plant: Approx. 8–10 acres
- 5 MW Solar Plant: Approx. 20–25 acres
- 10 MW Solar Plant: Approx. 40–50 acres
Note: High-efficiency solar panels (600W and above) can reduce land requirements by 10–15%, while fixed-tilt systems generally require more space compared to tracker-based systems.
Per MW Cost
₹4 Crore – ₹5 Crore per MW (Includes panels, inverters, civil works, electrical infrastructure, and grid connectivity.)
Land & Infrastructure Cost
Land price varies based on location, accessibility, and distance from substation. Civil foundation, mounting structures, and electrical setup form a key part of project cost.
Operation & Maintenance
Annual maintenance ensures consistent performance, higher efficiency, and long system life of 25+ years with stable ROI.
Solar Megawatt Farm Project Cost in Tamil Nadu
The cost of setting up a megawatt-scale solar plant in Tamil Nadu depends on factors like land value, system capacity, technology used, and grid connectivity distance. Proper investment planning ensures better long-term returns and efficient power generation.
A typical 1 MW solar project includes expenses for solar panels, inverters, civil works, electrical infrastructure, transmission setup, land (if purchased), and ongoing maintenance. Costs may vary slightly based on location and technical requirements.
ROI of Solar Farm Projects in Tamil Nadu
Solar megawatt projects are high-investment assets designed to generate stable, long-term returns. The overall performance and ROI depend on factors like PPA tariff rates, plant efficiency (CUF), grid connectivity, evacuation readiness, financing structure, and quality of operation & maintenance.
Tamil Nadu offers strong solar generation potential, making it one of the best locations in India for solar farm investments.
