Overview
Nokh - Precision Technik Solar Power Plant is a 5 MW solar PV facility in Rajasthan, India, owned by Precision Technik Private Limited. It contributes to India's renewable energy capacity under national solar targets.
Nokh - Precision Technik Solar Power Plant is a 5 MW solar photovoltaic facility located in the Nokh region of Rajasthan, India. The plant is owned and operated by Precision Technik Private Limited and is currently operational, adding to the state's growing solar energy portfolio. The plant operates under India's ambitious renewable energy framework, which targets 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Rajasthan, with its high solar irradiance, is a key state for solar development, supported by policies like the Rajasthan Solar Energy Policy and central incentives under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. As a 5 MW solar PV installation, this plant contributes to local grid stability and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Its operation aligns with India's climate goals, displacing an estimated 7,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. The facility also supports rural electrification and energy access in the region.
Environmental context
Rajasthan's arid climate and high solar insolation make it ideal for solar PV generation. The plant's location in a desert ecosystem minimizes land-use conflicts, though large-scale solar farms can impact local wildlife and require careful siting. Water usage for panel cleaning is minimal compared to thermal plants, but dust accumulation in dry areas may affect efficiency. Grid integration of intermittent solar power remains a challenge, addressed through energy storage and grid modernization initiatives.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in the Nokh region of Rajasthan, India, at coordinates 27.5728 N, 72.2060 E.
The plant has a capacity of 5 MW, making it a small-scale solar PV installation.
The plant is owned by Precision Technik Private Limited, an Indian company.
India's solar energy is driven by the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, targeting 100 GW solar by 2022, and state-level policies like the Rajasthan Solar Energy Policy, which offers incentives for solar projects.
Solar PV in Rajasthan benefits from high solar irradiance but requires land use in desert ecosystems. It has low water consumption and no emissions, though grid integration and wildlife impacts are managed through siting and technology.
