How does a Morbi tile unit show the effect of rooftop solar on its footprint?
Report grid imports at 0.710 kg CO2 per kWh and show solar used on site as a separate line with no grid factor. The saving is the solar kWh used times the grid factor, but only grid imports go in Scope 2.
Steps
Grid import kWh from the bill x 0.710.
Solar kWh used from the generation meter.
Avoided emissions: solar kWh x 0.710, reported separately.
Kiln gas is the bigger line
Solar cuts electricity emissions only. In tile making the kiln and dryer gas can be larger, so show both.
Worked example: one month (illustrative quantities)
- Grid imports: 120,000 kWh x 0.710 = 85,200 kg CO2 (Scope 2)
- Solar used on site: 30,000 kWh
- Avoided: 30,000 x 0.710 = 21,300 kg CO2, shown separately
Quantities are illustrative.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads the import units on an electricity bill and applies the India grid factor of 0.710 kg CO2 per kWh. Net-metered units are not treated as consumption, and kVAh lines get no factor until kWh is available. It does not read inverter or solar meter data.
