PROJECT PROFILE · CERTIFICATE-BASED CLIMATE PROTECTION
The Bundled Solar Photovoltaic Project by ACME bundles grid-connected photovoltaic systems across several Indian states. This page documents the project structure, calculation methods, registry status, and units – without treating solar power as a blanket, comprehensive proof of sustainability.

WHY THE NETWORK REFERENCE MATTERS
Solar power is measurable. What it replaces in the grid remains a methodological calculation.
The project plants feed electricity into the Indian grid. For the climate balance, the determined net electricity volume is linked with a methodologically determined emission factor of the relevant power system.
An issued unit therefore does not confirm that a specific coal-fired power plant has been physically decommissioned. It documents a difference between the project and reference scenarios, calculated according to the applied methods and verified for a defined period.

Regarding the units: the values visible in the registry for active, retired and cancelled VCUs do not add up to the total number of issued VCUs stated there. The public overview does not explain this discrepancy. For a concrete allocation, the vintage, serial numbers and current status of the respective units are therefore decisive.
02 · WHAT "BUNDLED PROJECT" MEANS
Multiple systems are brought together under a common project framework
The register description names several project sponsors and special purpose vehicles. The plants are located in various federal states, but feed solar power into public grids within the registered project framework.
01
Bundle attachments
A bundled project groups several photovoltaic systems and responsible companies under common methodological and documentary rules.
02
Record electricity consumption
For the purpose of balancing, the net electricity volume of the included systems determined according to the project rules is documented in the respective monitoring periods.
03
Merge results
Verified reductions are allocated to the overall registered project. For individual VCUs, the vintage, monitoring period, and serial numbers remain decisive.
03 · HOW A UNIT IS CREATED
A calculated reduction is derived from the generated electricity and the grid reference.
ACM0002 and AMS-I.D. are shown in the register. Both relate to grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources; their project-specific application in the respective documents remains decisive.
01
Determine net electricity volume
The electricity delivered to the grid according to the project rules is recorded for the monitoring period.
02
Calculate network reference
A methodologically determined emission factor describes which emissions would be associated with the corresponding quantity of electricity in the reference system.
03
Consider project emissions
Insofar as relevant to the methodology and project design, emissions attributable to the project are deducted from the calculated baseline emissions.
04
Verify and issue
Following monitoring and independent verification, VCUs can be issued in the registry for the confirmed net reduction.
04 · ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY
No combustion during electricity generation does not mean: without resources and impacts.
Photovoltaics provide electricity without the ongoing use of fuel at the plant site. Nevertheless, the manufacture, construction, land use, grid integration, and subsequent treatment of the components remain distinct areas of consideration.
Electricity
Generation without ongoing combustion
During operation, photovoltaic modules generate electricity without burning coal, gas, or other fuels. The physical displacement of a specific power plant cannot be inferred from this.
AREA
Location and land use
Ground-mounted solar systems occupy land and can affect soil, vegetation, or existing land uses. The type and extent of these impacts must be considered separately for each individual system.
MATERIALS
Technology lifecycle
Modules, inverters, substructures, cabling and construction work require materials and energy. Maintenance, replacement and subsequent recycling are also part of the overall consideration.
NETWORK
Variable feed-in
Electricity generation depends on solar radiation. A contribution to the generation mix therefore does not automatically guarantee security of supply or continuously available capacity.
THEMATIC SDG RELEVANCE
Clear links exist with SDG 7 'Affordable and Clean Energy' and SDG 13 'Climate Action'. Further economic or social impacts must be proven on the basis of the project documentation; the SDG assignment is not a seal of quality.
05 · FOR SUPPORTING COMPANIES
A registry record does not yet constitute an association with a company.
Documented support is only established through the clear allocation and decommissioning of specific units. This includes:
01
Project name and Verra ID VCS 1753
02
allocated quantity in t CO₂e
03
Vintage or monitoring period
04
Write-off date and register reference
05
unique VCU serial numbers
06
Beneficiary or documented purpose
06 · CLASSIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION
What the support means – and what it doesn't
A voluntary climate contribution is presented separately from emissions within one's own value chain.
IT DOCUMENTS
IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN
a registered, bundled solar project with issued VCUs
a generally environmentally friendly or consequence-free power generation
an emission reduction calculated in accordance with ACM0002 and AMS-I.D.
a direct measurement of avoided CO₂ emissions
Electricity data and a methodical grid factor as the basis for calculation
the physical decommissioning of a specific coal-fired power station
Plants in several Indian states
Security of supply or an equally large additional social impact per VCU
a decommissioning of specific units for a beneficiary
a reduction in one's own emissions
Project, standard, vintage, quantity and serial numbers
Climate neutrality of a product or company
