The operations and maintenance (O&M) of solar plants is a key market area where technologies are continuously evolving. With the rapidly increasing size and scale of solar projects, there is now a greater focus on […]
Renewable energy has become a major aspect of development agendas of countries around the world. As per the International Energy Agency, the use of renewable energy increased by 3 per cent in 2020, corresponding with […]
The global solar manufacturing industry is undoubtedly dominated by China, which accounts for about 71 per cent of the world’s solar manufacturing capacity. Moreover, solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing involves both pre-cell and post-cell processes, and […]
The manufacturing of solar modules can be classified into two stages – pre-cell or silicon-to-wafer stage and post wafer, that is, wafers-to-cells-and-modules. In India, however, there is very little incentive for domestic players to move […]
By Saptak Ghosh, Research Scientist, Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy India has set an ambitious rooftop solar photovoltaic target of 40 GW by 2021-22. However, with only approximately 6.8 GW installed till […]
India’s renewable energy capacity has grown by leaps and bounds in a few short years, on the back of major auctions for utility-scale solar and wind power projects. The increase in the scale and size […]
Working towards its ambitious renewable energy targets, India has progressively increased the volume of renewable energy capacity in the past few years. This expansion is particularly being carried out on the back of the solar […]
By Shreyans Jain, Analyst, Climate Finance, Climate Policy Initiative The Government of India has set a target of installing 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022. In this pursuit, the country has witnessed large capacity […]
The simple idea that the sun never sets – always shining at some location across the globe, where its light can be converted into energy – led to the conceptualisation of the “One Sun One […]
The government has been refocusing its efforts on promoting domestic manufacturing of solar cells and modules. In light of this, various manufacturers have expressed interest in setting up or expanding their manufacturing bases in the […]
There is a strong emphasis on scaling up solar power in India. With an increasing number of projects being installed across the country, there is more demand for quality equipment. Cables and connectors form a […]
India’s renewable energy capacity has grown at an average annual rate of 11 per cent between April 2017 and March 2021, with roughly 35 GW of capacity installations. Solar power alone has been responsible for […]
Although not extensively talked about, junction boxes are a crucial component of solar panels. These devices are pre-installed on the back of solar modules with silicon adhesives and are designed to protect the electrical systems […]
Power transmission lines from a number of renewable energy projects in western Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat have been disrupting the habitat of the Great Indian Bustard (GIB). This has had a detrimental impact on […]
Goa is the smallest state in India, which thrives on its tourism industry. The state’s sunny beaches and pleasant weather attract tourists to throng the place, which also results in a rise in power demand […]
Cables, connectors and junction boxes are among the most critical components of a solar power project. Involved in transporting solar power from modules to inverters and finally to the grid, cables are the lifelines of […]
With the recent exit of SB Energy India, the distress owing to the pandemic is beginning to show in the solar segment. Up until now it was believed that the segment was coping well in […]
Haryana is a small agrarian state in India with abundant sunlight and ample biomass availability, although it has limited land for renewable energy development. So far, the state has primarily depended on fossil fuels to […]
Gautam Solar was founded in 1998 as Gautam Polymers, a supplier of solar components to system integrators. The company has now expanded to become a supplier of a wide range of domestic and industrial solar products […]
India’s solar power market has witnessed impressive growth owing to various government measures such as the VGF/GBI in the initial phase, the ISTS waiver, a concessional GST regime, the renewable purchase obligation (RPO), a transparent […]
