Wind power deployment began in India more than three decades back to cross 40 GW of installed capacity today. A significant chunk of this capacity is based on old wind turbine technology of low capacity. […]
The COP26 conference held in November 2021 saw India extending its ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022 to 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030. India also […]
Repowering of old wind projects is a low-hanging fruit to increase wind generation without using extra land. India has a significant number of old wind turbines, with a capacity of less than 1 MW, which […]
As countries across the world move towards a clean energy future, the renewable energy sector is witnessing tremendous progress in terms of new technologies and fuels. Green hydrogen is now a part of several countries’ […]
Green hydrogen, which is produced through electrolysis using electricity generated from renewables, is a crucial part of India’s energy transition and decarbonisation plans. It has a zero carbon footprint and can be utilised for the […]
In the British era, Kolkata’s gas pipeline, which used to power street lights, had a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This practice was commonplace in other Indian cities too. Later, with the discovery of […]
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 […]
By Khushboo Goyal Ensuring optimum solar plant performance and quality of assets is perhaps the most critical consideration for a developer today. At a time when solar tariffs have hit rock bottom at sub- Rs 2.50 per […]
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 […]
Electric mobility is a critical focus area in the energy transition space for governments worldwide. The electric vehicle (EV) market is set to revolutionise the global and domestic road transportation sector. In India, although the […]
Transitioning to electric mobility is a crucial element of the global green mobility movement as it can play a momentous role in decarbonising the transport sector. India is among the few countries that support the […]
Decarbonising the transportation sector will inevitably require a transition to electric mobility. India’s policymakers have been passionately promoting this transition. With India aiming to make electric vehicles (EVs) account for at least 30 per cent […]
India’s electric vehicle (EV) sector is growing at a phenomenal pace with annual EV sales expected to hit 630,000 by 2027. Despite these optimistic estimates, there are concerns related to range anxiety, high prices (especially […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
