Launched in March 2019 by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) is primarily aimed at promoting the use of solar energy in the […]
Growth in the solar power segment can be attributed to a host of factors such as fall in tariffs, policy push, ambitious targets and offtaker interest. The utility-scale solar installed capacity had crossed 31.3 GW […]
With around 35 GW of solar power capacity installed and more than this in the pipeline for the next two years, the quality aspect of these projects has become a cause for concern for developers […]
India has been witnessing rapid capacity additions in the solar PV segment, driven by factors such as the emergence of a large number of project developers and highly competitive tariffs. While solar power has now […]
While solar power capacity installation and generation has improved significantly, its integration into the existing grid system continues to be a challenge. In this regard, the role of the National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC) and […]
Since the expected life cycle of a solar power plant spans about a quarter of a century, the durability of solar panels is extremely important. The quality of panels and all other components in a […]
The performance of a solar project depends not only on its equipment, but also on its manufacturing process. As new and emerging technologies are applied in manufacturing, the equipment quality improves and so does overall […]
India’s real estate sector is expected to contribute 13 per cent to the country’s GDP by 2025 and reach a market size of $1 trillion by 2030. However, the environmental footprint of this industry is […]
Interest in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), wherein PV modules are utilised as the roof, facade, walls, windows and sunshades of buildings, is growing worldwide. This is partly because of the emphasis on sustainable green buildings and […]
By Ashay Abbhi With the pressure to reduce solar power plant costs, quality has become a serious concern among developers. A typical solar panel is expected to last for 25 years at a nominal degradation […]
By Sarthak Takyar Solar power as a sustainable and environment-friendly source of clean energy has been receiving increasing attention in recent decades. Two technologies have predominantly been used to harness solar power: solar photovoltaic and […]
By Ashay Abbhi The solar power segment has witnessed significant growth in the past few years, owing to a rapid fall in tariffs, strong off-taker interest, the government’s push for installations and tendering, and a […]

By Sarthak Takyar After an impressive growth in capacity over the past few years, it is about time that the solar power industry took into consideration the quality aspect of projects. Given the project life […]
Khushboo Goyal Solar power cables and connectors are among of the most important components of a solar project. Being the lifelines of solar power plants, they transmit generated solar power from modules to inverters and […]
By Ashay Abbhi The status of junction boxes in the solar power market imitates their physical arrangement in a solar module, hidden at the back and often overlooked. However, this is not a reflection of […]
There are many ways to maximise wind power generation at a particular site. One of the prime solutions is bigger rotors and blades, which can cover a wider area. The benefits of using longer blades […]
Wind power capacity has been growing at a brisk pace globally over the past few years. This trend is expected to continue with increase in the demand for clean and renewable energy. In India, wind […]
The introduction of the competitive bidding regime in the wind power segment in 2017-18 led to a slowdown in capacity installation. But with tendering activity picking up pace, the scenario is likely to improve soon. […]
India has an ambitious goal of installing 225 GW of renewable energy, including 175 GW of solar and wind by 2022. Analysts expect that the country will achieve at least 175 GW, though this will put a […]
