The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has issued a request for proposals for the design, engineering, construction, erection, testing, and commissioning of a 5 MW grid-connected saffron-based agro solar power plant in Jammu & […]
Saatvik Green Energy, a manufacturing company, has increased its capacity to 1 GW with the installation of a 500 MW mono PERC panel facility in Ambala, Haryana. The company aims for 3 GW of annual photovoltaic equipment […]
Land acquisition challenges have long hindered the implementation of large solar power projects in India. Many projects have been delayed, tenders postponed and bids cancelled. Thus, other solar segments such as rooftop and floating solar […]
As most renewable energy projects, especially solar projects, are land intensive, floating solar is emerging as an efficient alternative. According to an article titled “Renewable Energy and Land Use in India: A Vision to Facilitate […]
RenewSys has announced that its annual solar cell encapsulant manufacturing output has reached 3 GW with the recent commissioning of a new encapsulant line at its Bengaluru facility. Ethylene-vinyl acetate and polyolefin elastomer sheets can […]
The fast growing solar segment owes its growth to the uptake in project installations. To fully utilise the solar potential from the large number of solar projects, it is important for them to be efficient […]
Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) has issued a request for proposals from developers for the procurement of power from 500 MW of grid-connected solar power projects (Phase-XIII). GUVNL plans to purchase solar power capacity […]
At the recently-concluded 26th session of the Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, the prime minister announced that India would aim to increase its non-fossil fuel capacity to 500 GW by 2030. He also said […]
A recent positive trend, particularly for developers in the commercial and industrial (C&I) space, has been in the greater interest of consumers in renewable energy. They are looking to not only reduce their operational expenses, […]
The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has set a generic tariff of Rs 3.61 per kWh for grid-connected solar power projects for capacity ranging from 1kW to 10 kW. Similarly, a tariff of Rs […]
India’s plans to promote domestic manufacturing have finally started gaining traction after years of slow progress. So far, domestic solar manufacturing capacity has failed to keep pace with the scale of deployments and thus India […]
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Guwahati are creating low-cost materials to manufacture energy-rich hydrogen from water using sunlight, paving the way for low-cost solar-powered hydrogen generators. The IIT-G researchers are working […]
Solar sector has showed great resilience and despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we witnessed another record breaking year with 139 GW installed solar capacity, bringing the global total to an estimated 760 GW, going by estimates […]
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 […]
Clenergy’s PV-ezRack has released its new Shield Series, which includes the PV-ezRack® SteelFarm as a showcase product. This is a solar fencing solution that is suitable for PV plants located in gardens and farms. Solar fences […]
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 […]
The year 2020 was a historic year in more than one way for India’s renewable energy journey. The year began with the Covid-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on the economy, disrupting supply chains and manpower availability, […]
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, India is expected to generate 0.5 million tonnes (mt) of solar photovoltaic (PV) waste by 2030. This figure may go up to 4.5-7.5 mt by 2050. This is […]
The Indian power sector has evolved greatly over the past decade with the influx of renewables in the form of mega projects and small distributed set-ups, and the emergence of the electric vehicle (EVs) market. […]
Unlike project development and execution, which take one to two years, a solar project’s operations and maintenance (O&M) phase continues for the entire 25-year life of the plant. Efficient O&M, thus, is critical for mitigating […]
