Following India’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Indian government announced the National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC) in 2008. A key part of this […]
India has committed to an ambitious target of developing 175 GW of renewable electricity capacity by 2022, of which it had already installed 90.39 GW by November 2020. Currently, environmentally conscious governments have instituted policies […]
Solar module mounting structures and tracking solutions make the foundation of solar power plants. These are crucial across all types of solar projects as they determine how firmly the system is set up and how […]
The Indian electricity sector is expected to undergo a major transition with respect to its energy mix over the next decade. As per Central Electricity Authority (CEA) estimates, the share of renewable generation is likely […]
Historically, India has been largely dependent on imported solar modules. However, the Indian solar industry suffered from significant supply chain issues owing to the Covid-induced lockdown. This has highlighted the need for a domestic manufacturing […]
As India continues to tap into its massive solar potential in order to reduce its carbon emissions, it has become clear that the country needs a lot more than solar panels and modules. In addition […]
The Covid-19 pandemic, which ravaged global economies through most of 2020, created many challenges for India’s economic health as well. Lockdowns and the shutting down of industries and transportation delayed project development, caused supply shortages […]
Fossil fuels, including oil and gas, have been responsible for much of the economic development over the past decades. However, the oil sector has frequently experienced instability in prices, has limited stock and is often […]
By Sanjeev Aggarwal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Amplus Solar The previous year was challenging for everyone across the globe, and the solar industry was no exception. The pandemic and lockdown at the start of […]
The balance of system (BoS) plays a key role in the efficient operation of a solar power project. Mounting structures and trackers are the main components of BoS, responsible for the overall functioning of a […]
Maharashtra, with a cumulative renewable energy capacity of 9,871.64 MW, houses about 14 per cent of the country’s total green energy capacity. Renewable energy contributes about 22.5 per cent of the state’s power mix. Maharashtra […]
With a rich solar potential, India has been exploring avenues to tap this resource and build a robust solar power market. This market is divided into two broad segments: large utility-scale projects and smaller rooftop […]
The European Commission (EC) has been making a concerted effort to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. In line with this, it has adopted a proposal to revise the European Union (EU) rules […]
The power capital of the country, Delhi is spread across a small area of just about 1,484 square km. A large part of this area is urban and densely populated, has a massive energy demand […]
In order to fully utilise the potential of solar energy, the absorption and reflection of sunlight is crucial. Solar glasses and mirrors are thus some of the most important components of a solar system. They are […]
Decentralised solar power plants can be a viable and attractive proposition for discoms, believes Rajat Sud, managing director, Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). The company has installed 77 MW of decentralised solar capacity till date […]
In 2020, Virginia became the seventh US state to set energy storage procurement goals for utilities. This was achieved with the passage of the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) by the General Assembly. The act […]
Solar photovoltaic (PV) glass is among the most critical components of solar power plants, as the glass and its backsheets act as the first point of contact with solar irradiation. The glass sheet protects solar […]
