Information @ a Glance
-
India receives abundant solar radiation equivalent
to over 5,000 trillion kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. The government has
had a PV program in place for over two decades, yet the current
installed capacity is just 3 MW, only a small proportion of the overall
energy mix.
-
PV systems are promoted primarily for rural and off-grid
applications, consisting mainly of mini-grids, solar home systems, solar
lanterns, and solar street lights. The overall solar water heater
potential in India is estimated to be 140 million m2 of collector area,
of which about 1.9 million m2 have been installed in buildings and in
industry.
-
India has manufacturing facilities for equipment and
components used in solar PV systems, though there is a need for
megawatt-scale PV power-generating systems.
-
A number of solar thermal
applications have also been developed in India, which include water/air
heating, cooking, drying of agricultural and food products, water
purification, detoxification of
wastes, cooling and refrigeration, heat for industrial processes, and
electric power generation.
-
Most of the solar thermal devices and systems
are manufactured in India.
-
Investment opportunities are available for corporate
users of power, long-term investors in power, promoters of clean power,
and trading credits for emission reductions.
-
Private-sector companies can set up
enterprises to operate as licensee or generating companies.
-
A foreign investor can enter into a joint venture not
only for renewable energy devices/products but also for manufacturing
renewable-energy-based power generation projects on a build, own, and
operate basis
