India is rapidly increasing its renewable energy capacity, particularly solar and wind power, to meet its growing energy demands and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the grid presents challenges in terms of grid variability. Grid variability refers to the fluctuations in electricity Read more…
: “The success and sustainability of rooftop solar investments, as well as the achievement of national renewable energy targets, depend to a large extent on the performance of these systems which, in turn, depends upon the quality of the systems, their components, the workmanship during installation, operations and maintenance during Read more…
The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) recently released a Request for Selection (RfS) for the development of 2,000 MW of solar capacity through a competitive bidding process. The tender, which is the largest of its kind to be issued by SECI, is part of India’s ambitious plan to increase Read more…
India is taking a huge leap towards achieving its target of installing 40 GW of rooftop solar by 2022. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has been taking numerous initiatives to promote and encourage the adoption of rooftop solar in India. The present status of rooftop solar in Read more…
The global solar rooftop market has been growing at a rapid pace, and several countries have been successful in implementing policies that incentivize solar rooftop installations. One of the key factors that determine the success of these policies is the tariff settlement mechanism. In this article, we will discuss some Read more…
India has set ambitious targets to increase its solar power capacity to 450 GW by 2030. To achieve this, the country needs to develop a strong domestic supply chain in the solar PV market. This would not only reduce reliance on imported components, but also create jobs and boost the Read more…
Photovoltaic (PV) modules are made up of several components, including the encapsulant layer that surrounds the solar cells and protects them from the external environment. The most commonly used encapsulant material is ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), which is known for its low cost and ease of use. However, EVA has some Read more…
Solar energy is rapidly becoming an important source of electricity around the world, and advancements in solar cell technology are driving the industry forward.
