In this Magazine, we will

be focusing on the scope

and status of the solar

power sector as well as

discuss the challenges for

Entrepreneurs. The solar

energy sector is one of

the fastest growing

industrial segments

worldwide. This naturally

makes many businesses and entrepreneurs

keen to enter this sector.

But once they start taking their first

steps into solar, they realise that things

are not as easy as they thought.

Is it a profitable sector, especially for small

and medium businesses and first generation

entrepreneurs?

Answer: If you choose this sector carefully,

the solar energy sector can provide you with

very good medium-long term returns.

Keep in mind two terms: Choosing the

sector with care, and a medium-long

term perspective.

Choose your sector with care:

If you are a small business person with small

capital, and support service expertise and with

a passion for sustainable energy business and

skills in marketing, chosen a sector in which

service and marketing skills play a significant

role. You can choose residential rooftop solar

segment and irrigation water pumping seg-

ment.

As a small business person, you would be bet-

ter off choosing the residential, industrial and

commercial rooftop solar segment as many of

the drivers (the economics as well as some

state government policies) are better aligned

for growth in this solar energy sector in near

future.

The Government of India‘s ambitious plan to

add 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022 is

supported by three prolonged approaches of

installing rooftop panels, building ultra-mega

solar parks and utility scale projects. The

envisioned 60% CAGR (Compound Annual

Growth Rate FY15-22) in solar capacity would

involve a huge investment as well as growth

opportunities. Of the proposed 100 GW

capacity, 40 GW is likely to be contributed by

rooftop solar plants, where small and medium

entrepreneurs can play a vital role.

A range of opportunities in solar are available –

across manufacturing, services and support

solutions – each with its own potential,

characteristics and constraints. While some

opportunities require significant capital

investments and thus might not be relevant to

all sizes of businesses, there are opportunities

that can be seized with small investments as

well.

There was a lack of awareness around

using advanced technology and installing

newer solar products. If you want to work

in this field, then you (entrepreneurs) should

know how the system works and how to

develop a technically as well as financially

effective system, thus you need best

training. Being a solar entrepreneur can mean

a lot of things.

―It is a vast field. One can become from a

manufacturer to an installer. The person can

be someone who wants to install a solar

manufacturing unit, or solar system or some-

one who is just selling solar products. But the

problem comes when you want to be a solar

installer. The installer has to buy products

from different companies and fix them in a

proper way as a solar plant in someone‘s

home to fulfil customer demand. A lot of

things can go wrong during the design &

installation. Which can return back you from

business market to home.‖

Scope, Status and Challenges for PV System Entrepreneurs

In reality, Solar Sector is both simple and

not so simple. It is simple when it comes to

the actual implementation of solar solutions,

because this aspect of the business opportu-

nity is mainly technology dependent. But in

the context of overall business models, driv-

ers, challenges and the various business seg-

ments present, the solar energy sector is as

intricate a sector as any large and diverse

business sector.

The biggest factor is to find right solar train-

ing programs that can provide quality of

training which match industry needs, new

entrepreneurs skill needs. From this point of

view, IST playing important role to fulfill their

needs through live hands-on practical training

at PAN India and internationally.

TALENT + TRAINING + TEAMWORK = STARTUPS ENTREPRENEURS SUCCESS WAY

Director, IST



In 2014, India‘s Prime Minister Narendra Modi

announced a goal to increase solar power

capacity to 100 Giga watts (GW) by 2022—five

times higher than the previous target. The 2022

target is extremely ambitious (the world‘s total

installed solar power capacity was 181 GW in

2014) and would make India a global leader in

renewable energy. Moreover, Piyush Goyal,

India‘s Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal and

New & Renewable Energy, recently said that

India aims to achieve its 100 GW solar target as

early as the end of 2017. India‘s total installed solar power capacity

stands at 5.8 GW, so the country will need to

significantly ramp up the pace of solar capacity

additions, from an average 4 GW per year to

15+ GW per year to meet the 2022 target.

Critics have been skeptical, citing hurdles like

poor transmission infrastructure and lack of

access to finance. Yet recent signs show that

the country is starting to make serious progress

on how it will achieve its lofty solar goals.

According to the targets, India will add 12 GW

of new solar power capacity this fiscal year, and

add 15 GW and 16 GW of new solar capacity in

FY2018 and FY2019, respectively. This will also

bring the country closer to the government‘s

commitment of providing 24-hour electricity to

all Indians by 2019.

Next Steps

Although India is on track to

achieve its annual solar

capacity addition target for this

financial year, the government

will need to do more in

subsequent years to ensure

that its targets are met. This is

important not only for its solar

commitment, but also for its

national energy and climate

change commitments–

installing 175 GW of total

renewable power capacity by

2022, and increasing the share

of non-fossil-based power

capacity from 30 percent

today to about 40 percent by

2030 (with the help of interna-

tional support). While the

Indian government has taken

positive steps to support

the supply of solar on the grid,

it should now also focus its

attention on the demand for

solar energy, by developing

solutions that provide the

private sector with access to

affordable solar. These

solutions must support

distributed and off-grid

generation systems, as well as

the adoption of storage

technologies—both of which are

necessary to reach India‘s

ambitious solar goals.

Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship and innovation are critical for the growth of any economy, in

an increasingly competitive world. The secret behind developing economy to a

developed economy is nothing but entrepreneurship and innovation.

Entrepreneurship become even more critical for India as its demographic

dividend can only be realized with rapid creation of employment and income

generation opportunities. Global experience shows that, apart from creating

wealth and boosting the economy, new businesses also create disproportion-

ately more jobs than established ones.

Israel has very little natural resources but is considered a part of the devel-

oped world, driven by the strength of its entrepreneurs. Historically, India was

considered an innovation driven country, at the forefront of trade, mathemat-

ics, astronomy and philosophy. Not surprisingly we accounted for almost 25 %

of world GDP barely 300 odd years ago, arguably the largest in the world.

Colonization and missing the Industrial Revolution brought us down to 2% of

global GDP by 1947. By the beginning of 1990‘s, with virtual bankruptcy facing the country, India‘s

share of world GDP was down to 0.2.

One of the important factors for this down side growth story of Indian economy was the

environment Prior to 1991, when entrepreneurship was very quiet in India. Success in Indian

business organizations was largely reliant on understanding of the bureaucratic system, and

utilizing licenses, ambition, and government contacts etc. Many decisions were based on social

connections and prior relationships, rather than the actual business function itself. There were

fewer success stories about Indian startups making it big, and capital was limited for these types of

business empire.

In 1991, the Indian government liberalized the economy, thus significantly transforming the

competitive landscape. Family businesses, which earlier dominated Indian markets, faced

competition from multinationals that had greater technology, more financial freedom and

managerial talent pool. Globalization brought countries together and created entire world market.

The world next moved into a ‗Technology Era‘. Technological revolution led to progress in all fields

and all societies and connected even the places that were isolated. Indian businesses too had to

change their focus and re-orient their outlook outward. However, progress and complexities go

hand in hand. One of the major challenges faced by most of the countries in the world today is to

do with unemployment. The unemployment rate is growing at an alarming speed and India is not

an exception. Today, a lower grade employee in a government organization is paid much better

than one who is MBA/ MSC/ MA/ B.Tech etc. Unemployment is pushing our highly qualified

graduates‘ steps back and they feel de-motivated and sometimes they are involved in unlawful

activities.

In some of the countries entrepreneurship is being recognized as a promising treatment and is

being actively promoted by Govt., Society and various agencies. Entrepreneurship in any society is

a sign of progress. If endorsed enthusiastically, entrepreneurship can help sustain growing

economies; integrate unemployed individuals into the workforce besides leading to overall devel-

opment of society. Entrepreneurship development is one of the most powerful weapons to create a

positive and long-lasting change in our society. In India, good knowledge is not disseminated about

what entrepreneurship is, how we can develop entrepreneurship, and how we can start and run

successful companies towards a better and self-reliant society. Besides, society at large is not

aware about the merits of being a good entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is what entrepreneurs do

and Entrepreneurs are those who take initiatives and possess never say die approach in achieving

their business objectives. Entrepreneurship comes in many different forms. Being an entrepreneur

is not necessarily just about launching and running a business, it is about developing the entrepre-

neurial mindset, which is useful to anyone who is part of an organization.

Mr. Dev Prakash

IST Legal Advisor,

It is the mindset of looking at problems as opportunities and utilizing resources effectively and

efficiently. This mindset encourages risk-taking, creativity, innovation, and unconventional thinking.

Whatever the nature and height of problem, entrepreneurs will find a way towards better solutions

even if they are short of resources.

Good Entrepreneurs are found anywhere irrespective of gender, culture, age, nature and size

of business, education etc. The United States and China are leading with the number of billionaires

on earth and those are mostly concerned with the big business empires. The Information

Technology concerned businesses in United States has been the inspiring force for youth

entrepreneurship and created billionaires in Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs to Google‘s Sergy

Brin and Larry Page to Face Book Cofounder, Mark Zuckerberg and many more. There are similar

such stories in other countries too covering different domains of business. India is also home to

ever increasing number of inspirational entrepreneurs. Inspiring stories in India like Dhiru Bai

Ambani, Karsanbhai Patel, Azim Premji, Narayan Murthy etc. have been bedrock for many to

develop belief and start business on right path. However, the need of the day is to create many

more rising business stars and make available the opportunities for society especially youth to

dream big and try their hands at entrepreneurship. Building an environment that significantly

promotes entrepreneurship calls for effective strategy implementation and involvement at all

levels including Government, industry, political, social as well as educational sectors. The policies at

all levels need to encourage and provide opportunities as well as assistance and environment to give

impetus to entrepreneurship. Policy regulations will need to engage the business, banking,

educational and other sectors to be able to deliver improved and definitive steps to encouraging

and aiding entrepreneurship.

Industry as a social responsibility can create a very strong platform to help develop the youth

and give them the support and guidance as well as opportunities. In schools, colleges and universi-

ties, there is little or no focus on developing leadership skills in students, promoting awareness and

giving them training for entrepreneurship. Through proper linkages with the industry they should

not only design the course but also increase more practical trainings to build the business confi-

dence. Top educational institutions as IIM‘s, IIT‘s and Universities like ITM University Gwalior etc.

have been successful with their incubation centers which have led to the significant development of

entrepreneurs. Colleges and universities must start such incubation centers which will facilitate en-

trepreneurs from idea generation to execution with required support. Graduates in order to

develop right entrepreneurial spirit need to be more efficient, practical, and productive. The

students need to develop spirit and self-belief. We are all inherently creative. The only time when

we are not is when we allow our natural abilities to be clouded. Other biggest limitation faced by

each and every promising entrepreneur is the lack of financial and funding support as well as guid-

ance required to incubate new business. Banking and financial assistance should be made avail-

able easily and this can happen only with the active support and engagement by the Government.

The societal environment too needs to be supportive, more practical and entrepreneurial. In Kash-

mir, the social and cultural outlook of the society discourages initiatives and entrepreneurship.

Mostly society expects the youth to obtain education that enables them to get a job and earn sal-

ary to support the family. Society must accept that instead of finding a job, a graduate, Engineer

or an MBA etc. can use skill set to open up his/her venture, which will not only result in mental sat-

isfaction but also reward in terms of better economic gains. They would not only be able to contrib-

ute economically but also lead to vital job creation, which will enhance the inclusive growth and de-

velopment of society at large. Growing and developing the next generation of entrepreneurs is vital

for our survival and prosperity. In order to solve a long list of social problems that we face, we need

to support those who will solve these problems. That is why entrepreneurial development can be-

come a greater strength for our society.

However, economic liberalization initiated in 1991 appears to have revived the old DNA.

Business and industry rebounded. The stagnant and sluggish early single digit rate of growth

zoomed to almost double digits. The last two decades have given us a glimpse of what entrepre-

neurship can do for the country. In barely 20 years, the Indian IT services industry, driven by first

generation, middle class entrepreneurs, has grown from its early stages to around Rs 4.5 lakh

crore ($88 billion), creating 117 lakh (11.7 million) jobs- 28 lakh (2.8 million) directly and addi-

tional 89 lakh (8.9 million) indirectly, and accounting 25% of our exports, and 7.5% of our GDP10.



An Interview with Mr. Surya Jeedigunta Adviser of IST, Head of Business Development at SNJ SOLAR Energy Solutions LLP

Experience in developing solar market, Mega Watt Project Planning & Project Implementation.

Coordinating with Renewable Energy Departments MNRE , IREDA . SOLAR Energy Centre , State

Nodal Agencies, international agencies.

An engineering graduate who is willing to enter into the solar energy

field as a startup entrepreneur, what kind of advice you would likely to

give him?

I would start by saying, don‘t look at the energy sector limited to power gen-

eration. We are entering into age where information is the new currency in En-

ergy.

Smart Grids, Energy storage, EV‘s, data analytics are going to change the Power

Landscape completely. This is a good time to enter and if you want to make a

dent in these areas. To succeed, it is important to study the market thoroughly,

build solutions that solve problems. Create your own niche area that you are in-

terested and enjoy building your venture.

Most of the startup entrepreneurs are the system integrators, What

type of business model would be best for them?

Most of the start-ups in the solar space are in the area of system integrator as it

is less capital intensive and easy to start. But gaining traction and scaling up is

difficult in this space as initial capital costs are high for solar systems even

though operation costs are minimum. This led to some innovative financial mod-

els such as RESCO and Lease model where the customer doesn‘t pay for the sys-

tem and only pays for the power that is consumed.

What is your outlook for the Indian solar market at the central level,

state level, RPO and off grid markets till 2017 and beyond?

While the outlook for solar is positive, given the strong support from the gov-

ernment and robust projects in the pipeline there are also significant bottlenecks

such as high interest rates, and debt ridden DISCOMs unable to go for fresh

PPA and float new tenders. To address this issue the govt. has come up with

UDAY scheme to clean up the balance sheets of these DISCOMs and improve

their credit rating.

A RPO target of 10% by 2022 is intune with the Govt. goal but it is the DIS-

COM‘s that needs to honor their commitment.

The Off grid segment started looking attractive as the grid connected MW scale

segment beginning to feel the strain of low PPA. Cell towers, Mini grids and

Street lights are the segments to watch out for.

At the end, IST is highly obliged to Mr. Surya who out of his busy schedule managed the time to

provide us the valuable insight which actually inspire our newcomers entrepreneurs.

We hope Mr. Surya will keep guiding us in future as well.

Thanking You,

SOLAR PV SECTOR

JOB OPPERTUNITIES

A multitude of skilled workers across the solar project value chain are needed to

achieve India‘s targeted 100 GW of solar by 2022. New CEEW and NRDC analysis

of the jobs created in the solar PV sector along with the related skills required in

every phase of a solar project, estimates that India would need nearly 210,800

skilled plant design and site engineers and approximately 624,600 semi

and low skilled Technicians for construction, most of whom would be needed

to achieve the targeted 40 GW rooftop solar capacity addition. As many as 81,000

highly skilled workers would be needed by 2022 to carry out annual and

ongoing performance data monitoring of solar projects totalling 100 GW. An

additional 182,400 workers would be needed by 2022 to carry out low-skill

operation and maintenance functions for the numerous solar rooftop and

utility scale projects.

While most survey respondents agreed on the essential role of site engineers and

project managers, several respondents also highlighted the key role played by

unskilled or semi-skilled personnel, such as installers, security personnel,

administrative support staff, construction labor and drivers.

According to the present employment opportunities and the employer en-

quiries for recruitment, generally it has been observed that an employer

wants a full sound technological and management skills to run company

for its well establishment. As per recent employment notice, employers

require the following skills:

Net Metering Scope & Challenges

A Way to Secure Power for Future. !!!!!!!

Net metering concept promises an environment

friendly and power efficient electricity evaluation

system. It provides an easy option to produce

electricity from renewable and also to get

connected to the grid at the same time.

In India the allotted

transformer capacity for

grid-connected solar power

plants is between 15 per

cent and 30 per cent. Ma-

harashtra as an exception

has 40 per cent allotted

transformer capacity for

solar. The payback period largely depends on

the tariff of the particular state. The higher the

grid tariff, the lower is payback period.

Also, the question is about how much of your

consumption can be offset using solar and how

much you are allowed to install. So if you have

been thinking that you will install only solar and

not consume from the grid at all, that is depend-

ent on your state‘s regulations. The allotted

transformer capacity is filled on a first-come first

-serve basis. So if you are looking to benefit

from rooftop solar for reducing your bill, you

might want to consider doing this soon. Once

the allotted transformer capacity is saturated,

you may not be able to connect your system to

the grid for a while.

There are two main reasons for the disappoint-

ing adoption of net-metering by the consumers:

the tariff structure (a policy matter) and grid-

reliability (a technical concern). The key require-

ments for any energy source to connect to the

grid is the availability of ―anti-islanding protec-

tion‖. Anti-islanding protection is a way for the

inverter to shut itself off and stop feeding power

into the grid, when it senses a problem with the

power grid, such as a power outage. Both issues

are relevant for the residential, commercial and

industrial segments.

In India netmetering can have a great future.

But since the mechanism is new, we are hitting

and identifying the hurdles that are operational,

financial and regulatory related. While some

countries have provisions of monetary payment

for energy fed into the grid, the same cannot be

implemented across India. The reason being

electricity is a concurrent subject between cen-

tral and state governments and so we have

variation in policies from state to state. But the

most important reason is that the financial con-

dition of distribution companies of India is very

fragile. A few states are exceptions where these

companies are doing really well. Some of them

pay for energy fed at Average Power Purchase

Cost (APPC) rather than the retail tariff.

This makes sense as rooftop net-metering sys-

tems are connected with distribution systems,

which eliminates transmission costs and losses.

Distribution losses are also reduced and so does

the APPC of DISCOMS. While utility scale solar

projects are competing really well against utili-

ties, the rooftop segment has been lagging.



What becomes of the latter depends on what

actions are taken to address the issues in the

present.

Net Metering Impact Customer Bills:

Customer electric bills are based on the electric

utility‘s cost of providing electric service. In gen-

eral, every electric customer has an electric me-

ter that records the amount of power delivered

by their electric utility. The meter records en-

ergy use in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Net-metered

customers generally are credited for the electric-

ity they sell to the grid, with their electric meter

essentially spinning backwards to provide a

credit against the electricity that these custom-

ers must buy from their electric utility at night

or during other periods when their electricity use

exceeds their system‘s output. Customers are

only billed for their ―net‖ energy use. That

means that when rooftop solar or other DG cus-

tomers generate electricity, they avoid paying

for the utility‘s power, which is fair because they

did not use it. But, they also avoid paying for all

of the fixed costs of the grid that delivers power

when they need it and/or takes the excess

power they sell back to the utility.

Hurdles To Overcome For Net Metering:

Roof top is more expensive than large grid

connected power.

Consumer pay for electricity depending on

the usage. Even the highest tariff slabs do

not cost as much as small scale PV genera-

tion.

Improper net metering infrastructure.

Not enough net metering manufacturers.

No performance Guarantee.

Unskilled man power for fixing and mainte-

nance.

Grid compatibility.

Lack of proper monitoring may occur.

Many paper work issues.

Taking money from the govt has always

been a problem (if we provide excess power

to the grid).

Implementation of this facility will be as per

the following guidelines:

Under this facility, consumer will generate

solar power for self consumption and feed

excess power into the grid.

Net metering is the concept which records

net energy between export of generated en-

ergy and import of DISCOM energy for a

billing month. Alternatively, the meter, hav-

ing the feature of recording both the import

and export values, besides other parame-

ters notified by CEA metering regulations

and APTRANSCO /DISCOM procedures in

vogue, shall also be allowed for arriving net

energy for the billing period.

The net metering facility shall be allowed

only for 3 Phase service consumers. Single

Phase consumers are not eligible for net

metering to avoid imbalance in the phases.

The SPV generator shall pay for the net en-

ergy in a billing month as per applicable re-

tail supply tariff decided by regulatory com-

mission to the concerned DISCOM, if the

supplied energy by the licensee is more

than the injected energy by the solar PV

sources of the consumer(s). Any excess/

surplus energy injected in to the grid in a

billing month will be treated as inadvertent

and no payment will be paid for such en-

ergy.

The SPV generator is required to provide an

appropriate protection system on their in-

coming side/ consumer premises with the

feature of ―Islanding the SPV generator‖

when grid fails.

The SPV generator shall bear the entire cost

of metering arrangement provided including

its accessories. The installation of meters

including CTs & PTs, wherever applicable,

shall be carried out as per the departmental

procedures in vogue with prior permission of

DISCOMs.

The Solar PV panels proposed to be installed

shall meet the requirements of Indian as

well as IEC standards.

One can avail any prevalent subsidy offered

by Government of India in this regard.

Thus consumers are seeking better incentives

and a resolution of technical obstacles before

they invest in residential solar PV systems. Pol-

icy makers, meanwhile, are coming up with

multiple mechanisms to incentivize net-

metering adoption from both sides to help dis-

tribution companies to improve their financial

health and to enable a reliable energy supply.

Thus Net-Metering policy has to be imple-

mented systematically and this concept has to

get reach to every consumer whatsoever the

capacity of plant is.

Solar Energy Applications

for Agriculture in India

E stimates for total number of farmers in

India, for 2011, accordingly range

from 95.8 million (8%) to 263

million (22%) to 450

million (38%), out of a total

population of over 1.2 billion.

Others estimate the total number

of farmers in India to be about

600 million (50% of total

population). India should stop

doing all other solar and just focus

on giving farmers a solution for

their needs. Solar power technology

would be a reasonable choice for agricultural

tools. Solar Photovoltaic cells (SPV) directly

convert the light energy from the sun into

electricity. Concentrated solar power (CSP)

systems use an indirect method for the con-

version process. Solar farming uses power

generated from solar energy to operate agri-

cultural or farming tools. It is simple, cost ef-

fective, reliable and long lasting. Most com-

mon agricultural tools such as tractors, water-

ing systems, rotator, roller, planter, sprayers,

broadcast seeder etc. work on battery power

and fuel oil. In solar farming, the battery

power is replaced with solar power, so that the

usage of electricity from grid power and non-

renewable sources can be reduced.

Solar Water Pumping System A solar photovoltaic (SPV) water pumping sys-

tem consists of solar panels, an on-off

switch, a control & tracking mechanism, and a

motor pump. This system essentially uses SPV

cells for converting solar energy into electric

current. A SPV cell array capacity can range

around 200 watts to 5KWp (kilowatt peak)

based on the needs of different water sources

such as bore wells, open wells, reservoirs,

streams, etc.

Solar Dryer Solar dehydrators or dryers are used in farms

to dry crops before sending them to

the market. The crops are dried

when hot air is circulated through

the shed by natural convection

or using a fan. This type of

dryers have components such

as solar air heaters, an electric

blower, connecting ducts, a drying

chamber and control systems for air

temperature and flow rate. These dryers

are used to dehydrate high value products.

Solar Greenhouse Solar Greenhouses make optimum use of solar

energy for provi-

ding heating and

insulation.

Specialized solar

greenhouses can

collect and store

energy for night-

time use or

during cloudy weather. SPV cells can be used to

collect solar energy for additional insulation in

colder climates. In warmer climates, solar

greenhouses can be used to create a cooler

zone required for certain crops. Cooling pumps

can be powered by SPV cells placed either on

top or along the sides of the greenhouse. Solar

energy can be used for ventilation systems by

solar powered exhaust fan.

Solar Electric Fence Solar powered electric fences are highly effec-

tive and dependable for large fields and cattle

farms.

So solar farming is not only environmentally

friendly, but also reliable and cost effective. The

time has come to switch to solar power on In-

dian farms!

” Researchers working in Iceland say they have discovered a new way to trap the greenhouse gas carbon

dioxide (CO2) deep underground: by changing it into rock. The technique has to clear some high hurdles to

become commercially viable. But scientists say the project, dubbed Carb Fix, offers a ray of hope for

beleaguered efforts to fight climate change by capturing and storing CO2 from power plants. “This is a great

step forward,” says Sally Benson of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, a geologist unaffiliated with

the project.

Dozens of pilot projects around the world have sought to test carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a way of

curbing CO2 emissions from power plants. Very few have been scaled up, owing to prohibitive costs, estimated

at $50 to $100 per ton of CO2 sequestered.”

So What about you............?

To save Environment you don’t want to be a scientist. Just put a solar panel in your Roof top. Every kW of

solar PV installed on the rooftop of your house can help to avoid annual CO2 emissions of > 500kg.

Opportunity for Building Owners

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today gave its approval for

stepping up of India's solar power capacity target under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission

(JNNSM) by five times, reaching 1,00,000 MW by 2022. The target will principally comprise of 40 GW

Rooftop and 60 GW through Large and Medium Scale Grid Connected Solar Power Projects. With this

ambitious target, India will become one of the largest Green Energy producers in the world.

But, Consumer awareness about the RTPV and its market acceptance is the most significant challenge

in promoting solar energy, which is having a social bias. In a developing country affordability in

residential sector is much lower than in an advanced country, where 60 - 70% use of RTPV is growing

in residential sector.

The newly set target of 40 GW Solar Rooftop PV (SRPV) deployments by 2022 will change the position

of India on the map of solar powered nations across the world. The country has around 337 million

houses as per the census 2011. A 1 kW system per house could add up to 337 GW of installed

capacity; commercial and industrial rooftop space being additional avenue for generation which

signifies that the 40 GW target is very much achievable and not over ambitious. A large potential is

available for generating solar power using unutilized space on rooftops in buildings and huts.
