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
Sanjib Roy
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,
LLB, CS, Legal
Consultant for

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.

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

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.
