Rooftop Solar in India''s Energy Sector
For Prelims: India''s rooftop solar (RTS), India''s energy sector, photovoltaic panels Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW),
Several factors have powered the prominence of rooftop solar in India, including: Government Initiatives Support: The solar rooftop yojana programme has created policies and subsidies to support the adoption of solar. Sunlight abundance: India is high in solar insolation, making it a suitable place for installing solar rooftop energy systems.
Rooftop solar PV projects in India have gained significant momentum in recent years, driven by government policies, decreasing costs of solar technology, and increasing awareness about renewable energy.
As a case study, the implementation of roof top PV power generation in India is presented which faces a number of challenges including resistance from energy distribution companies (DISCOMs). The electricity tariff analysis is also carried out, to suggest corrective measures.
In India, rooftop solar projects are typically executed under different types of contracts, mainly categorized into two models: the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) model and the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) model. In the CAPEX model, the property owner purchases and owns the solar system by paying the entire cost upfront or through financing options.
The development of rooftop solar projects in India began with the introduction of rooftop solar targets in Gujarat in 2009. Gujarat was one of the first states in India to announce a solar policy and develop Gandhinagar (the capital city) as a 'solar city'.
The building integrated rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, contribute significantly to the decentralised power generation. In this study a detailed analysis of the new distributed power generation policy from roof top PV systems, in India, is carried out along with identifying policy interventions required for its successful implementation.
