India’s Ambition in Solar PV Module Market

India is increasing in the clean energy power generation industry, and India holds the third position in the Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index in the global market. Given the global energy crisis, renewable energy is the most reliable source of power generation, and it consolidates optimum utilization of natural resources that benefits the environment and society.

The solar power generation market has high growth potential in India. The country aims to expand its power generation market and develop the most extensive clean energy program globally by 2022. With capacities, the solar sector is projected to contribute 100GW of power single-handedly. 

Current Challenges to PV Module Market

India's estimated power demand will be 817 GW by 2030. Out of which, clean energy will contribute to more than half of it and solar energy for approximately 280 GW solely. But it is necessary to concentrate on other aspects of the market. The solar market in India still encounters significant obstacles that need to be addressed.

1. High Prices:

The solar PV Module industry is capital intensive, limiting its benefits to urban and large-scale companies. Hence, it needs to be economically feasible, enabling access to remote areas and small-scale companies.

2. Research Areas:

It is mandatory to conduct thorough research while manufacturing the product. The products should undergo well-recognized laboratory and field tests before and after installation.

3. Modern Technology:

With many innovative technologies introduced in the market. The manufacturer must design their products that meet the current technological trends.

4. Expertise & Know-How:

The new entrant PV players don’t necessarily understand the Knitty-gritty as the Industry is at a nascent stage, so awareness of the overall process and functionality provides better confidence

Thereby, we initiated our Solar PV Technical Advisory services in collaboration with PI Berlin, a global leader in technical advisor services. The NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) has certified and standardized it in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 international standards as well as recognized by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards). It upgrades performance and provides quality and safety assurance of the PV module.

Survival through Sustainability

The environment becomes vulnerable when we overlook the paucity of our natural resources. The technological developments have indeed made it simple and viable to engage ecological resources that help reduce environmental load. Renewable sources of energy are an unparalleled means for electricity generation purposes. It does not emit any harmful gases that happen when burning fossil fuels.  With India holding the third position in renewable energy attractiveness, it gets important for businesses to provide considerable support and commitment.  

Thus, we have envisioned a sustainable future with our long-term business plan, VISION 2030. Through our sustainable energy-related businesses, we commit to finding solutions to the energy crisis. We contribute to the sustainable goals through our Rose Value^TM and Blue Value^TM standards. Our solar module advisory services assist customers and benefit the environment simultaneously.
