India’s solar manufacturing industry could generate 32 lakh jobs and attract $89 billion in investments by 2047: ISMA
ISMA’s Vision 2047 pathway projects India’s installed solar power capacity to reach 2,275 GW by 2047, against 1,370 GW under the current-policy scenario. It also envisages a fully integrated domestic manufacturing ecosystem, with capacities of 3,484 GW in modules, 3,128 GW in cells, 2,630 GW in ingots and wafers, and 2,200 GW-equivalent in polysilicon.

What 11 islands reveal about the real bottleneck in renewable mini-grids
An IEA-PVPS report examining 11 islands finds that achieving nearly 100% renewable electricity depends as much on strong leadership, community engagement, financing and early planning as on technology. While proven technical solutions vary widely, successful transitions require tailored grid design and sustained institutional support, making replication especially challenging for smaller, remote and lower-income islands.

Why solar system design will matter as much as solar capacity
A rooftop solar system that is well sized, well oriented, clear of shadow, placed on a sound roof and fitted with panels suited to the heat will serve its owner better than one that is large on paper alone. That is why design will matter as much as capacity in the years ahead.
