Single developers can bid for any quantity from 10 MW up to whole of the tendered capacity (1070 MW). The projects—to be set up on ‘build-own-operate’ basis—can be located anywhere in the State. August 31 is the deadline for bid submission.

This partnership with the government-backed infrastructure-specific investment fund will help NTPC raise capital as it aims for nearly 30 GW of overall power generation capacity from renewable energy sources by 2032.

India’s entire solar industry is dependent on Chinese imports to function. Hence, there is a comprehensive need to relook at the current policies and focus on building wafers and ingots capacity that will be used to manufacture the cells and eventually, modules.

August 26 is the last date to bid for engineering, procurement and construction work of 40 MW solar capacity, along with associated transmission line connectivity, in Ganjam district.

The containerised solution integrates grid connection and multiple charging systems, allowing public transport and commercial fleet operators to charge more electric vehicles with less infrastructure in depots.

Indian solar manufacturers have cried foul over a system which exempts imported panels from yet-to-be-announced tax regimes but offers no such protection to domestic products.

The seawater-based supercapacitor exhibited maximum capacitances at a current density of 1 ampere per gram. Besides, it can last 10,000 charge-discharge cycles with 99% of capacitance retention and 99% of Coulombic efficiency. 

With the latest robotic cleaning offering, the startup aims to capture the residential solar market that currently stands at a capacity of 4400 MW and is expected to reach 8500 MW by the end of 2020.

The solar lab—based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat—uses Xenon-based single-long-pulse flasher and steady-state simulator from Netherlands-based Eternalsun Spire to test all current and future PV modules.

The state is also reportedly set to this year unveil ‘Asia’s largest floating solar plant’, in the shape of the 150 MW Rihand Dam installation.
