A new report analyzes the current status of banking provisions across solar and wind energy rich states in India, along with the implications of these restrictive provisions upon the renewables sector.

The 13.5 MW solar project, located in the Osmanabad district, will supply solar power to Orient Cement for its manufacturing plant in Maharashtra under a long-term power purchase agreement.

An international research team has examined combining solar power generation with energy-intensive hydroponic horticulture and has found that this may be a viable solution depending on project size and available incentive policies. Their approach considered various factors impacting PV system efficiency, including environmental factors, the type of solar array, and the electricity demand from the hydroponic farm.

The industrial gas producer will set up special-purpose vehicles in joint ventures with developers to source renewable energy for self-consumption. 

Conceived by French solar company Mecojit, the solar carport solution can be deployed without excavation work and can be coupled with EV recharging stations.

Incorporating solar into our built environments represents an opportunity for hundreds of gigawatts to be installed worldwide without taking up any additional land. In many cases though, this will require solutions beyond typical rooftop PV installations and much closer cooperation between the PV and construction industries. A new report published by IEA PVPS looks to bring together the interests of both worlds, and clearly categorize both the building envelope and energy functions of different BIPV components.

Rajasthan (8,644 MW), Karnataka (7,483 MW), and Gujarat (6,052 MW) lead in solar installations.

With 7.4 GW of new solar already installed in the first nine months, the year 2021 is headed to become one of the best years on record for new solar installation in India.

The Paris-based body expects the world will have installed almost 160 GW of solar this year, a record number, but still not enough to keep the prospect of a net zero global economy by mid century in sight.

The Coal India arm has selected a Chennai-based firm to build the ‘captive mode’ solar PV project in Odisha. It shall utilize the energy produced through long-term open access.
