Installations

BluPine Energy has acquired Acme Group’s 369 MW of solar power assets in Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Karnataka.

SJVN Green Energy Ltd will develop a 200 MW PV plant at Khavda Solar Park in Gujarat to supply power under a 25-year power purchase agreement with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate today NHPC’s 380 MW solar project in Rajasthan and SJVN’s 200 MW of PV projects in Uttar Pradesh. He will also lay the foundation of Bundelkhand Saur Urja Ltd’s 1.2 GW Jalaun Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Park and TUSCO’s 600 MW Lalitpur solar power project in Uttar Pradesh

Wood Mackenzie says the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) in the Asia-Pacific region hit an all-time low in 2023, as utility-scale PV beat coal to become the cheapest power source. It predicts a further drop in costs for new-build solar projects, driven by falling module prices and oversupply from China.

Austrian manufacturer Aerocompact has developed the SN2 Q PLUS solar mounting system, which can support PV modules measuring up to 1,310 mm x 2,500 mm. It has an installation angle of between 5 degrees and 10 degrees.

The 360 MW DC solar plant, connected to the inter-state transmission system, will supply power to commercial and industrial customers nationwide.

Jakson Green will develop a utility-scale solar project for power supply to Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) under a 25-year power purchase agreement. The power procured by SECI has been provisioned to be sold to different discom entities in India.

The residential rooftop solar scheme provides a central financial assistance (CFA) of 60% of the system cost for 2 kW systems and 40% of the additional system cost for systems between 2 to 3 kW capacity. The CFA will be capped at 3 kW. At current benchmark prices, this will mean INR 30,000 subsidy for 1 kW system, INR 60,000 for 2 kW systems, and INR 78,000 for 3 kW systems or higher.

Perovskite technology, with its potential for large-scale deployment and local production, presents a compelling pathway towards a more secure and sustainable energy future.

The Indonesian government has ended net metering for rooftop solar installations. The Jakarta-based Institute for Essential Services Reform says this could make it harder for the country to meet its solar deployment targets, as PV installations will become more expensive for households and small businesses.
