Installations

Oswal Pumps has announced that its subsidiary, Oswal Solar Energy, has secured an order to install 7.46 MWp of grid-connected rooftop solar systems for 3,729 consumers under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

Bondada Engineering Ltd has commissioned 61.7 MWp of solar projects for clients including Paradigm IT and Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Ltd (MAHAGENCO) in March.

India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) said the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s decision to treat commissioning delays arising from the Supreme Court’s ongoing proceedings in the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) matter as a force majeure‑like event provides material relief to developers of approximately 8.6 GW of renewable capacity.

India installed around 37.8 GW of solar capacity in CY2025. This comprised about 28.6 GW of new utility-scale solar, a 54.6% increase from 2024, and 7.9 GW of rooftop solar, up 72% year on year. Off-grid additions stood at 1.35 GW, compared to 1.48 GW in 2024.

Swedish researchers developed two novel single-axis solar tracking strategies that dynamically adjust panel tilt based on crop light requirements, balancing photosynthesis and energy production. One strategy prioritizes daily light integral targets before shifting to energy capture, while the other uses the light-response curve to optimize photosynthesis, offering improved dual-use efficiency compared with conventional tracking methods.

Residential consumers accounted for 76% of rooftop solar capacity additions in 2025, driven by the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana program.

SolarPower Europe has released new technical due diligence guidelines for utility-scale solar-plus-storage projects, covering risk, engineering and lifecycle standards for co-located PV and battery systems.

The next phase of green growth will depend on how quickly capital reaches businesses that are ready to modernize, become energy-efficient, and invest in cleaner production systems. The question is no longer whether sustainable lending will grow, it is how fast we can remove the barriers preventing it from scaling.

IEEFA states that bridging the INR 10.3 lakh crore investment gap over the next five years will require moving beyond traditional subsidy-led approaches toward structural risk-sharing mechanisms that lower the cost of credit and attract private capital in the electric mobility sector.

Rooftop solar is moving from being a supplementary solution to becoming a central component of India’s energy architecture. The next phase of growth will not be defined by panel installations alone but by how effectively generation is integrated with storage, digital intelligence, and grid infrastructure.
