Residential PV

A new study by government thinktank NITI Aayog provides state-wise renewable energy potential that can be harnessed by states to meet their renewable purchase obligations, RE capacity that needs to be procured by the deficit states from other RE-rich states, and storage requirement to meet the required grid balancing. The study was carried out with the support of the Central Electricity Authority and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

Analysts at a recent event in Dhaka called for the removal of high import duties on solar products in Bangladesh, as it could reduce PV system prices by up to 11%.

The road to net-zero emissions in India doesn’t require herculean efforts. We can get there by wholeheartedly adopting renewables, investing in innovation and technology, and promoting public-private partnerships to build a better, cleaner, and more sustainable India for generations to come.

A compact, “motionless” wind turbine with a magnetic generator designed for large commercial rooftops provides 5 kW of capacity per unit. Aeromine Technologies secured Series A funding for scaling its innovative design.

JMK Research projects 21.2 GW of new solar capacity addition in FY 2025. This will comprise 16.5 GW of utility-scale, 4 GW rooftop, and 700 MW off-grid installations.

Conceived by a Dutch research group, the proposed system is intended to store surplus renewable electricity via hydrogen generation and battery storage, with the latter being used only when hydrogen generation is not immediately available. Despite its high initial costs, the system can reportedly offer stable operation.

BloombergNEF says in a new report that solar and wind must drive most emissions cuts before 2030 to stay on track for net-zero by 2050. Its net-zero scenario targets a combined solar and wind capacity of 31 TW by 2050.

Daewoo’s new hybrid inverters feature LiFePO4 batteries. They are available in six variants, with power ratings ranging from 0.5 kVA to 10 kVA.

GP Eco Solar will use the funds raised through the initial public offering (IPO) on NSE Emerge to fuel its growth in the solar sector. It will allocate around INR 12.45 crore for working capital and expansion, and invest INR 7.6 crore in subsidiary Invergy India for a new solar inverter assembly facility in Noida.

India Ratings and Research expects India to maintain pace of renewables capacity addition owing to a significant drop in equipment prices, continued policy support, availability of liquidity, and investment plans of some of the large corporate players.
