India has good solar potential with most parts receiving 4-7 kWh/sq. m/day of solar radiation. Large solar power projects have been proposed on 35,000 sq km of Thar Desert, sufficient to generate 700-2100 GW. Aggressive bids under JNNSM have produced grid-connected plants generating under 15 US cents per kWh. JNNSM aims to deploy 20 GW of solar power by 2022 through a 3 phase approach from 2010-2022. Various incentives are provided under JNNSM including tax breaks and duties. 25 solar parks of 500 MW capacity each are being developed in various states over 5 years.

2. Solar Resource Map of India
Most parts of India receive good
solar radiation 4- 7 kWh/sq. m/day.
In the solar energy sector, some
large projects have been proposed,
and a 35,000 km2 (14,000 sq mi)
area of the Thar Desert has been set
aside for solar power projects,
sufficient to generate 700 to 2,100
GW.
Aggressive bids under the
Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar
Mission (JNNSM) have produced
grid-connect megawatt (MW) sized
plants generating even less than 15
US cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh),
among the lowest in the world.

4. JAWAHAR LAL NEHRU NATIONAL SOLAR MISSION
Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) is one of the
major global initiatives in promotion of solar energy technologies,
announced by the Government of India under National Action Plan
on Climate Change.
It has set an ambitious target of deploying 20,000 MW of Grid-
connected Solar Power & 2000MW of off-grid Solar Power by the
year 2022.
Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) intends to raise its
targets under the National Solar Mission from 20 gigawatts (GW) to
100 GW by 2019.
It adopts a 3- Phase approach from 2010 to 2022.

7. SETTING UP OF SOLAR PARKS
Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) has initiated a
scheme for setting up of 25 Solar Parks, each with the capacity of
500 MW and above, to be developed in next 5 years in various
States.
Minister further stated that the estimated cost for development of
solar park would be around Rs.0.95 Cr./MW.
States which have sent written request for setting up Solar Power
Park/Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects are given below:

institution of Ministry of New & Renewable Energy. It facilitates
research, design, development, manufacture and deployment of
new and renewable energy systems/devices for transportation,
portable and stationary applications in rural, urban, industrial and
commercial sectors
Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA): It is a
Non-Banking Financial Institution under the administrative control
of this Ministry for providing term loans for renewable energy and
energy efficiency projects.

11. Roof top PV Potential in India
• According to 2011 Census India has:
– 330 million houses
– 166 million electrified houses
– 76 million houses use kerosene for lighting
– 1.08 million houses use solar for lighting
– 140 million houses with proper roof (Concrete or
Asbestos / metal sheet)
– 130 million houses having > 2 rooms
•Average houses can accommodate 1-3 kWp of
solar PV system
•Large commercial roofs can accommodate larger
capacities
•As a conservative estimate, about 25 GW
capacity can be accommodated on roofs of
buildings having > 2 rooms alone (considering
20% roofs are available/suitable)
12. Rooftop PV Programmes under
JNNSM

– Size: less than 100 kWp
– Implemented through MNRE Channel
Partners
– Generally in off grid mode
•Large scale rooftop PV scheme
– Size: 100 to 500 kWp grid-connected systems (without battery back up)
– Implemented through SECI through a process of competitive bidding
– 3 Phases announced; Phase I: 5.5 MW (4 cities); Phase II: 11.3 MW (6 cities);

14. INDIAN PV INDUSTRY
More than 90 companies, with installed capacity of over 1.8
GW make PV modules
20 companies manufacture solar cells (> 700 MW installed
capacity)
Manufacturing of various raw materials, components,
devices and systems is coming up/expanding (Poly silicon,
wafers, glass, EVA, back sheet, grid inverters, off-grid BoS,
structures etc.)
Production capacity of 3-5 GWp likely by 2020
15. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT IN PV
Focus on development of materials and devices with long-
term perspective
Outcome of the research should lead to (i) improvements in
the efficiencies, (ii) reduction in the material and energy
consumption during manufacturing, (iii) improving the
reliability, quality and life expectancy of system components
Applied Research on existing processes and developing new
technologies
Involve industry in research and technology validation of
materials, components and systems
International collaborations – institutional/industrial
17. CONCLUSION
Indian policies have created investment friendly market in the
country for entire range of activities announced under the
Mission.
India centric R&D and local manufacturing is necessary to reduce
the cost of achieving Solar Targets.
Partnerships necessary with global stakeholders
India to be a major global player in PV technology
