11. Why solar national master plan introduced
in India
 The National Solar Mission is a major initiative of the
Government of India and State Governments to
promote ecologically sustainable growth while
addressing India’s energy security challenge. It will
also constitute a major contribution by India to the
global effort to meet the challenges of climate change
 The objective of the National Solar Mission is to
establish India as a global leader in solar energy, by
creating the policy conditions for its diffusion across
the country as quickly as possible (JNNSM)

12. How to disseminate PV system
 Legal framework
 Incentive mechanisms
 Responsible Organization
 Low interest rate loans, priority sector lending
 Human Resourse development :The rapid and large-scale
diffusion of Solar Energy will require a concomitant
increase in technically qualified manpower of international
standard. Some capacity already exists in the
country, though precise numbers need to be established.
However, it is envisaged that at the end of Mission
period, Solar industry will employ at least 100,000 trained
and specialized personnel across the skill spectrum. These
will include engineering management and R&D functions.

13. Electricity Tariff by category
 Residendial US $ .073 and fixed charges US$ .32/Month
 Industrial US $ .12 and fixed charges US$ 0.81/KW/Month
 Commercial US $ 0.11 and fixed charges US$
0.81/KW/Month
 Household electrification ratio National Average-67.2%
Average in Urban-95%
Average in rural is 44%

14. Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission
 This Mission will be implemented by an autonomous
Solar Energy Authority and or an autonomous and
enabled Solar Mission, embedded within the existing
structure of the Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy. The Authority/Mission secretariat will be
responsible for monitoring technology
developments, review and adjust incentives, manage
funding requirements and execute pilot projects. The
Mission will report to the Prime Minister’s Council on
Climate Change on the status of it’s programme.

15. JNNSM Strategy
Graduated deployment to nucleate critical mass till costs come
down and thereafter rapid scale up
 Consultative process to finalize the guidelines
 Enabling policy and regulatory frame work
 Supporting Utility scale power generation
 Expanding off-grid applications
 Accelerating Research and Development
 Enhancing Domestic manufacturing base

16. Indian PV Industry
 More than 80 companies, with installed capacity of
over 1.8 GW make PV modules (As of March, 2012)
- 15 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

17. Solar PV installed capacity

stage real progress will take place only after
technologies have been further established and cost
have substantially reduced
The Solar heater Componets are Copper
connector, Magnesium rod, Electric heater,Assistant

safe disposal of scrap Batteries
 Battery Handling Management Rules(BHMR)
 M/s Amara Raja Batteries is collecting the scrap
batteries for recycling in India

25. Current observations
Challenges -
 1.Land- per capita land availability is low. Needed approximately 1 km2
every 20–60 megawatts (MW) generation.
 2. High cost of solar panels.
opportunities-
 1.Since India being a densely populated region in the sunny tropical
belt the subcontinent has ideal combination of both high solar
insolation and therefore a big potential consumer base density.
 2.India can make renewable resources such as solar the backbone of its
economy by 2050, reining in its long-term carbon emissions without
compromising its economic growth potential.

26. conclusion
 Indian policies have created investment friendly
environment in the country for entire range of
activities announced under the Mission
 India centric R&D and local manufacturing
necessary to reduce the cost to achieve grid parity
preferably by 2015-17
 Partnerships necessary with global stakeholders
 India to be a major global player in PV technology
