Commercial & Industrial PV

Avaada ‘Halo’ hybrid battery inverter—designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in India—is both scalable and stackable. It is available in 3 kW, 5 kW, and 10 kW configurations, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and small industrial (C&I) applications.

Jharkhand’s vast renewable energy potential, combined with its industrial base and critical mineral reserves, positions the state to emerge as a hub for low-carbon manufacturing, ranging from EVs, solar panels and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to green hydrogen production.

Delta Electronics has showcased its 1.1 MW modular central inverter designed, developed and produced in India. The inverter combines efficiency of up to 99.1%, modular design, and advanced communication and protection features.

Schneider Electric has introduced a modular 200 kWh battery energy storage system for commercial and industrial (C&I) users, scalable up to 2 MWh across 10 units.

If India achieves its stated clean energy target, power-sector emissions across this major coal-growth market could begin to decline by 2030, according to a new analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA).

Shree Cement Ltd has commissioned a 20 MWp solar power plant in the Chitrakoot district of Uttar Pradesh for self-consumption. The project will supply power to its Etah grinding unit using the Wheeling and Banking route.

Countries reliant on imported minerals and components are rethinking energy strategies in solar, batteries, and green hydrogen. Securing upstream and midstream processes is no longer optional but essential for flexibility. India’s integrated approach across mining, processing, and manufacturing positions the country as a challenging player on the world stage.

DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2025 report also predicts that distributed generation solar should begin outpacing utility-scale installations in some parts of the world by 2060. It adds that the levelized cost of electricity for solar is beginning to plateau and is expected to slow to an annual drop below 1% by the 2050s.

Hybrid and storage integration, rising corporate demand, and increased use of digital tools are defining the next phase of India’s renewable energy market. Developers that combine execution excellence with storage innovation, digital intelligence, and corporate partnerships will set the pace of growth, says Shantanu Upasani, Director – Construction, ENGIE India.

Researchers in China have developed a dust monitoring technique that relies solely on the existing hardware resources of inverters, without requiring extra sensors or meteorological data. Tests on real rooftop PV arrays demonstrated an accuracy exceeding 96%.”
