Key takeaways from Renewable Energy India Expo 2024
Solar module manufacturers are quickly ramping up to multi gigawatt-scale capacity to tap the domestic demand. At technology level, TOPCon modules based on 210 rectangular silicon wafer (G12R) cell are taking center stage.
“India will be the fastest-growing renewable energy market among large economies through 2030,” says IEA
The International Energy Agency projects India’s annual renewable energy capacity additions to more than quadruple from 15 GW in 2023 to 62 GW in 2030.
Rooftop PV installations could raise daytime temperatures in urban environments by up to 1.5 C
New research shows that rooftop PV system may have “unintended” consequences on temperartures in urban environments. Rooftop arrays, for example, may potentially lower nighttime temperatures by up to 0.6 C.

PV system sizing for 100% self-consumption
A group of researchers has proposed a new method for the sizing of PV systems that do not rely on an anti-dump system and operate without the possibility of injecting power into the grid. The novel approach requires an estimate of the annual hourly profile and the minimum power demanded, as well as the use of an irradiance meter and an electrical network analyzer.
Solis hits 6 GW of shipments in India, surpasses 100 GW globally
In India, Solis solar inverters command a 32% market share in the residential segment and 40% share in the C&I segment.
