India’s Aegeus Technologies has developed an autonomous, water-free cleaning bot for rooftop solar installations. The bot weighs 5 kg (with battery) and can be operated remotely through a web-based app. It uses an air wash technology to clean the panels, ensuring no need for water or any harmful chemicals.
During the fiscal year 2020-21, India installed utility-scale solar projects amounting to 3.5 GW, about 39% less year-on-year.
Poor and piecemeal implementation of net metering policies is a major roadblock for the uptake of rooftop solar system in India, according to a new report by Asian Development Bank.
India added 7.7 GW of new renewable energy (RE) capacity in FY2020-21, out of which 5.5 GW (71%) came from solar (grid-scale and rooftop) alone. Overall power generation capacity addition for the year stood at 12.1 GW.
In large-scale solar, Adani was the largest developer by capacity, and Sterling & Wilson the preferred EPC partner. Tata Power Solar led in rooftop solar installations.
Bidders have until May 10 to lodge their interest in installing and commissioning the grid-connected solar capacity at various training and educational institutions across the State.
Developers have until May 17 to bid for the installation, commissioning, and ten-year operation and maintenance of rooftop solar projects across India.
In this series, we’ll break down the decision-making process into bite-sized pieces so you can navigate the process and feel good about your choices.
Gujarat tops the list of Indian states with respect to installed solar rooftop capacity, as it has already achieved around 40 percent of its allotted target. The persisting pandemic has slowed down the pace of capacity addition but policy incentives like SURYA- Gujarat are paving way towards Gujarat’s clean energy transition.
The Gurugram-headquartered distributed solar energy company has acquired Sterling and Wilson’s 7.2 MWp of on-site rooftop solar projects across seven Indian states.
