Does Indian solar PV have a policy framework?

Stakeholders maintain that Indian solar PV suffers from a largely unsupportive policy framework, wherein price per MW must compete against other generation technologies of which the full costs are not recognised, such as the environ-mental costs of coal power.

How much land does solar PV use in India?

An even smaller fraction is permanently used (less than one percent), mainly for the roads that maintenance crews need during the operational life of the wind farm. In the case of solar PV, the land requirement in India is approximately 35 MW/km2.

Is Build-Own-Operate a viable option for large-scale solar projects in Maharashtra?

What is a solar panels on shipping container?

It not only transports the PV equipment, but can also be deployed on site. It is based on a 10 - 40 foot shipping container. Efficient hydraulics help get the solar panels ready quickly. Due to its construction, our solar panels on shipping container offers unmatched flexibility and maneuverability.

Can solar power be used for water pumping in India?

Because most of the nation lacks an electrical infrastructure, one of the initial uses of solar power was for water pumping, to begin replacing India's four to five million diesel-powered water pumps, each of which consumes around 3.5 kilowatts, and off-grid lighting.

Could solar power be a viable alternative to the grid?

An alternative might be to take this load off the grid and install solar-powered pumps, the technology for which is now mature after more than a decade of field-testing. Indeed, Karnataka is launching a solar pump scheme in March 2014, wherein 1000 to 2000 pumps will be provided to farmers in the first year.
