Solar PV power generation has long been acknowledged as a superior form of clean energy technology with vast potential, assuming its cost component can be significantly reduced. It draws upon the planet’s most plentiful and extensively distributed renewable energy resource, the sun. The latest report from Netscribes Inc delves deep into this dynamic market propelled by the photovoltaic generator and makes a comprehensive study of the equipment’s market in the country and its ever increasing role in the solar power generation infrastructure.
The report begins with an introduction of the energy scenario in India. Installed capacity, demand supply gap of power prevailing in India and hence the need for renewable sources of energy is showcased. It gives a clear overview of the components of a solar PV plant and the production chain of PV technology. The market overview section provides an insight into the photovoltaic market which includes the growth and size of PV market in India. The break-up of types of PV modules that are used are also shown. It concludes with a representation of a solar PV value chain.
An analysis of the drivers explains the factors for growth of the industry which includes feasible geographical location of India, fall in prices of PV modules, depleting coal reserves, energy deficiency condition in India, dropping solar power rates, increasing cost of electricity from conventional sources, and time of commissioning of PV projects. However few challenges plague the solar PV sector in India which includes competition from Chinese firms, lack of consumer awareness and the capital intensive nature of solar PV projects.
Key trends in this sector like production of portable solar PV generators, investments in domestic solar PV power producing industry, rooftop power generation, and solar hybrid generators are also highlighted in the report by Netscribes. Upcoming applications of solar PV in the telecom towers and rural ATM’s are also mentioned.
