CSTEP’s storage programme has two verticals: 1) techno-economic analysis of various storage systems along with policy aspects, and 2) research and development (R&D) of novel electrode and electrolyte materials for state-of-the-art and emerging battery systems using computer simulation techniques.
For the last couple of years, photovoltaics (PV) has been the preferred choice of technology for harnessing solar energy against Concentrated Solar Power (CSP).
Access to electricity can bring about a transformative change in the economic conditions and growth of any country.
CSTEP worked with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) to develop RE (floating solar/RTPV/wind) + battery storage system designs for 12 islands in Lakshwadeep.
This project was a part of the Indo-US collaborative research platform Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the United States (SERIIUS; www.
The agricultural sector in Karnataka accounts for 39% of the state’s electricity (~21,344 MU).

Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the United States (SERIIUS) is a joint research consortium for clean energy research.
India should clearly articulate its technology and financial requirements to move along a lower carbon intensive trajectory.
The Version 1 (V1) (which can be accessed here) of the CSTEP’s Solar Techno-Economic Model for Photovoltaics (CSTEM PV) was built under the US-India Partnership to Advance Clean Energy Research (PACE-R) for the Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the United States (SERIIUS).
Solar power plants are expected to play a significant role in India’s power sector.
India ranks ninth overall on Ernst and Young LLP's most recent renewables attractiveness Index.
India is blessed with abundant sunlight.
