The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) organised a webinar on 26 May 2021 to discuss the potential of rooftop photovoltaic (RTPV) systems in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in India.
The uptake of rooftop solar technology has been slow in India though it is an important component in achieving our renewable energy targets.
The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) formally launched its Rooftop Solar Explorer tool for Madhya Pradesh on 21 March 2023 at Bayleaf, Courtyard by Marriott, Bhopal.
India has deployed roughly 300 MW of rooftop solar (RTS) capacity in the first quarter of 2020, taking the overall RTS capacity to 5.
The overall story of India’s solar power sector is one of extraordinary growth.
India has set an ambitious target of 40 GW of clean energy generation through rooftop photovoltaic (RTPV) installations to be achieved by 2021–22.
India has set an ambitious rooftop solar photovoltaic target of 40 GW by 2021-22.
Decentralised renewable energy resources for electric vehicle (EV) charging pave the way for green mobility.
India’s rooftop solar (RTS) sector has immense growth potential though it is underperforming currently with only 8 GW installed capacity as against the 40 GW target set for 2022.
Rooftop solar is expected to play a major role in India’s 280 GW solar target for 2030.
Rooftop solar (RTS) has the potential to revolutionise India’s energy landscape, offering a sustainable, decentralised, and affordable solution to meet the country’s growing electricity needs and making consumers self-reliant.
'CSTEP's Rooftop Evaluation for Solar Tool' (CREST) was launched online on 2 September 2020.
The Government of India, in 2015, had set an ambitious target of installing 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022.
A 40 GW target of installed rooftop solar (RTS) capacity by 2022 was set by the Government of India in 2015.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a direct cause of human-induced climate change.
