Re-NEW-ables Rising: Charging into a New Year
As we bid farewell to 2024, the anticipation for 2025 grows. Next year promises to build upon the strong foundation laid by the transformative investments, budgetary allocations, and policy decisions of 2024. With an unwavering focus on scaling renewable capacity, attracting international investments, and integrating cutting-edge technologies, 2025 is poised to bring India's green aspirations closer to reality. Major renewable energy players shared their plans and growth with Energetica India.
SuryaMitra, India’s new Solar Friend
The Surya Mitra Mobile App is currently available in Google play store, which can be downloaded
and used across India. This App is a high end technology platform which can handle thousands of
calls simultaneously and can efficiently monitor all visits of Suryamitra’s. Suryamitra initiative is a
skill development program designed to create skilled manpower in installation, commissioning,
and Operation & Maintenance of solar power plants and equipment.
There are 1.2 billion people without access to the power grid, and they spend about US$27 billion
every year on lighting and mobile phone charging with kerosene, candles, battery torches or other
fossil fuel-powered stopgap technologies. Solar-powered portable lights and home kits offer a
better, cleaner service at lower cost. Nuanced, quality data is the key to better understanding the
maturation and development of this fast-growing market.
INR 1500 crores Payment Security Fund for VGF Scheme
SECI is envisaged to set up a payment security mechanism in order to ensure timely payment
to the developers. This fund will have a corpus to cover 3 months payment for the various VGF
Scheme approved by MNRE from time to time.
Accelerated Depreciation Benefit – A major incentive for solar power
Due to a proposed cap on the rate of depreciation in the budget 2016-17, the benefit that was
available to the solar project investor till date will now be halved in the first year and spread over
the subsequent years.
The Drivers and Challenges of Third Party Financing for Rooftop Solar Power in India
In order to expand the rooftop solar industry in India, there is a need to develop policy solutions,
business models, and financing instruments which can address the barriers. One promising
solution to manage the barriers is the third party financing model. Globally, the third party
financing model for rooftop solar power has been a significant driver of growth in the rooftop
solar industry.
Insight on Challenges Faced by EPC Contractors
Module manufacturers in India have also started EPC operation and maintenance to promote
their products. And since protecting domestic manufacturing can help India become solar selfreliant,
Indian Government needs to work more actively in solving issues in EPC construction to
solve inter-connected problems.
As predicted in 2015, the global small wind market stop decreasing during 2014 and it is expected
that it will increase again from 2015, at least in terms of capacity installed, mainly because an
increase in the size of the new turbines installed in China and Europe. A minimum growth rate of
11% is anticipated to continue until 2016.
Improving Operational Excellence in Wind Farms
Governments around the world are slowly scaling down renewable energy incentives such
as tax benefits and generation based incentives while renewable energy electricity prices are
falling. Companies are thus focusing on minimizing operations and maintenance (O&M) costs
and maximizing power production. Data analytics enables O&M teams to achieve both goals by
taking a closer look at the data from every plant device.
Connecting IT with Operational and Engineering Technology for Asset Performance Modeling
“It is helpful to think of digital engineering information as the digital DNA for infrastructure assets
– down to every nut, bolt and screw. Just as doctors can analyze human DNA to anticipate health
issues and personalize healthcare for better health outcomes, companies can harness the digital
DNA of their assets to personalize asset maintenance for better TOTEX, maximized uptime and
more.“
Electr?c?ty Product?on From PV Panel And Impact of Temperature to Product?on on the Panels
DC voltage occurs when light falls on the terminals of the solar panels. The resulting performance
values of electricity, the amount of light falling on varies depending on the angle of incidence and
climatic parameters. The yield of the electrical energy obtained from conversion according to the
structure of the battery is between 10% and 20%.
