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.
Solar-Powered Cars: Futuristic Dream or Unrealistic Ambition?
The only logical way to go forward to clean transportation is electric vehicles. Adopting EVs and powering them through energy produced by solar panels that is transmitted through the utility grid or a structure nearby.
Analytics to Drive Efficiency in Solar
Big data analytics provides the means to streamline their O&M processes to a great extent. Many analytics tools have been proven beneficial for running day-to-day- operations of various solar plants. To mention one, Virtual Irradiance (VI), a solar management program based on big data, which collects ground-level irradiance or sunlight intensity data accurately, eliminates the need for expensive on-site sensors.
Net-Metering: The Oxygen for Roof-top Solar
It is becoming increasingly clear that DISCOMS are not comfortable with net-metering and have been lobbying ERC’s to act against net-metering. Hence, it is important to understand a few of the challenges faced within the ecosystem and viable solutions for the same.
Solar plus energy storage is perhaps the most viable option for standalone hamlets or villages where there is no grid connectivity, and the electricity is currently generated using diesel generator sets. With increased focus on climate change globally, there has been a shift towards renewable energy. India too is seeing a steady transition from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources.
Need for Greater Focus on Grid Digitalization
“2020 has been an unprecedented year that released massive unpredictability into the power sector. Power demand had weakened and DISCOM health turned even more delicate. Delay in project execution led to a hefty inventory buildup across the value chain.
Policy and EV Transition in India
Despite the compelling case for adoption, the success of EVs so far has been constrained by weak customer appetite and infrastructure roadblocks, among other factors. While EVs represent less than 1 per cent of the overall market, the silver lining is that there is considerable headroom for growth.

A Throwback Memory in India: Sungrow’s First Installation in India Completes 6 years of Operations
The project has generated more than 50 million units of clean solar energy over last six years. This has also helped to offset 6.5 million kg of CO2 annually and will continue to do so.Even after almost 6 years, Sungrow’s SG30KTL-M inverters are performing smoothly in the tough climatic area where the temperature is soaring up to 50 deg C in summer. This longevity of the product with minimal failures has helped the customer maximize the generation and increase the ROI.
Building a Healthier and Safer India – A Hydrogen Fuel Economy for India
When it comes to transportation, long haul vehicles and commercial transportation are being preferred to first be supported with hydrogen powered fuel cells. As these vehicles over long distances, Hydrogen powered vehicles will offer similar range as ICE and therefore enable effective fleet utilization. Another popular application for commercial vehicles used in construction and materials managing where time available as these vehicles cannot afford long charging hours.
