India hits 100 GW renewables milestone

Solar’s share in the installed 100 GW renewable energy capacity stands at around 44%, and wind at 40% as per the data available from India’s Central Electricity Authority.

Indian state tenders 224 MW of grid-connected PV

Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited. has opened an EPC tender for 224 MW of grid-connected solar capacity in the Indian state of Gujarat. The projects will range in size from 10 MW to 55 MW, with bidding set to close on Sept. 8.

Indian researchers increase hydrogen yield three-fold through carbon-cobalt catalyst interface

The researchers showed a premagnetized carbon-cobalt catalyst interface could deliver up to 650% enhancement in electrocatalytic kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction. The synergistic interface was able to sustain magnetization, and thus rapid hydrogen evolution rate, for prolonged time periods.

Indian developer signs PPA for 400 MW round-the-clock energy supply

Foreign investors tapping into India’s solar market undeterred by untimely payments

100% ownership in renewable energy projects and 25-year power purchase agreements are cited as major factors drawing foreign investors to India’s high-growth solar market. Major developers in India have solar portfolios distributed across states, which further minimizes the risk for investors.

India offers fastest energy payback for rooftop PV: 0.44 of one year

The energy payback time of a silicon PV rooftop system mounted in India is only 0.44 of one year (160.6 days), compared to 0.53-0.67 years in Africa, 1-1.3 years in Europe, and 1.42 years in Canada, as revealed by a world map by German research body the Fraunhofer Institute of Solar Energy Systems (ISE). For the calculation, the report authors considered the installation used a typical, Chinese-made, 60-cell, PERC, 19.9%-efficient solar module.
