India has become the third-largest solar capacity country in the world and set an ambitious target of 450 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, comprising 300 GW of solar capacity.
The major factor behind the rise of solar deployment is giga-scale solar manufacturing and the continuous adoption of innovations to reduce prices.
Cutting-edge giga-scale solar manufacturing stands on three pillars:
- Disruptive PV chemistries,
- Manufacturing by custom-engineered advanced production equipment, and
- Utilisation of innovative BOM components like special glasses and coatings.
India’s NDC document of the Paris Agreement in 2015 called for extraordinary leadership to combat climate change. India PV EDGE 2020 is one small step towards that ambition.
