India a solar hub
Tropical Location Impact
• India has high solar insolation with about 300 clear days of sunshine in a year across various
locations
• India receives solar energy equivalent of over 5,000 trillion KWhr/yr, which is far more than the
total energy consumption of the country
• The daily average solar energy intake varies from 4‐7KWh per sq m depending upon the location

• MNRE is providing various incentives and concessions to the manufacturers as well users of SPV
based products ‐
 Zero excise duty for manufacturers

Global demand and increasing focus on environmental risk also
spurring solar energy
Major export demand Impact
• After the Kyoto protocol, developed countries like US, UK, Germany are moving towards solar
power to bring down pollution levels from power generation sector
• These countries are importing solar power generation equipments from countries like India
 More than 80% of the solar PV cells produced in India is exported to countries like Japan, US and Australia

Minimal fuel and environmental risks
• Climatic changes imposing the government to give more importance to alternate sources

 In solar power systems there are no harmful gas emission, no wasted water, no noise and no waste
generation
• Volatility in oil prices have increased the focus on renewable sources of energy like solar energy
 Once solar power system is installed, the cost of generating electricity is fixed over the lifespan of the
system with no risk of shortage of fuel or rise in fuel prices

Solar industry growth being hampered by higher unit cost,
dependence on raw material import..
Solar Power Unaffordable due to high costs Impact
• Initial cost of both Thermal and PV based solar energy systems is higher compared to the cost of
conventional energy systems and also other non‐conventional energy systems
• The capital cost to set up a photovoltaic plant generating 1 MW of electricity is almost USD 5.1
mn
• The running cost is also high as the solar cells also need to be replaced after every 7‐8 years

High dependence on raw material import
• India does not have any major domestic source for polysilicon, a prime ingredient for solar cell
production
• Solar cell producers in India import almost 100% of their wafer cell requirement


..increasing polysilicon prices and alternate land requirements

Volatility in polysilicon prices Impact
• Polysilicon, main raw material for silicon wafer cells, constitutes about 80% of the solar cell cost
• Higher polysilicon prices increase the cost of installation of photovoltaic panels and push up the
cost of solar power generation
f l
• Spot prices touched $380‐400/Kg in 2008, almost 10 times the $40/Kg spot prices in 2004

necessities that require land
• The amount of land required for solar power plants is about 1 sq km for every 20‐60 megawatts
