Large-scale solar projects

 From just over 11 megawatt of solar in 2010, India had installed 35.1 gigawatt of solar power as of June 2020, scaling up its solar capacity by over 3,000 times in less than a decade.

Large-scale solar projects, which make up the preponderant share of 32.3 GW in India’s overall solar capacity, are exempted from environmental processes and public hearings. The biggest projects are fast-tracked and incentivised through various schemes.


In solar parks, the state government acquires the land, sets up ancillary infrastructure and invites multiple private players to bid and set up for ‘plug and play’ installations, as in the Pavagada solar park in Karnataka.


Then there are the standalone projects, such as Kamuthi in Tamil Nadu, where a single private firm wins the bid to build and operate. In contrast, rooftop solar installations, typically of smaller-scale, total up to 2,817 MW.


While development experts hail the rapid growth of India’s solar sector, a murmur of disagreement is emerging among climate experts and activists.

The Major Solar Projects List is a database of all ground-mounted solar projects, 1 MW and above, that are either operating, under construction or under development. The list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain. The information in the list was gathered from public announcements of solar projects in the form of company press releases, news releases, and, in some cases, conversations with individual developers. It is not a comprehensive list of all utility-scale projects under development. This list may be missing smaller projects that are not publicly announced.

What makes a roof good for solar?

Image
From the perspective of homeowners and businesses looking to go solar, the bigger the solar rebate the better. Your roof can have a significant effect on the environment and global warming. It can also have an impact on your energy bill and the value of your property. Some of the options include installing solar panels, implementing a roof garden, and using light-colored materials to reflect the sunlight. Solar Roof: Solar panels help the environment by generating electricity from a clean source and reducing or potentially eliminating your consumption of electricity produced from fossil fuels. By installing a solar photovoltaic system at home you can also save your electric bill and increase the market value of your home. Cooling Effect on Building: Solar panels are typically installed on a rack that stands off against the roof. The resulting gap between the panels and the underlying shingles allows air to circulate around the array. This setup is good for the solar panels, w...
