We firmly believe that the target will be achieved by 2017-18 and by 2020. Another 10 GW will be added making total to 30 GW by 2020.
This is one positive step by the MoEF and we welcome it. We believe that the case should be followed by many other State and Central Departments such as, Revenue, Energy, finance.
Technology available in the Solar sector today is matured and time tested. Willingness of the entrepreneurs to enter this sector has been proved in the response to RFS of NVVN and many other state RFS. We believe that the Financial Institutes and bank will change their conservative approach towards the sector once the actual performance results from one GW commissioned projects start coming in.
We feel that the era of direct cash incentives by government is over and expecting same will not be fair. However, we feel that the government can reduce the burden of entrepreneurs by developing Solar Parks With all common infrastructure facility viz,Land, Power Evacuation, Security, Finance. Clear Policy for developing private solar parks wherein the infrastructure can be shared by investors in line with Wind Farm will also help a lot to this sector.
With open access and generators spreading across the country smart grid will be essential to the country to stabilise the system and same will solve many problems. However, we feel that the utility scale projects like ours will not be affected much by the move.
Solar is a revolution which has just begun in India and world. We feel that this revolution will be one of the most significant revolutions that the mankind has witnessed till date. This revolution will leave behind the mobile telecom revolution in coming days.
We visualize that with the present momentum, solar industry will see the technologies which we have not seen and it will be hard to find the roof top without solar panels in coming decade.
