Solar Markets in India 2013 Seminar Keynote Address Pranav R. Mehta Chairman Solar Energy Association of Gujarat 7th May, 2013 Hotel Crowne Plaza, New Delhi, India New Delhi, India
Kal, AajAurKal Indian Solar Scenario [MW] • Year 2008 Practically zero • Year 2013 1.5 GW [Most in 2010 – 2012] • Tomorrow 22,000 MW JNNSM 50,000 MW Many Experts 1,50,000 MW Some

President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam on Renewable Energy April 2006
The most significant aspect, would be that power generated through renewable technologies has to be increased to 25% against the present 5%. • It would be evident that for true energy independence a major shift in the structure of energy sources from fossil to renewable energy sources is mandated.
Solar Energy • Solar energy in particular requires unique, massive applications in the agricultural sector, where farmers need electricity exclusively in the day time. This could be the primary demand driver for solar energy. • We also need to embark on a program in solar energy systems and technologies for both large, centralized applications as well as small, decentralized requirements, concurrently, for applications in both rural and urban areas.
Large scale solar energy farms of 100’s of MW capacity in certain number could contribute around 55,000 MW
Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) based PV cell expected to give a high efficiency of 50% as against the present less than 20% for conventional PV cells. Research mission required. • “Rural household solar mission” which will provide LED based Nano crystal lighting system through small solar PV power plants to 70 million rural households using kerosene.
JNNSM – Phase 2 • 3000 MW capacity to be supported by the Government of India • Additional 6000 MW is envisaged through Solar RPO requirement
Mandatory Solar RPO Mechanism • The Solar RPO has to begin with .25 % of the energy procured reaching 3% by 2022 • Solar Power required to meet Solar RPOs (MW) • 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 1465 3018 4659 6387 2015 –16 2016 –17 8204 10109 • 2015-16 • 2016-17 • 1465 • 3018 • 4659 • 6387 • 8204 • 10109
JNNSM – Phase - 3 • Phase – 3 of JNNSM envisages balance 16,000 MW by 2022
JNNSM also envisages • To promote programs for off grid applications, reaching 1000 MW by 2017 and 2000 MW by 2022 • To achieve 15 million sq. meters solar thermal (water heating) collector area by 2017 and 20 million sq meters by 2022 • To deploy 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas by 2022
State Solar Initiatives • Outside the JNNSM, many states are planning Solar Capacities • Gujarat 971 MW • Rajasthan 10,000 – 12,000 MW • Karnataka 200 MW • Andhra Pradesh 1000 MW • Tamil Nadu 3000 MW • M.P 200 MW • Chhatisgadh 500 – 1000 MW • U.P. 500 MW

More Potential Areas for Solar Energy • Solar Desalination Plants • Solar Air Conditioning and cooling • Solar Green Buildings • Solar and Bio Hybrids • Solar and Wind Hybrids • Hydrogen through solar energy • DC Future for Solar Applications • Much Improved Solar Storage
More Potential Areas • DC Solar Fans • DC Solar Coolers • DC Solar Agricultural Pumps • Solar Lanterns • Solar Cookers in a massive way • Newly Designed Solar Roofs using Solar Printing Technology for Rural Applications
In fact many of us expect • What happened in Silicon Valley 15 years ago will happen for Solar in India in the next 15 years
Drivers for Future Solar Dreams • RPO Enforcement – including for the Captive Power Plants • REC Projects to be Bankable – Innovative Ideas • Higher Emphasis on Off Grid as well • Massive application of Solar Agricultural pumps holds out a very big potential – reducing subsidy burden on State Exchequer.
Drivers for Future Solar [Contd] • Increased Solar Applications for Cooling, Air Conditioning, DC Fans, DC Pumps • Applications of new Solar Printing and other Technologies
Converting Solar Dreams to Reality • A very important step converting the solar Dream into reality will be : “ Accord the same priority as Space and Nuclear Programs to Solar Sector”
Converting Solar Dream to Reality Increase the Solar Energy Budget to 5 times the present Budget – until Grid Parity is achieved
I am an eternal optimist and believe in the slogan “ Dreams Come True”
