Earlier this week I had discussed that solar energy is getting cost competitive and scalable, theApr’12 edition of report from Bridge to India suggests the same. As per report telecom tower market is now very promising with almost 2GW of potential for next few years, at least till 2016. As expected solar power has come up to be the best option among diesel-parity based market segment for solar PV Solutions.
The report goes on to explain that previous efforts in telecom solarisation failed mainly due to high initial costs along with the cost of operating and maintaining these systems. The scenario has however changed, there have been policy changes in India leading to the introduction of new business model in form of RESCO i.e. Renewable Energy Service Company, which is discussed in great detail in the latest edition of India Solar Compass. Further costs have come down recently giving boost to the sector.
The report highlights the market potential and key factors that influence cash demand, project’s life cycle, profitability and thus viability for RESCO business model for solar telecom market.Greetings of the day,
It is very kind of you to spare a few words about my work solar energy has been my passion for quite some time now and my discussion topics on Linkedin, “Green Economy and the Role of Renewables in providing energy access for the Poor”, on facebook,“GREEN ENERGY for Empowering Rural India”and my blog are small efforts on my part to contribute for the cause, to create awareness and in the long run ensure that the benefit reaches the weakest section of the society.
It would be an honour and pleasure to be associated with your publication, as you might have gathered from these discussions, my focus has always been the rural/weaker part of society, I believe that people living in the remotest corners of the country are the ones who should be the true beneficiary of solar power. I’d like to write something in line with this thought and I feel that the topic you suggested “The future of National Solar Mission in India", can lay emphasis on the fact that unless we make the rural India self sustained in power, urban India cannot even think of being one.
Please let me know as to how should we proceed.
Best Regards
S.K.Singh
