1 Presentation on solar rooftop Abhilakh Singh General Manager 12th April, 2016

2 Power Scenario India, energy demand which was nearly 700 mtoe in 2010 is expected to cross 1500 mtoe by Dependence on imports for energy requirements is expected to increase from 30 per cent to over 50 per cent. At the estimated 51% primary energy imports, India will be one of the most import-dependent countries in the world. India s per capita electricity consumption reached 1010 kilowatt-hour in , as per CEA figures, yet is among the lowest in the world. China has a per capita consumption of 4000kWh, with developed nations averaging around 15,000kWh per capita. The current installed capacity, as of March, 2016 is 288,665 MW. Immediate goal is to generate two trillion units (kilowatt hours) of energy by 2019 so as to be able to provide 24x7 electricity for residential, industrial, commercial and agriculture use.

3 Renewable Energy It is in this context that the country has rightfully embraced renewable energy which is now seen as complimenting and supplementing the conventional sector. Renewable energy with its huge untapped potential, shall be playing a significant role in the plans of the Government to provide 24 x 7 power to every home, factory and farm, Wind and Solar Energy being the predominant sectors.

4 Target 2022 Private Sector PSUs Commitment of 252 GW from 319 Companies Commitment of 19 GW from 24 PSUs Finance Manufacturing Commitment for financing 69 GW from 27 Banks Commitment of 62 GW from 17 Manufacturing Companies

5 Sector wise scaling up Plans for Solar Energy 100 GW by 2022 Rooftop Projects (< 1 MW per project) Large scale Grid connected (1 MW 500 MW project) Ultra Mega Power Projects (>500 MW) 40,000 MW 30,000 MW 30,000 MW Projects under both Net Metering and Gross Metering SECI has already identified several cities and developers have been selected Solar park in Charanka (Gujarat, 600 MW) Other solar parks planned in several other states. 21 solar parks in 20 states with capacity of MW Focus on utilising wastelands

6 Rooftop Projects Target 40,000 MW by 2022 Current support Financial assistance of 30% of the benchmark Current Status Projects sanctioned and approved in principle MWp Projects installed MWp (As on ) Institutional ( Govt. Bldgs., hospitals, warehouses, schools etc.): 7500 MW Categories of Rooftops Industrial & commercial sector: 20,000 MW Housing Sector: 12,500 MW Net Metering Policies in 21 States projects.

7 Solar Rooftop Game changer Solar Roof-top segment has a great potential in India and can indeed be a game changer in attaining these challenging targets. Rooftop Solar in India has mostly revolved around various demonstration projects, although, things have changed radically in the last 2-3 years with sharp drop in prices of various components, increased support from the Government and positive regulatory regime. As per the Report India Solar Rooftop Map, 1.5 GW of solar roof-top installation is predicted by 2018 There is now a realization that the Rooftop Solar can help earn money besides generating power at the place of use and in fact, a profit-making proposition for the building owners by renting their rooftops for solar installations.

8 States Partners in RE Growth States crucial partners to achieve the targets set With the required policy push, States now fine tuning their RE policies in line with the national goals and becoming more investor friendly. Post RE-INVEST 2015, State Governments, Nodal Agencies and even Private Sector now actively participating and supporting the RE goals.

9 State Policies

10 State Policies

11 Business Models for Solar Rooftop 2 Business models based on the ownership of the rooftop solar PV system Self-owned solar PV system Roof owner owns, operates, and maintains the Rooftop SPV system. Generated electricity is either consumed by the end-use loads or supplied to the utility grid or combination of both. Third party owned solar PV system Solar Developer/System Integrator or any other company owns the Rooftop Solar PV system and sell electricity either to the roof owner or consumer or both. Third party owned model does not allow roof owner to avail certain financial benefits, such as tax benefits, capital subsidy.

12 Financing based on System Ownership

13 Project Financials for PV System for Commercial Sector

23 Conclusion Solar Rooftop PV Systems have great potential, however, there is a need for awareness creation both about Rooftop Solar PV Systems/ technology packages as well as about the financing avenues available. Policy support is essential in terms of regulations for net metering, grid interconnection and energy accounting Need for promoting large scale, local manufacturing of dual function inverters (functionality of both grid-tied and hybrid inverters) to reduce cost. Need for technical innovations in storage technologies - mainly to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
