    The State Cabinets of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha have approved Tata Power’s plan to establish its 10 GW of integrated ingot-to-wafer plant. While in Andhra, the proposed site is Nellore, in Andhra Pradesh, it is Nellore. Both states are coastal states and close to some of the major and minor ports, which can aid the firm in imports and exports. A final confirmation on the final destination is yet to be confirmed by the conglomerate.

    Juniper Green Energy Ltd has commissioned 60 megawatt-hours (MWh) of its 100 MWh merchant battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Bikaner, Rajasthan, marking its first operational merchant storage asset, the company said on Wednesday. A merchant battery energy storage system (merchant BESS) is a grid-connected battery project that operates without a long-term power purchase agreement and instead earns revenue by participating directly in electricity markets.

    What Are The Differnt Types of Encapsulants Available?

    In India, solar manufacturers mainly use three types of encapsulants: EVA, POE, and newer TPO or hybrid co-extruded materials. EVA is the industry workhorse because it is affordable and offers good clarity, but it can yellow over time and is more vulnerable to moisture and PID, especially in hot and humid regions. POE has become popular for advanced modules like TOPCon and HJT since it provides stronger protection against moisture and PID, along with better long-term reliability, though it costs more and takes longer to laminate. Newer TPO and hybrid films try to offer the best of both worlds, combining EVA’s ease of processing with POE’s durability, but they are still developing and sometimes face supply or consistency issues. Overall, all these encapsulants serve the essential job of shielding solar cells from weather, UV light, and electrical stress, with manufacturers choosing based on climate needs, technology type, and cost-performance balance.

    Under the PM Surya Ghar Scheme, there is a cap on the capacity of a solar plant that a residential household can install. In most states, the sanctioned load or household meter capacity determines the maximum permissible system size. The scheme also places a limit on the total subsidy that can be availed. For instance, if a household has already received a subsidy of Rs 78,000 for a 3 kW system, it cannot claim additional subsidy for future system expansion, even if such an expansion is permitted under state power regulatory rules.

    The General Network Access (GNA) framework came into effect after the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) notified the GNA Regulations on June 7, 2022. The regime establishes a non-discriminatory and flexible mechanism for both renewable and conventional generators to access the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS). It aims to reform grid access by simplifying procedures and improving transparency in transmission planning.

    For renewable energy developers, the framework has been a significant confidence booster. By reducing procedural requirements and enabling long-term visibility of transmission capacity, GNA has made it easier for large renewable projects to inject power into the grid. In essence, the regime offers a more streamlined, predictable pathway for integrating green energy into the national network with fewer bottlenecks.

    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on November 24, 2025 at 4:22 pm

    Currently, in India, two types of modules are used in solar projects: DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules and non-DCR modules.

    Currently, in India, two types of modules are used in solar projects: DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) modules and non-DCR modules. As per government mandates, most government-backed projects are required to use DCR modules.

    DCR modules are those manufactured using solar cells produced domestically. This means that any solar module made using solar cells manufactured within India qualifies as a DCR module.

    If you want to increase the solar energy generation in vertical solar installations (solar panels aligned along the walls) in buildings. You can do the following things-

    1. Optimise the orientation of the panels such as using south-, east-, or west-facing facades.
    2. You can also opt for highly efficient solar modules to maximise generation from the same area.
    3. Enhancing the reflectivity of surrounding areas, such as using light-colored pavements or walls, further boosts energy capture.

  9. Asked: April 9, 2025In: Solar Module

    What is the relation between TOPCOn modules and watt-peak (Wp)?

    Manish Kumar
    Manish Kumar
    Deputy Editor at Saur Energy International | Answer on April 9, 2025 at 6:12 pm

    TOCOn based solar modules come in high Wp. Like above 620 Wp. That means that the similar single panel can produce more energy that the conventional soalr panels. This will allow lesser requirement of land for solar projects.
