Off-grid Applications

• JNNSM has focus on promoting off-grid systems, which still require interventions to bring down costs.

• Scheme is designed to provide an enabling framework and support for entrepreneurs to develop markets.

• The scheme covers – Off-grid and decentralized systems, including hybrid systems to meet/

supplement lighting, electricity/power, heating and cooling energy requirements

– Solar PV systems / applications (maximum capacity 100 kWp per site) – Mini-grids for rural electrification (maximum capacity 250 kW per site)– All applications of solar energy to produce heat including steam

generation.

• Subsidy @30% of the cost (subject to benchmarks) is provided; higher subsidy is provided in special category states including north eastern states.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing capacity of solar cells and solar modules increased from 200 MW and 700 MW in 2009 to 500 MW and 1250 MW respectively.

Manufacturing of various raw materials, components, devices and systems is coming up/expanding in the country (Poly silicon, wafers, glass, EVA, back sheet, grid inverters etc.)

There is no customs & Excise duty on cells and modules; recently, custom duty is also waived off on raw materials required to manufacture cells and modules.

Research Infrastructure (Universities/ R&D institutions)

• R&D Policy is in place to support projects in Universities/ academic institutions, research labs and in industries

• Overall goal is

– to develop solar energy applications having improved performance, operability, reliability, and cost competitiveness.

– Achieving grid parity in the generation of solar electricity.

• Type of projects supported under the policy include– Centres of excellence in thematic areas of research

– Applied research

– Technology validation and field evaluation

• Currently, 18 projects in photovoltaics and 17 in solar thermal areas are under implementation

39

Institutional Arrangements

• Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has been set up as a Company Not for Profit under Section 25 of Company Act for implementation of activities under the Mission

• Solar Energy Research Advisory Council, Chaired by Dr. Anil Kakodkar has been set up to advise on research policy with a view to achieve Mission targets.

• Solar Energy Industry Advisory Council, Chaired by Shri Anand Mahindra set up.

JNNSM – Phase 2 : Goals

3,000 MW capacity to be supported by the Government of India Additional 6,000 MW is envisaged through Solar RPO

requirement Requirement of solar power capacity by 2017 is estimated to be

about 10000 MW. A demand of about 10,000 MW of solar power is expected to be

generated by 2017 assuming an yearly increase of solar RPO by 0.25 % and increase in conventional power capacity by 3%

1000 MW off grid solar applications by 2017 15 million square meters solar thermal collector area by 2017

Proposed Areas of Cooperation

• Manufacturing of entire value chain of solar PV and solar thermal power systems

• Joint technology development for off-grid, thermal and grid applications including– High/ medium temperature thermal storage – Cost effective solar desalination and solar cooling systems– Balance of system for solar thermal applications viz. water heating in

high rise buildings, integration with conventional steam generation systems in industries

– Low speed cut –off wind machines– Low waste heat recovery technologies

• Joint validation of the new and emerging technologies under Indian conditions

• Testing and standardization for solar concentrators

Incentives Available

• Reduced customs duty on all items of machinery required for the

initial setting up of a solar power generation project or facility

• Exemption from excise duty on all items of machinery required for

the initial setting up of a solar power generation project or facility

• Nil / concessional excise duty on manufacture of most renewable

energy systems / devices

• Income tax exemption for renewable power projects under section

80 IA for 10 years

• Exemption from environment clearance for solar power projects

• 80% Accelerated depreciation

• Provision of RPOs and RECs
