Rapid decline in solar module prices and increase in the cost of diesel and grid power have made solar very aerac?ve
Solar Roobops – Current Scenario Global Scenario • InternaRonal markets have been built on Roobops, 75% of Germany’s solar market is Roobop.
Power scenario • Deficit of over 15% across India and more than 30% in AP; 2 to 3 days power holidays/ week for industries.
JNNSM Targets • Target of 20GW by 2022; Target for phase 2 (upto 2017) revised from 3GW to 9GW
• Solar to generate 3% of consumed power and have 12% of capacity in India by 2022.
Renewable Purchase ObligaRons • RPO targets have been raRfied in all states and enforcement procedures are being chalked out by SERCs
Green Buildings & JNNSM
1297 registered green building projects (as of 2011)
201 cerRfied green buildings
On-‐site renewable energy generaRon of 1% fetches 4 points – EA Credit 2 under LEED CS 2011 for India
OpRmizing Energy Performance (over baseline) fetches 3 to 21 points – EA Credit 1
• scope of use of solar thermal technologies for water heaRng, space heaRng, laundry, drying, refrigeraRon, AC and cooking)
JNNSM has given added thrust to
• Grid Red solar roof top systems • Off grid solar water heaRng systems, solar air condiRoning and heaRng

MNRE Roobop Scheme
• Maximum Allowed Size per project to avail 30% capital subsidy from MNRE is 100kw for commercial en??es
• RECs cannot be issued ifcapital subsidy is availed from MNRE • Payback for projects availing capital subsidy is over 10 years

Roobop Solar Schemes
Capital Subsidy Scheme
• Offered by MNRE through State Nodal Agencies and Channel Partners
• Max 30% capital subsidy (except in J&K and NE States)
• Max Limit of 100kW capacity • DomesRc Modules mandatory
• RECs cannot be availed • Payback upto 10 years if grid power is displaced and 3 to 4 years if DG power is displaced
REC Mechanism
• Regulated by CERC • Projects are accredited by SLDC and registered by NLDC
• Metering by SLDC and RECs are issued by NLDC
• RECs are traded in IEX and PEX
• Price Band Rs 9.30/kWh to Rs 13.40/kWh
• Discoms, CPPs and OA consumers are Obligated EnRRes who will buy RECs

Pros
• Simple registraRon process. Lower gestaRon Rme.
• No delays in subsidy from MNRE.
• No restricRon on imported modules.
• Can avail AD benefit • Payback much more aoracRve than capital Subsidy Scheme
Cons
• Uncertainty regarding revenues beyond 2017
• Need for collateral security may arise in some cases to avail bank financing
• May need 100% equity financing in smaller projects.
RECs and Carbon Credits
RECs are much simpler than
CDM. No need to establish ‘addiRonality’
Monitoring and VerificaRon is simple under RECs. Simple metering
reading suffices
ProtecRon for the REC prices
through regulatory orders
RPO set by regulators and policy regime is more stable than Kyoto Protocol
Yet, Cost and Financial Barriers Persist for Solar
Roobop Solar – OpRon A
Build, Own and Operate (BOO) Model
• Displace grid power or DG power • Configure the solar plant with or without baoery backup • 100% equity or along with debt secured by owner • Avail Accelerated DepreciaRon benefit • Enjoy REC revenues for faster Payback ~ 6 years ( at 50%-‐50% D/E) in Hyderabad (payback 11 years under capital subsidy scheme)
• Levelized energy cost at 50%-‐50% Debt : Equity is Rs 7.6/kWh or Rs 5.9/kWh (including Accelerated DepreciaRon Benefit)
Roobop Solar – OpRon B PPA with ESCo (Energy Services Company) Model
• No investment by the Client • PPA price about Rs 6.25/kWh – for 15 years (if grid power or DG power is displaced); 3.5% annual escalaRon in price
• Monthly payments for power through ESCROW account • Roof space leased to financier/ESCo at nominal rate. • Security Deposit of Rs 1.5million for each 100kW project • 100% funding by financier / ESCo company who will avail AD benefit
• Displace grid power or DG power; configure system with or without baoery
• RECs owned and traded by financier / ESCo – derisking the project for client.

Spiritus Animalis and Solar Investments Keynes described animal spirit as “a spontaneous urge to acRon rather than inacRon, and not as the outcome of a weighted average of quanRtaRve benefits mulRplied by quanRtaRve probabiliRes”. The term is derived from spiritus animalis, which means the spirit that drives human thought.
Invoke the animal spirits to invest in roo1op solar for guaranteed returns and energy independence – Satya Kumar
There is no source of energy more ubiquitous than the Sun
