The Indian solar energy market has come a long way, from about 3 GW of installed capacity in 2014 to over 30 GW in 2019. The solar industry has been sparked by the NDA government’s goal of achieving 100 GW by 2022 along with the plummeting cost of equipment, making solar increasingly scalable. The government deserves credit for working with stakeholders to continuously introduce and improve new policies to make rooftop and utility-scale solar an attractive source of power in the country.
