The solar PV plants in India are entering a phase of maturity. The total installations will exceed 2 GW by the end of the year, and about half of the installations would have completed more than 1 year of operations by that time. As the plant becomes older, Operation and Maintenance (O&M) becomes more and […]

Solar PV sector in India is maturing. From being a virtually unknown sector in 2009, Solar sector has come a long way, having crossed the 1 GW mark in 2012. During this relatively short journey of 4 years, the sector has seen several eventful things – the drastic price drops caused by the huge oversupply
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy(MNRE) has released the performance date for April 2013. The performance details of projects commissioned under the JNNSM Phase 1, Batch 2 have also been released. Of the 24 projects commissioned(details available here), performance data is available only for 11 plants. The details of the plants are given below.
