Over the last few years, the renewable energy generation capacity of India has seen rapid growth and is presently the third most attractive renewable energy market across the globe. The government’s announcement regarding the country’s goal to reach net zero emissions by 2070 and to meet fifty percent of its electricity requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030 has also given a huge boost to the renewable sector. Unlike the conventional energy sectors, where the charges have been going up due to various industry-related limitations, the market cost of renewable energy devices concerning the demand-supply chain has come down by almost 80% and is very much affordable. All these factors have resulted in a gradual increase in market penetration, which includes large industrial projects to smaller installations and residential areas.
