Potential of Solar Energy in India
• The daily average solar energy incident varies from 4 - 7 kWh
per square meter.
• The potential of power generation is 30 – 50 MW per square
kilometer of land area depending upon the technology and
geographical location.
• It is possible to set up solar power generation capacity of over
1,00,000 MW in India.
• Potential for solar power is dependent on future developments
that might make solar technology cost-competitive for grid-
interactive power generation applications.
6
Advantages of Solar Energy
• Huge potential in India
• Available throughout India
• Decentralized solutions possible
• Installation is quick and modular
• Prices of solar PV panels and associated Balance of Systems
dropping considerably
• No recurring fuel cost
• Reliable and negligible maintenance
• Environment friendly
• Leads to reduced dependency on fossil fuels and consequent
reduction in import bills
• Hybrid possibilities with various types of fuels
7
Importance and relevance of solar energy
for India
1.COST:
• Solar is currently high on absolute costs compared to other
sources of power such as coal.
• The objective of the Solar Mission is to create conditions,
through rapid scale-up of capacity and technological
innovation to drive down costs towards grid parity.
8
2. SCALABILITY
• India is endowed with vast solar energy potential.
• About 5,000 trillion kWh per year energy is incident over
India’s land area with most parts receiving 4-7 kWh per sq. m
per day
• Solar thermal and solar photovoltaics, can effectively be
harnessed providing huge scalability for solar in India.
9
3. Environmental impact
• Solar energy is environmentally friendly as it has zero
emissions while generating electricity or heat.
4. Security of source
• From an energy security perspective, solar is the most secure
of all sources, since it is abundantly available.
• Theoretically, a small fraction of the total incident solar energy
(if captured effectively) can meet the entire country’s power
requirements.
• Solar imperative is both urgent and feasible to enable the
country to meet long-term energy needs.
10
India’s National Action Plan on
Climate Change (NAPCC)
• National Action Plan on Climate Change was released by Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh on 30th June, 2008.
• Eight Missions were Discussed on
– Solar Energy,
– Enhanced Energy Efficiency,
– Sustainable Habitat,
– Water,
– Sustaining the Himalayan Eco-system,
– Green India,
– Sustainable Agriculture and
– Strategic knowledge for Climate Change
11
Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission

OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS
• The objective of the National Solar Mission is to establish India as a global leader in
solar energy, by creating the policy conditions for its diffusion across the country as
quickly as possible.
• The Mission will adopt a 3-phase approach.
• Remaining period of the 11th Plan and first year of the 12th Plan (up to 2012-13)
as Phase 1
• Remaining 4 years of the 12th Plan (2013-17) as Phase 2 and 13th Plan (2017-22)
as Phase 3.
15
MISSION TARGETS
• To create an enabling policy framework for the deployment of 20,000 MW of solar
power by 2022.
• To ramp up capacity of grid-connected solar power generation to 1000 MW within
three years – by 2013; an additional 3000 MW by 2017 through the mandatory
use of the renewable purchase obligation by utilities backed with a preferential
tariff.
• This capacity can be increased to 10,000 MW by 2017.
• To create favorable conditions for solar manufacturing capability, particularly solar
thermal for vast production and market leadership.
• To promote programmes for off grid applications, reaching 1000 MW by 2017 and
2000 MW by 2022 .
• To achieve 15 million sq. meters solar thermal collector area by 2017 and 20
million by 2022.
• To achieve 15 million sq. meters solar thermal collector area by 2017 and 20
million by 2022. 16
Policy and Regulatory Framework
 Amendment of National Tariff Policy for solar specific
RPOs
 Solar specific RPO - 0.25% in Phase 1 (2013) to
increase to 3% by 2022;
 REC Mechanism
 Encourage state specific solar policies
 State-wise RPO Orders by Regulators
 Exemption from environmental clearance for solar power
projects
17
Utility connected applications: constructing the solar grid
• The key driver for promoting solar power would be through a
Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) mandated for power utilities,
with a specific solar component.
• This will drive utility scale power generation, whether solar PV or
solar thermal.
• The Solar Purchase Obligation will be gradually increased while the
tariff fixed for Solar power purchase will decline over time.
18
The below 80°C challenge – solar collectors
• The Mission in its first two phases will promote solar heating systems, which
are already using proven technology and are commercially viable.
• The Mission is setting an ambitious target for ensuring that applications,
domestic and industrial, below 80 °C are solarised.
• The key strategies are,
• Firstly, make solar heaters mandatory, through building byelaws and
incorporation in the National Building Code.
• Secondly, ensure the introduction of effective mechanisms for certification
and rating of manufacturers of solar thermal applications.
• Thirdly, facilitate measurement and promotion of these individual devices
through local agencies and power utilities.
• Fourthly, support the upgrading of technologies and manufacturing
capacities through soft loans, to achieve higher efficiencies and further
cost reduction.
19
The off-grid opportunity - lighting homes of the power-
deprived poor
• A key opportunity for solar power lies in decentralized and off-grid
applications.
• In remote and far-flung areas where grid penetration is neither feasible nor
cost effective, solar energy applications are cost-effective.
• The key problem is to find the optimum financial strategy to pay for the
high-end initial costs in these applications through appropriate
Government support .
• The Government has promoted the use of decentralized applications
through financial incentives and promotional schemes
• Provide solar lighting systems under the ongoing remote village
electrification programme of MNRE to cover about 10,000 villages and
hamlets.
20
21
• Set up stand alone rural solar power plants in special category
States and remote and difficult areas such as Lakshadweep,
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Ladakh region of J&K. Border
areas would also be included.
• Promotion of other off grid solar applications would also be
encouraged. This would include hybrid systems to meet
power, heating and cooling energy requirements currently being
met by use of diesel and other fossil fuels.
• Solar energy to power computers to assist learning in schools
and hostels, Management Information System (MIS) to assist
better management of forests in MP, powering milk chilling
plants in Gujarat.
• In order to create a sustained interest within the banking
community, it is proposed to provide a soft re-finance facility
through Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency
(IREDA) for which Government will provide budgetary support.
Manufacturing capabilities: innovate, expand and
disseminate
• Currently, the bulk of India’s Solar PV industry is dependent on imports of critical
raw materials and components – including silicon wafers.
• Transforming India into a solar energy hub would include a leadership role in low-
cost, high quality solar manufacturing.
• Manufacturing capacities for advanced solar collectors for low temperature and
concentrating solar collectors and their components for medium and high
temperature applications need to be built.
22

PROGRESS & LEARNING FROM PHASE I
 Phase I – was divided into two Batches; batch I & batch II
 Batch I – 150 MW SPV & 350 MW Thermal
 Batch II – 350 MW SPV
 Bundling Concept - In order to facilitate grid connected solar power
generation under the first phase, without any direct funding by the
Government, Government approved NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam
(NVVN) as the nodal agency to purchase 1000 MW of solar power
from the project developers, bundle it with the unallocated power
available from the NTPC coal-based stations and sell this “bundled”
power to the Distribution Utilities. Bundling concept was introduced
to keep the cost of bundled power approximately Rs 5/kWh.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR PHASE-II
Phase I of JNNSM had relatively smaller capacity addition
targets and bundling scheme and generation based incentive
mechanism proved sufficient and successful for rapid increase
of solar power in India during initial stage of the Mission.
However, Phase II has aimed for significantly higher scale of
targets and the Ministry is contemplating all the possible options
for implementation of the mission.
57
STRATEGIES FOR GRID CONNECTED PROJECTS
There are several strategies MNRE is proposing for
implementation of solar power projects under Phase II of the
mission.
a) Bundling Scheme
b) Viability Gap Funding
c) Generation Based Incentive

VIABILITY GAP FUNDING
 It is a scheme announced in 2004 to support the infrastructure
projects.
 Challenges in Infrastructure generally characterized by
substantial upfront investments, long gestation periods, fixed
returns, etc.
 So it was a scheme to support infrastructure financing through
CAPITAL GRANT
 The Scheme provides financial support in the form of grants,
one time or deferred, to infrastructure projects undertaken
through public private partnerships with a view to make them
commercially viable.
60
VGF UNDER PHASE II OF JNNSM
 CAPEX for Solar Projects is still higher as compare to the thermal.
 Cost of generation is more than the average cost of grid power.
 Bundling and GBI schemes have very limited scope in Phase II of JNNSM
and Viability Gap Funding could be an attractive alternative for supporting
solar projects during Phase II of the mission.
VGF ON PER MW CAPITAL COST
Under this option,
bidders would bid for viability gap funding requirement in Rs/MW
and
the bidder with minimum VGF requirement would be selected.
61
IT IS PROPOSED THAT THE VGF WOULD BE
PROVIDED IN THREE TRANCHES AS FOLLOWS:
 25% at the time of delivery of at least 50% of the major
equipment at the site. This would be based on the cost of total
procurement.
 50% on successful commissioning of the full capacity of the
plant
 Balance 25% after one year of operation meeting
requirements of generation as per guidelines.

CURRENT HAPPENINGS
 The draft methodology for the VGF based bidding process
was released in May 2013
 The allocation process, signing of PPAs and handing out of
VGF will all be handled by the Solar Energy Corporation of
India (SECI).
 Tariff under VGF = Rs. 5.45 / Kwh (No A.D. Benefits)
 Tariff under VGF = Rs. 4.95 / Kwh (A.D. Benefits)
 Over and above this, VGF will be provided with an upper
limit of 30% of the project cost or Rs. 2.5 Crores /MW.

  • 17. Policy and Regulatory Framework  Amendment of National Tariff Policy for solar specific RPOs  Solar specific RPO - 0.25% in Phase 1 (2013) to increase to 3% by 2022;  REC Mechanism  Encourage state specific solar policies  State-wise RPO Orders by Regulators  Exemption from environmental clearance for solar power projects 17
  • 18. Utility connected applications: constructing the solar grid • The key driver for promoting solar power would be through a Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) mandated for power utilities, with a specific solar component. • This will drive utility scale power generation, whether solar PV or solar thermal. • The Solar Purchase Obligation will be gradually increased while the tariff fixed for Solar power purchase will decline over time. 18
  • 19. The below 80°C challenge – solar collectors • The Mission in its first two phases will promote solar heating systems, which are already using proven technology and are commercially viable. • The Mission is setting an ambitious target for ensuring that applications, domestic and industrial, below 80 °C are solarised. • The key strategies are, • Firstly, make solar heaters mandatory, through building byelaws and incorporation in the National Building Code. • Secondly, ensure the introduction of effective mechanisms for certification and rating of manufacturers of solar thermal applications. • Thirdly, facilitate measurement and promotion of these individual devices through local agencies and power utilities. • Fourthly, support the upgrading of technologies and manufacturing capacities through soft loans, to achieve higher efficiencies and further cost reduction. 19
  • 20. The off-grid opportunity - lighting homes of the power- deprived poor • A key opportunity for solar power lies in decentralized and off-grid applications. • In remote and far-flung areas where grid penetration is neither feasible nor cost effective, solar energy applications are cost-effective. • The key problem is to find the optimum financial strategy to pay for the high-end initial costs in these applications through appropriate Government support . • The Government has promoted the use of decentralized applications through financial incentives and promotional schemes • Provide solar lighting systems under the ongoing remote village electrification programme of MNRE to cover about 10,000 villages and hamlets. 20
  • 21. 21 • Set up stand alone rural solar power plants in special category States and remote and difficult areas such as Lakshadweep, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Ladakh region of J&K. Border areas would also be included. • Promotion of other off grid solar applications would also be encouraged. This would include hybrid systems to meet power, heating and cooling energy requirements currently being met by use of diesel and other fossil fuels. • Solar energy to power computers to assist learning in schools and hostels, Management Information System (MIS) to assist better management of forests in MP, powering milk chilling plants in Gujarat. • In order to create a sustained interest within the banking community, it is proposed to provide a soft re-finance facility through Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) for which Government will provide budgetary support.
  • 22. Manufacturing capabilities: innovate, expand and disseminate • Currently, the bulk of India’s Solar PV industry is dependent on imports of critical raw materials and components – including silicon wafers. • Transforming India into a solar energy hub would include a leadership role in low- cost, high quality solar manufacturing. • Manufacturing capacities for advanced solar collectors for low temperature and concentrating solar collectors and their components for medium and high temperature applications need to be built. 22

  • 57. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR PHASE-II Phase I of JNNSM had relatively smaller capacity addition targets and bundling scheme and generation based incentive mechanism proved sufficient and successful for rapid increase of solar power in India during initial stage of the Mission. However, Phase II has aimed for significantly higher scale of targets and the Ministry is contemplating all the possible options for implementation of the mission. 57
  • 58. STRATEGIES FOR GRID CONNECTED PROJECTS There are several strategies MNRE is proposing for implementation of solar power projects under Phase II of the mission. a) Bundling Scheme b) Viability Gap Funding c) Generation Based Incentive 58
  • 59. BUNDLING SCHEME Power generated from NTPC coal based stations Relatively expensive solar power Distribution Utility at Weighted Average Price 59
  • 60. VIABILITY GAP FUNDING  It is a scheme announced in 2004 to support the infrastructure projects.  Challenges in Infrastructure generally characterized by substantial upfront investments, long gestation periods, fixed returns, etc.  So it was a scheme to support infrastructure financing through CAPITAL GRANT  The Scheme provides financial support in the form of grants, one time or deferred, to infrastructure projects undertaken through public private partnerships with a view to make them commercially viable. 60
  • 61. VGF UNDER PHASE II OF JNNSM  CAPEX for Solar Projects is still higher as compare to the thermal.  Cost of generation is more than the average cost of grid power.  Bundling and GBI schemes have very limited scope in Phase II of JNNSM and Viability Gap Funding could be an attractive alternative for supporting solar projects during Phase II of the mission. VGF ON PER MW CAPITAL COST Under this option, bidders would bid for viability gap funding requirement in Rs/MW and the bidder with minimum VGF requirement would be selected. 61
  • 62. IT IS PROPOSED THAT THE VGF WOULD BE PROVIDED IN THREE TRANCHES AS FOLLOWS:  25% at the time of delivery of at least 50% of the major equipment at the site. This would be based on the cost of total procurement.  50% on successful commissioning of the full capacity of the plant  Balance 25% after one year of operation meeting requirements of generation as per guidelines. 62
  • 63. TARGETED CAPACITY AT UTILITY SCALE 2013-14 2014-15 Total Bundling (fit) PV 800 MW 0 MW 800 MW VGF PV 750 MW 770 MW 1520 MW CSP 0 MW 1080 MW 1080 MW 63
  • 64. CURRENT HAPPENINGS  The draft methodology for the VGF based bidding process was released in May 2013  The allocation process, signing of PPAs and handing out of VGF will all be handled by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).  Tariff under VGF = Rs. 5.45 / Kwh (No A.D. Benefits)  Tariff under VGF = Rs. 4.95 / Kwh (A.D. Benefits)  Over and above this, VGF will be provided with an upper limit of 30% of the project cost or Rs. 2.5 Crores /MW. 64
