India's smart photovoltaic projects have seen significant development in recent years, especially with strong government promotion and rapid market growth.
1、 Policy background
The Indian government has been committed to promoting the development of renewable energy, especially the photovoltaic industry, in recent years. The government has formulated a series of policies, such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) program and the Photovoltaic Module Certification List (ALMM), to promote the rise of local photovoltaic manufacturing industry and reduce dependence on imported photovoltaic products. At the same time, the government has set ambitious installation targets, such as achieving a solar installed capacity of 300GW and a total renewable energy capacity of 500GW by 2030.
2、 Project Overview
Photovoltaic power station project
Various regions in India are actively constructing large-scale photovoltaic power plant projects, which are not only massive in scale, but also many of which adopt intelligent technologies such as intelligent monitoring systems and intelligent operation and maintenance platforms to improve power generation and operation efficiency.
For example, in areas with abundant light resources such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra, multiple super large photovoltaic parks and grid connected photovoltaic projects have been built.
Vertical integrated manufacturing factory
Indian renewable energy companies such as GrewEnergy are building vertically integrated manufacturing plants for photovoltaics, which cover multiple links such as silicon ingots, wafers, cells, and modules, aiming to achieve full industry chain production of photovoltaic products.
For example, GrewEnergy's newly built photovoltaic integrated manufacturing plant in the Jammu and Kashmir Federal Territory has a project value of INR 45 billion (approximately USD 539 million), with a planned production capacity of 2.8GW each for silicon ingots, wafers, and cells, and 3.2GW for modules.
Rooftop Photovoltaic Plan
The Indian government has also launched a $9 billion rooftop photovoltaic program with a target installed capacity of approximately 30GW. This plan aims to encourage residents and businesses to install rooftop photovoltaic systems to increase the proportion of distributed power generation and energy self-sufficiency.
3、 Technical features
Intelligent monitoring: Indian photovoltaic projects generally adopt intelligent monitoring systems, which can monitor key indicators such as the operation status and power generation efficiency of photovoltaic power plants in real time, ensuring the safe and stable operation of power plants.
Intelligent operation and maintenance: Some projects have also introduced intelligent operation and maintenance platforms, which use big data analysis and artificial intelligence technology to achieve remote operation and maintenance and fault prediction of photovoltaic power plants, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and improve operation and maintenance efficiency.
Efficient modules: With the advancement of technology, more and more Indian photovoltaic projects are adopting high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, such as PERC modules, HJT modules, etc., to improve power generation efficiency and reduce the cost of electricity per kilowatt hour.
4、 Market prospects
Continued growth in installed capacity demand: Driven by both government policies and market demand, India's photovoltaic installed capacity demand will continue to grow. Especially with the continuous advancement of photovoltaic technology and further cost reduction, photovoltaics will become an important component of India's energy structure.
The rise of local manufacturing industry: With the rise of India's local photovoltaic manufacturing industry, in the future, Indian photovoltaic projects will adopt more locally produced photovoltaic products and reduce dependence on imported products. At the same time, the development of local manufacturing industry will also drive the development of related industrial chains, forming a virtuous cycle.
In summary, India's smart photovoltaic projects are showing a vigorous development trend under the combined effects of policy promotion, market demand, and technological progress. In the future, with the continuous maturity and improvement of India's photovoltaic industry, more intelligent and efficient photovoltaic projects will emerge.
