India Solar Power Market Trends
A key factor shaping the India solar power market growth is the rising adoption of floating solar power plants. One of the emerging technologies that is at a primitive stage across the world is the floating solar power plant. The main advantage of a floating solar power plant is that it can be installed in human-made or natural water bodies such as dam reservoirs, lakes, municipality water storage ponds, and water treatment plants. Additionally, the performance of floating solar power systems is better than the arrays that are built on the land.
Moreover, these floating power plants are cooler than traditional solar power systems due to evaporating water which allows them to operate more efficiently. Some of the other advantages of floating power plants include longer module life and higher efficiency of solar panels due to the cooling effect. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market which in turn will drive India solar power growth during the forecast period.
India Solar Power Market Largest-Growing Segments
The Grid Connected Segment
The main feature of the grid-connected segment is that it supplies solar energy directly to the building loads without the need for any energy storage system. Additionally, the segment is designed in such a way that the surplus energy is fed back to the grid whereas the energy will be imported from the grid if there is any shortfall.

However, the expansion of this segment is significantly hindered by the unavailability of the land. The main challenge in India is the unavailability of land that can be dedicated exclusively for the installation of solar cells. Furthermore, several factors such as the increasing depletion of fossil fuels including coal, decreasing prices of solar energy, and favorable regulations and policies by the government such as the National Solar Mission are expected to fuel the growth of this segment. In addition, there are several schemes implemented by the Government of India in order to encourage the adoption of solar energy. For instance, a scheme for setting up 300 MW grid-connected solar PV projects by paramilitary forces and defense establishments with VGF is a major scheme announced by the Government of India. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the India solar power market growth during the forecast period.
Solar Power Market in India Dynamic
One of the key factors driving the Indian solar power market is the increasing investments in renewable energy. There has been a significant change in the global energy mix over the last decade with several improvements in energy efficiency playing a major role in balancing the energy supply and demand. As per the IEA, the cost of electricity production is comparatively higher than that of conventional sources. As a result, installed renewable power generation capacity has gained traction over the last few years.
Moreover, the sector has become increasingly attractive with the government's increased support and improved economics. As per the IEA, it is expected that India will meet its energy demand on its own by 2040 and renewable energy is expected to play a major role in meeting the demand for solar power in the nation. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the India - solar power market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the India solar power market growth during the forecast period.
Key India Solar Power Market Challenge
The low conversion efficiency of solar PVs is one of the key challenges hindering India solar power market growth. One of the essential requirements of an off-grid system is that it must be self-sufficient in terms of capacity to meet its overall needs. However, a majority of grid sources in several off-grid projects are highly unreliable. Thus, it is necessary to have a sizable PV system and energy storage to produce and store enough power to meet the total electricity needs.
Moreover, solar power is considered as a clean and abundant source of energy but it is low on efficiency. Therefore as solar power is required to charge the battery in a hybrid system, the low efficiency will need more solar PV panels, which will increase the cost of the entire system. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the India - solar power market growth. Therefore, it is expected to hinder India solar power growth during the forecast period.
