India is seeing record demand for rooftop solar as companies seek to add clean energy to meet climate goals amid falling panel prices.
Companies are on pace to install 4 gigawatts of panels on top of buildings in this financial year ending March 31, nearly doubling the previous record, according to a new report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis and JMK Research and Analytics.
Businesses are driving the uptake as they sign corporate power purchase agreements to meet commitments for net zero emissions, the researchers said. They’re also taking advantage of falling costs, as solar module prices have hit a record low this year amid a glut of manufacturing capacity.
