India wants to hook its population onto clean energy by boosting rooftop solar
BENGALURU: Just a few years ago, someone who wanted to install a rooftop solar connection in India faced getting multiple approvals, finding a reliable company to install the panels and spending heavily before seeing the first surge of clean energy.
But that’s changing. The government has streamlined the approvals process, made it easier for people to claim subsidies and pushed mountains of cash – including $9 billion announced this month – to encourage faster adoption of technology that’s seen as critical for India to reach its clean-energy goals.
