India's open solar capacity exceeds 7 GW

  • December 12, 2022
According to the latest report from Mercom India, an Indian research institute, India installed 1.9 GW of open solar (photovoltaic capacity supported by private contracts) from January to September this year, which is an increase of 96% on the basis of 956 MW in the same period in 2021.

In December 2021, the country's cumulative "open" solar power generation capacity exceeded 7 GW, of which Karnataka was about 2.7 GW, accounting for as much as 38%. Maharashtra was second with an installed open solar capacity of 801 MW, accounting for about 11% of the total capacity.

High electricity tariffs, timely approvals by distribution companies, and favorable regulatory frameworks are the key drivers of open solar capacity growth in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, the report said.

India will add 596 MW of new open solar capacity in Q3 2022, compared to just 312 MW in Q3 2021. As of September 30, more than 5 GW of open PV projects are planned (in development and pre-construction stages).
