“…In regard to indemnificatory policy research, Algieri et al [26] proposed that we can target the photovoltaic industry precisely by combining it with a real situation. Granić et al and Rohankar et al [27,28] put forward the proposal that government should invest more and provide more support for related industry by financial or taxation methods. Hence, we can create a larger market place for the photovoltaic power generation industry, just as Curreli et al proposed [29].…”

Abstract:In the context of the global potential energy crisis and aggravating regional environmental pollution, Chinese photovoltaic power generation still faces the key problems of sustainable development, even given its favorable background in large-scale exploitation. Scientific evaluation of the comprehensive efficiency of photovoltaic power generation is of great significance because it will improve investment decision-making and enhance management level, evaluate the development conditions of photovoltaic power generation and then promote sustainable development capability. The concept of "comprehensive efficiency" is proposed in this paper on the basis of the resource development of solar energy and exploitation of photovoltaic power generation. A system dynamics model is used to study the conduction mechanism of the comprehensive efficiency of photovoltaic power generation. This paper collects data from 2005 to 2015 as research models, establishes the evaluation model of the comprehensive efficiency of photovoltaic power generation and conducts empirical analysis based on a super-efficient data envelopment analysis (SE-DEA) model. With the evaluation results, this paper puts forward political suggestions as to the optimization of the comprehensive efficiency of photovoltaic power generation. The research results may provide policy-oriented references on the sustainable development of photovoltaic power generation and give theoretical guidance on the scientific evaluation and diagnosis of photovoltaic power generation efficiency.

“…The MNRE established the RECs in 2010 and allowed their trading in March 2011 to address the discrepancy between the availability of electricity coming from RE sources and the conditions of the obligated industries to meet their Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) under the Electricity Act 2003 [20]. The RPOs require distribution companies, energy producers and certain consumers to obtain a share of their electricity from renewable sources [31]. The REC program is enforced by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission and offers two choices for RE producers, the first allows them to sell their energy at special prices, and second, offer electricity with environmental attributes that can be tradeable like RECs [31].…”

“…The RPOs require distribution companies, energy producers and certain consumers to obtain a share of their electricity from renewable sources [31]. The REC program is enforced by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission and offers two choices for RE producers, the first allows them to sell their energy at special prices, and second, offer electricity with environmental attributes that can be tradeable like RECs [31]. So far it has been widely stated that participation in REC markets is short and unsuccessful in enticing large investments because less than 2.5% of certificates out of the anticipated REC demand were issued [20].…”

“…India's location between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator is very appealing to solar power because it receives 4-7 kWh of solar radiation per square metre per day for 250-300 sunny days annually [31]. India experiences an average temperature of 25°C to 27°C and has a solar energy potential of 5000 trillion kWh per year [8], which far surpasses its annual energy consumption and can enable India to become a global leader in solar power.…”

“…India has rapidly increased its solar power capacity from 3.7 MW in 2005 to 4060 MW in 2015 showing a compound annual growth rate exceeding 100% over the past 10 years [2]. The solar sector has grown over 200-fold in the last five years and is expected to expand further under the National Solar Mission to install 22 GW of solar capacity by 2022 [13,31].…”

Opportunities and challenges of solar thermal technologies in the Indian context

India has abundant solar power assets. Many districts get better than expected insulation compared with different parts of the world. The essential innovation for incorporating and changing sun‐based energy into electrical energy in India depends on photovoltaic (PV) cells. Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants have barely added to the nation's general introduced solar‐based force limit. The difficulties that have restrained the development of CSP and CST are part of the discussion and potential arrangements recommended. The primary difficulties for CSP and CST are identified as the absence of a dependable direct normal irradiance database, indigenous assembling, and rivalry from PV. The after‐effects of a contextual analysis evaluated the effect of indigenous assembling and economies of scale on capital expenses and levelized cost of power. We will evaluate the current status of CSP plants in this paper. The paper shows different incorporated technologies in solar thermal application in India with indigenous manufacturing and the energy policy supporting the solar thermal analyzing the barriers to implementation of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. Also, the techno‐economic evaluation of the CSP and CST is covered. This paper provides a framework of CSP and CST technology in India's industrial sector with their impact on goods and services provided by the sector and the cost‐effectiveness of the product and technology. Furthermore, the environmental aspects and base electrical load accumulating are researched, and various policy measures and amendments are suggested to the government from this study‐based study.
