Solar Power is the need of the hour and highly essential for the future.
MNRE, Finance Ministry, State govt policy makers, State electricity regulatory Commissions and Discoms are the key stake holders on the regulatory side. While everybody is out to protect their best interests, SOLAR implementation is taking a back seat. Need of the hour is a commission over and above these stake holders. In consultation with EPC players, Manufacturers, Investors, Financiers and Users, this commission needs to launch a policy which is seamless and has a single window clearance model.
Policies cannot keep changing. They should have a longer, defined and definitive period.
In a large country like India, if solar power has to reach the masses, we require a central and easy to implement policy in place. The policy needs to be in tune with on ground realities.
The learning curve is done with. The entire supply chain including Investors, Financiers, EPC players, are in place.
One state has a solar friendly policy while the other does not.
When solar power is understood to be so important, why dont we have a policy to back it up!
Why are customers not chasing the industry? Why do we see small blips of good policy? Why are there constant changes?
Easier, hassle free policies will drive further growth!
Most important are the Customer, Finance and EPC. Policy should be good enough to create a pull for the customer and hassle free for Supplier/ integrator/ EPC to install with easy access to finance.
This will be the perfect scenario for solar expansion in the country.!
