Rooftop solar potential could be critical to energy transition in India, should be incentivised: Study
New Delhi, Nov 16 (PTI) Over 25 crore households across India have the potential to deploy 637 GW of solar energy capacity on rooftops, according to a new independent report by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) released on Thursday.
The CEEW report said that deploying just one-third of this total solar technical potential could support the entire electricity demand of India’s residential sector (about 310 TWh).
However, the technical potential reduces to one-fifth (118 GW) after factoring in the current electricity consumption of households.
