In recent times, we have noticed a steady push towards renewable energy from the Government of India. As a key player in the renewable energy sector, GREW, a flagship venture of the Chiripal Group, supports this mission and is taking all necessary steps to help the country transition to a carbon-neutral future. With state-of-the-art solar panels and an ambitious three-stage fully backward integrated manufacturing approach, GREW is poised to significantly contribute to India’s solar independence.
Government Initiatives Promoting Solar Technology in India
The Indian government has launched several impactful initiatives to promote solar technology in India. As of today, many of the top solar companies in India use solar modules imported from China. The Indian Government is trying its best to reduce the nation's dependence on China while also increasing solar adoption.
As one of the leading solar companies in India, GREW stands dedicated to aiding the country in its mission to achieve carbon neutrality. Read further to learn about some of the prominent initiatives taken by the Government to promote solar energy and how GREW is supporting them.
PM Kusum Yojana: Empowering Farmers with Solar Energy
Launched in 2019, the PM Kusum Yojana (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) provides farmers with subsidies and technological support for the installation of solar plants on their lands. This scheme focuses on reducing farmers' dependence on conventional electricity sources and diesel for irrigation. The scheme also aims to provide capital as well as a minimum support price to further ease the adoption of solar technology.
As one of the most prominent solar module manufacturers in the country, GREW supports the government's broader goal of increasing renewable energy capacity.
Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojna: Accelerating Solar Adoption
The interim budget of 2024 was a significant moment in India’s solar journey. The Finance Minister announced an important step forward in the Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojna. The scheme stated that more than 1 crore homes in India would adopt solar technology in their operations, generating a net savings of around 18,000 crores across households. Solar module manufacturers across the country are excited by this development, as it incentivizes the use of solar technology.
In addition to the aforementioned schemes, the government has implemented several other initiatives to promote solar energy. The Solar Park Scheme aims to establish large-scale solar parks, providing a platform for private investments in solar energy projects. The Rooftop Solar Programme incentivizes the installation of solar panels on residential and commercial buildings, further expanding the country’s solar capacity.
How GREW is Contributing to India's Carbon Neutrality Goal
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already committed on the global platform to make India carbon neutral by 2070. Renewable energy will play a crucial role in helping India achieve this bold and ambitious target. Our three-stage fully backward integrated manufacturing plan is a key effort in this direction and highlights our commitment to sustainability.
Our solar module manufacturing factory in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir is a 3.2GW facility that will take India’s solar sector to the next level. We have already set up a fully operational 1.2GW facility in Jaipur with another 1.6GW plant in the pipeline.
These module manufacturing facilities will manufacture ingots, wafers, and cells, ensuring complete control over the quality and supply chain.
State-of-the-Art Solar Modules
GREW offers two types of high-efficiency solar modules: the p-type and the n-type. The p-type (mono-PERC solar module) boasts a 23% power output, while the n-type module offers up to 24.5% efficiency.
Conclusion
India's journey towards solar independence is a collective effort involving government initiatives, private enterprises, and public participation. Looking for the best solar panels to help achieve India's objectives? GREW is the partner you need.
