Sunny side up... solar controlled glass solutions for India

摘要

For a sun-soaked country whose new and enormous emphasis on solar power has got so much attention, Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is hardly mentioned in India's energy policy or industry activity, if at all. Clearly, BIPV is still at an early stage in the subcontinent although its potential is obvious and huge. The scale of India's solar power expansion plans is staggering. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's (MNRE) has a new target of deploying 100GW of solar energy by 2022, a five-fold increase from the previous government's target of just 20GW. The size and speed of the expansion envisaged certainly is ambitious.
