How can i create a spv in India ?
We in India have a 30 year old solar energy programme, which very much includes SPV or solar photovoltaics. See www.mnes.nic.in, www.greenpeaceindia.org and www.winrockindia.org for more information. About 55-60 MW of power is generated from SPV instalations all over India. Critical lighting and communications are major applications, even though you see these being used for applications like rail signalling, cathodic protection of underground pipelines & vessels, geophysical/oilfield instrumentation, etc. Very few civilian use installations exceed 100 Watts. Production has reached 20 MW annually, between nine manufacturers. Yet, considering a total renewable energy production of 3500 MW, SPV has a very small share. Its high cost and poor conversion efficiency make it affordable only where the cost of not having any power is greater than the cost of a SPV system. Here too, wind and biomass provide better alternatives in cost terms. SPV is excellent for low-power-high-quality power in re
