- Faulty photovoltaic (PV) equipment is causing significant power loss in solar projects.
- This underperformance is jeopardizing the industry's ambitious growth goals.
- Larger solar projects are hit the hardest, with sites exceeding 100 MW averaging a yearly revenue loss of $5,000 per MW in 2023.
- System-level faults are the major culprit, with inverter faults being the most common issue.
- Article discusses growing threat of climate change and need to reduce emissions.
- India is a fast-growing economy that can play a key role in achieving net zero emissions.
- Indian government is supporting the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce transportation emissions.
- Solar power is a renewable energy source that can be used to generate electricity for EVs.
- Rooftop solar installations can provide zero emission power to users and reduce their reliance on the grid, significantly reducing costs for consumers.
- The government’s PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana aims to subsidize rooftop solar installations for 1 crore households.
- Combining rooftop solar with EVs can save money for consumers and reduce emissions.
- Indian government re-implements Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) policy.
- This policy restricts solar equipment purchases to domestic manufacturers.
- Aims to boost domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on Chinese imports.
- Targets to increase India's solar power capacity to 500 GW by 2030.

LONGi Solar
has launched its latest innovation, the Hi-MO X6 Bifacial Dual-Glass solar modules.
- These modules are designed for versatility, suitable for various applications like distributed rooftops, solar carports, and even winter gardens.
- The Hi-MO X6 comes in two variants: Explorer and Guardian (Anti-Humidity & Heat). The Guardian variant is specifically built to withstand hot and humid environments.
- The Indian government is launching an online platform to track the origin of rooftop solar modules.
- This will allow citizens to easily verify if their solar panels are made in India or imported.
- The platform will utilize unique identification numbers assigned to modules manufactured in India.
- This initiative follows failed attempts to reduce reliance on imported solar panels through domestic content requirements.
- Beneficiaries of the PM Surya Ghar scheme can also leverage the platform for verification.
