    The deadline for submitting applications is January 30, after which the Rajasthan will shortlist candidates meeting all the eligibility requirements.

The state of Rajasthan in India has opened the bidding process for its latest round of solar projects to developers, reports Bloomberg.

At stake is 200MW of capacity, divided equally between solar thermal and PV. Companies are permitted to bid for both, with individual project sizes totalling 50MW for solar thermal and between 5MW and 10MW for PV. The deadline for submitting applications is January 30, after which the agency will shortlist candidates meeting all the eligibility requirements. Bids are due to be opened in mid-April.

Meanwhile, plans to auction a further 50MW of projects to companies that agree to build manufacturing facilities in the state are awaiting government approval. Rajasthan’s government had proposed that companies be eligible for licenses to install 10MW for every 25MW of manufacturing capacity they build.

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
