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.

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
