“The historic blackout in India in late July 2012 identified the main problems of energy supply in India: a strong focus on fossil fuels and the centralized grid,” explained Luc Graré, Senior Vice President Solar Sales and Marketing, REC. “Renewable energy, especially solar electricity solutions, are needed to power India’s future because solar energy is available when needed – during peak hours.”
According to REC, the cost of a unit power from an off-grid solar system is in the range of €0.14 – €0.16 per kWh in comparison with diesel generators costing between €0.23 – €0.25 per kWh.
