Energy storage plays an important role in balancing supply and demand and helps to create a more flexible and reliable electricity
As of the end of 2020, Tamil Nadu has an installed solar PV capacity of over 4 GW.
In recent times, climate conditions have become more and more harder to predict. Severe temperatures can affect not only the way we design buildings, but also affect thermal comfort of occupants. Extreme temperatures can bring health issues and decrease workers productivity, besides increasing energy consumption. In climate sensitive countries like India, where extreme temperatures happen
To mitigate the sector’s market and financial barriers, the Indian Government has sought climate financing from international banks. Additionally, with technical assistance programs, the early market-related risks and challenges, such as lack of experience and technical knowledge amongst the key stakeholders are to be overcome in order to accelerate deployment of rooftop solar. The scope
