| | SEPTEMBER 20174Consultants ReviewEditor's NoteTime to Identify the Solar Energy PotentialNandini MukherjeeManaging Editor ConsultantsReviewSolar is believed to become a crucial component of India's energy portfolio in the next decade - perhaps more so than it is in most other countries. While some players have already begun preparing, most have yet to place a bet on solar, given the uncertainties within the sector. Success in solar energy will require a long-term commitment and a sound understanding of local dynamics. A study of India's nascent solar-energy initiatives, combining research with perspectives gleaned from dozens of interviews with developers, manufacturers, investors, value-chain, regulators, and policy makers at both the state and national levels states that India has a huge potential to generate enough solar power to serve, not only our own nation but the whole world. Despite being a sun-rich nation, there are reasons which indicate that India has failed to catch up to its true solar potential. One may blame weak infrastructure or a lack of cost-effective financing for it, but what remains daunting is the fact that relying on coal and other non-renewable source of energy is widening the fuel demand-supply gap in addition to polluting the environment. To bridge this gap, organizations are looking out to improve energy efficiency, foster renewable power generation and achieve exceptional environmental performance, while implementing innovative strategies and business models. In such a scenario, consultants come into the picture who can help companies around the globe navigate today's challenges including supporting and engineering expertise to clients and investors in Solar Power Sector, complete concept to commissioning services for MW scale grid-connected and off-grid standalone solar power projects, delivering solar energy supply at reasonable costs and optimizing operational efficiency and customer service.
