India is fast-tracking its clean energy transformation, and energy storage is now at the heart of that evolution. As the country pushes toward grid stability, reduced carbon emissions, and energy security, the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems with energy storage is no longer optional—it’s becoming essential.
At Solex Energy, while we manufacture high-performance solar PV panels, we understand the critical role battery energy storage systems (BESS) play in unlocking the full potential of solar power for industrial and commercial users.
Key Developments Driving Change:
Mandatory Storage for New Projects:
The Government of India now mandates that new solar PV projects include a minimum 2-hour co-located energy storage equal to 10% of project capacity. This is a game-changer for grid reliability.
Strong Policy Support:
Schemes like the Viability Gap Funding (VGF) and the National Framework for Promoting Energy Storage Systems are incentivizing large-scale adoption of BESS and encouraging co-located deployments with solar.
BESS for Grid Stability:
The Ministry of Power is actively promoting solar-plus-storage models to support energy security and better load balancing, especially critical as solar energy continues to scale.
Rooftop Solar with Storage Now Viable:
Across India, rooftop solar projects are increasingly integrating storage to reduce grid dependency, especially for industries operating during peak-load hours.
Future Outlook:
With India surpassing 100 GW of installed solar capacity, the National Electricity Plan (NEP) 2023 forecasts a storage need of 411.4 GWh by 2031–32, scaling up to 2380 GWh by 2047.
Why It Matters:
- Grid Stability: Stored energy bridges the gap when solar isn’t generating.
- Cost Savings: Reduces peak-time electricity costs for industries.
- Efficiency Gains: Maximizes solar utilization without wastage.
- Lower Emissions: Minimizes reliance on fossil fuels.
