India is moving faster on its way towards 100 smart cities, rooftop solar will be a huge opportunity
 Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems poised to make his mission of “100 Smart Cities” a success story. In order to achieve this goal, his government has already planned to invest Rs 7,060 crore. The rapid urbanisation and increasing population are already putting pressure on the country’s resources. No doubt, we can’t keep continue depending on fossil fuels to meet our future energy demands. With the focus growing on 100 smart cities projects, our energy dependency is surely more towards renewable energy sources, especially solar.
Rooftop solar Rooftop solar provides minor peak demand benefit by itself but in conjunction with use of distributed storage, greater benefits can achieve. Rooftop solar peak demand benefit is not large enough on its own to reduce near-term network costs. Rooftop solar will be a huge opportunity in a country like India. There are some limitations which can only be served by off-grid rooftop systems for captive consumption.
Future outlookThe power ministry, facing rising power demand and low installed capacity and acute coal shortage, has been relying on solar power.
