India's Rooftop Solar Capacity Projected to Reach 132 GW by 2030, ISMA Reports
India's rooftop solar capacity could expand from 17 GW to 132 GW by 2030, with annual demand projected between 9 and 15 GW, according to the Indian Solar Manufacturers Association (ISMA). The residential segment holds significant untapped potential, supported by government initiatives like the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which has increased adoption beyond economically viable regions. Sustained policy support beyond 2027 is seen as crucial for maintaining demand and encouraging domestic manufacturing of solar components.
