Workshop on Photovoltaic Innovation Session

21 Nov, 2024 (Delhi) and 18th and 19th Nov, 2024 (Mumbai) | Delhi and Mumbai, Maharashtra

In the third week of November, KfW, PTB and GIZ - the three implementing agencies of German development cooperation in India’s energy sector, conducted two workshops on Photovoltaic innovation, followed by site visits to AgriPV projects in Maharashtra and Delhi. 

The workshop explored innovative solar applications such as Agri-Photovoltaics (APV) and Floating Solar (FPV), presented by GIZ under the NISA (New and Innovative Solar Applications) project. These technologies offer solutions for expanding solar capacity while minimising additional land use. PTB provided insights into global advancement in metrology and standardisation within India’s PV sector. KfW emphasised the significance of long-term durability and performance for the economic success of solar PV projects and shared key measures from the EPC Best Practice Guidelines 2.0, published by SolarPower Europe. 

The sessions saw participation from state-generation companies, NBFCs, private sector representatives, and consulting firms.
