Summary
Indias emergence as an opportunity for the PV and CSP solar markets has largely been driven by incremental national and state regulatory policies to achieve a national target of 20 GW of solar by 2022. However, nearterm activity remains uncertain due to regulatory and financial risk
To build upon the paltry 13 MW of solar installed to date, the National Solar Missions aggressive three-phased schedule has attracted as much as 5.6 GW of planned projects. Phase 1 (2013) 1 GW; Phase 2 (2017) 4 GW to 10 GW; Phase 3 (2022) 20 GW (cumulative)
The Ministry of Renewable Energys (MNRE) 2008 pilot scheme for 50 MW of grid-connected solar sparked a surge of development interest that has transitioned into a more robust program, including a 25-year national feed-in tariff (FIT) through the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), a mechanism for bundling solar energy with coal through National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), solar-specific Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs), and a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism
At the state level, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu have implemented FITs that are expected to increase in significance with July 2010 caps on national tariff utilization for PV (<5 MW per project) and local content requirements
At this early stage, project developers are relying heavily on foreign experience in system integration, design, and investment. However, escalating local content requirements and on-the-ground knowledge will be central to growth of the India solar market
MNREs local content requirement for Phase 1 installations is expected to draw upon current module and cell suppliers for PV and structural materials for CSP, but to meet the domestic component requirements, additional PV capacity will be needed to offset the 65% of inventory exported to Europe by existing players. Manufacturing incentives for PV have resulted in a projected domestic manufacturing capacity of over 1,250 MW in PV modules by year-end 2010 Over 70% of pipeline projects hinge on foreign partnerships with German and US solar players, which offer banks and regulatory agencies, demonstrated development experience, financial strength, and technologyparticularly in CSP The India solar project pipeline is highly fragmented among 60 solar companies that have projects totaling approximately 5.6 GW, indicating a high degree of speculation and uncertainty Financing and the high cost of capital (10% to 13%) will continue to challenge the market and attract less risk-averse and experienced developers seeking to break through in a less mature and competitive market
Asia Pacific Renewable Power Advisory APRP 825-100810 Page 2
Summary (continued)
Solar PV technology is expected to dominate the solar industry through 2015 due to its more rapid deployment, size and siting flexibility, and domestic manufacturing presence
Nearly 85% of Indias solar pipeline projects utilize PV technology, but CSPs value is expected to emerge beyond 2015 with cost improvements and technology demonstrations (e.g. dish engine, central receiver, storage). Furthermore, Indias high demand for power, heavy coal usage, and limited gas resources make CSP a potential longer-term option for hybrid plants and industrial steam The impact of Applied Materials decision to discontinue supplying its amorphous silicon (a-Si) Sunfab line has yet to be seen, but Signet Solar (which has filed for bankruptcy), KSK Surya Photovoltaic Venture (KSK), and Moser Baer each have outstanding India manufacturing capacity agreements for 900 MW, 150 MW, and 40 MW, respectively 2010 announcements by ACME Energy Solutions (46 MW) and SunBorne Energy (50 MW) in Gujarat to deploy PV rather than initially planned central receiver (eSolar) and parabolic trough technology, respectively, signal CSP technologys challenge in the cost-driven and riskier India market. Abengoa Solar has adapted its strategy to supply industrial steam CSP technology to local development partner Maharishi Solar

Details
To date, only about 13 MW of total solar generation has been installed in India, highlighting the permitting, financing, and development hurdles The MNREs solar targets, announced in 2009, are broken into three phases that are challenged by financial risks, lack of guarantee mechanisms, and delays in permissions and project allocations On-Grid Targets: Phase 1 (2010 2013): 1 GW (plus 100 MW of rooftop PV and small power plants) Phase 2 (2013 2017): 4 GW 10 GW Phase 3 (2017 2022): 20 GW Key Incentives: FITs, generation-based incentives, and subsidies for rooftop PV Technology: All Off-Grid Targets: Phase 1 (2010 2013): 200 MW Phase 2 (2013 2017): 1 GW Phase 3 (2017 2022): 2 GW Eligibility: <100 kW capacity; up to 250 kW/site for minigrids Key Incentives: Capital subsidies Technology: All

Due to the lack of local CSP experience, poor transmission infrastructure, and bankability, centralized CSP generation will be slow to scale. However, hybrid plants in conjunction with domestic industrial manufacturing and supply chains (e.g. steel, turbines) offer longer-term opportunity beyond 2015

The manufacturing landscape is 70% dominated by large players with sufficient module manufacturing capacities to meet the initial 500 MW PV target. However, there is currently no domestic manufacturing presence in upstream components
Asia Pacific Renewable Power Advisory APRP 825-100810 Page 16
Analysis
Domestic content requirements will force leading suppliers Moser Baer and Tata BP to expand their manufacturing capacity, as both companies export as much as 70% of current CZECH supply to Europe REPUBLIC
The requirements will likely attract foreign players, particularly with more transparent demand-side incentives
If no local content is available (e.g. inverters), foreign imports are allowed AUSTRIA To bolster local content, the national government has set a target of 5 GW of installed capacity by 2020, including dedicated manufacturing capacities for 2 GW of poly-silicon The 30% requirement for CSP will draw upon Indias low-cost steel, cement, and construction sectors rather than in-country technology that will likely be imported from Europe and the US Manufacturing Incentives: Special Incentive Package Scheme BULGARIA (SIPS) for solar PV cell and module manufacturing Special Economic Zones: Income tax exemption for 15 years; allows 100% FDI investment in manufacturing Taxes/duties: Zero import duty for capital equipment and raw material and excise duty exemption Makes importing solar cells more economical for Indian module manufacturers than buying from Indian cell producers 12.8% duty on manufacturing component imports for cells/modules vs. zero duty on completely built modules
