Highlights of Rajasthan Solar Policy 2011 explained by Headway Solar

New Delhi, May 1 2011 - Indian state of Rajasthan has come up with an new Solar Policy, named as, Rajasthan Solar Policy 2011. The State of Rajasthan receives maximum solar radiation intensity in India with very low average rainfall. It also has unutilized low cost desert land available in abundance. Therefore, Rajasthan is likely to emerge as the global hub for solar power in the country. Government of Rajasthan has already issued a Policy for harnessing Renewable Energy in Rajasthan in year 2004. Based on the progressive views adopted in past five years in respect of solar generation under this Policy, Rajasthan State is in the advanced stage of preparedness for installation of large scale Grid Interactive Solar Power Plants in next 5 to 10 years.

Headway Solar (P) Ltd. is a Solar Consultancy company based in India. Headway Solar has an experienced team of PV Solar Power Plant Consultants in India. Apart from being Solar Power Plant consultants, Headway Solar provides complete range of Solar Products and Services.

technology modules or crystalline technology modules involving processing from
wafers stage) of minimum 25 MW per annum capacity in Rajasthan will be eligible for sanction of SPV based Solar Power Plant. The capacity allocation for manufacturing

Manufacturing Plant and Capacity per year allocation for SPV based Solar Power Plant :
1. More than 25 MW but less than 50 MW – 10 MW SPV allocation
2. 50 MW and above – 20 MW SPV allocation
The selection of developers shall be through tariff based competitive bidding. The
