According to the Indian Mercom's latest report, in the first nine months of this year, India has reached 6 new pv installed. 6 gw, including large photovoltaic projects for 5. 382 gigawatts (gw), photovoltaic roof is 1. 24GW。
in the third quarter of this year, India's pv installed fell slightly, to 1. 1 589 gigawatts (gw), compared to the second quarter. 659 gw, dropped by about 4%. And in the same period last year installed to 2. 278 gw, fell by about 30%.
the first three quarters of this year large photovoltaic projects installed are: 2 in the first quarter. 1 984 gigawatts (gw), the second quarter. The third quarter of 244 gigawatts (gw), 1. 154GW( Q3 2017 installed to 2. 013 gw, fell 43% year on year) 。
roof installed for 435 mw, and the third quarter of this year compared to the second quarter of 415 mw, rose 5%, year-on-year in the third quarter of 2017, 265 mw, is increased by 64%. As at the end of the third quarter of this year, India photovoltaic roof cumulative installed more than 2. 8GW。
in the third quarter of 2018, installed solar pv projects accounted for 73%, roof projects accounted for about 27%.
Mercom said that due to the bidding and auction activity slowing last year, so the capacity decline was not surprising. In addition, unclear protective tariffs, consumption tax, land, and electricity transmission and other problems that affected the pv installed.
by the end of the third quarter of 2018, India pv cumulative installed about 26 gw, including large photovoltaic projects accounted for 89%, roof projects accounted for 11%.
Mercom full-year 2018 Indian photovoltaic power is expected at about 8 gw.
