TRANSCRIPT
Theme: Mainstreaming solar: Towards pricing parity and improved technology
15th March, 2013 Venue: New Delhi, India
TM
India’s National Solar Mission aims to increase solar capacity from about 500 MW currently to 20,000 MW
of grid-connected solar by 2022. Amidst much applause for the policy push from the Prime Minister’s pet
project arise several questions about viability, pricing and costs, and thereby, about emerging research and
technology that can help reduce the costs and the price.
The Power Today Solar Conference aims to take the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) a
long way by untying the tricky knots that confront implementation of a good policy. It aims to take the route
of groupthink that would emerge out of a collective assembly of the implementing agency heads in the
central and state governments, industry leaders, policymakers, techies, researchers and innovators, and
independent analysts.

Basic participation fee for Indian delegates - ` 8000 + 12.36% Service Tax (Per Participant)
Basic participation fee for International Delegates - US$ 400
Special Discount for research and academic institutes
• Take stock of the learnings from phase one of the Mission (such as roadblocks to component imports)
• Realize why PV and other component manufacture in India has not exactly gone through the roof, and whether we need a limiting factor on imports
• Understand success stories (including Gujarat state’s ability to saturate itself with investments despite a miserly policy on subsidy)
• Discuss how India’s poor execution capabilities can be offset with technology
• Identify the inverse proportion between volumes and costs inherently built into JNNSM, and how governments can promote this natural advantage
• Understand projected timeline of converging prices between conventional and solar energy
• Discover the new technology inventions, technological innovations and R&D that’s happening around the world and is most relevant to Indian application
• Learn how volumes can be built up through various applications—rooftop, other retail, industrial and domestic—and how these can be enabled through tweaking the rewards slightly
• Help the government firm up execution of the impending phase two of JNNSM
• Network with the other who’s-whos of the solar world

Key topics to be discussed
MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND EFFECTS ON PROJECT COSTS
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN SOLAR
LEARNINGS FROM PHASE ONE OF THE NATIONAL SOLAR MISSION
Development of PV manufacture in IndiaStatus of solar component demand and supply: How the solar cells market has developedin India over the years; Why India continues to prefer imported components; What effect government support to domestic manufacture has had.
The Indian market: Scaling up volumes and impact on costs in India Lowering capital costs and land; Subsidies by government—a description; Why reduced subsidies will still mean reduced costs.
Grid parity and pricing of solarTrends in power pricing in India; Tending towards converging costs between coal-fired and solar, and the impacts of their intersection.
Shouting from the rooftops: Does localization bear the real potential?The government may extend RECs to rooftops. Is that when offgrid will truly take off in India and facilitate localized generation-distribution cycle? What does the industry think? Can the government be persuaded to hasten this decision? Scope in telecom tower application. Scope for “solar grids”.
The use of newer technologies in Indian solar industryStatus of R&D in India: Why has India been tardy on adoption of new PV and other technology? How has solar-thermal research fared in India? What new research has been applied in Indian solar installations? Status of market research on solar in India.
Engineering for efficiencyFocus on project management in solar industry; Design, procurement & construction issues in solar.
New developments in world solar technologyStatus of R&D across various applications—rooftop, thin film, nanotechnology, flexible solar cells.
The domestic manufacture boost: Government's efforts to lure solar makersThe policy of solar component import and manufacturing mandates for international players; How international manufacturers and project developers have reacted.
State of solar affairs: How Gujarat pushed for solarHow it all started in Gujarat; How Gujarat clinched the Clinton Solar Mission; Why players are swarming into Gujarat; Policy lessons from the government's firm no-subsidy stand.
What should be in store for phase two of National Solar Mission Grid parity, subsidies, costs, tariffs, RECs.
