The government of Kerala, India, has released a draft solar policy, effective 1 April 2013, having set itself a target of 500MW to be achieved by 2017 and 1,500MW by 2030.Policies have been laid out for off-grid rooftop systems, grid-connected small-scale systems, off-site generation, for example on wasteland, as well as off-shore generating plants, predominantly for solar thermal systems. A storage and Balance of Supply (BoS) programme will also be implemented.
The 10,000 rooftop solar programme was launched earlier this month by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and has been estimated to cost over INR175 crores (US$3.2 million).
