Grabbing the opportunities presented by the solar policy ofthe recently merged UTs, that makes it mandatory for industrial units to install rooftop solar plants, Evenly spread across Daman, these projects are scheduled to be commissioned by the end of the current financial year. Hartek Solar Director and CEO Simarpreet Singh said, “While Daman & Diu has close to 3,000 small-scale and medium-scale industries, Dadra & Nagar Haveli is home to more than 2,000 small-scale units, 500 medium-scale units and 28 largescale enterprises. ”
So as to accelerate the adoption of rooftop solar in Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy had embarked on a big campaign for rooftop solar marketaggregation last year. “Focused on reaching out to consumers, creating visibility for policies and vendor base for rooftop solar PV plants, these demand aggregation initiatives, have made a big difference in making industrial consumers realise how rooftop solar can substantially reduce their electricity bills,” said Simarpreet.
