As per industry reports, the realizable potential in India for solar generated from residential rooftops will be 35 GW by 2024; correspondingly for industrial and commercial rooftops the realizable potential in the next ten years is up to 41 GW.  These projections clearly indicate the growing importance and opportunity that the solar rooftop segment presents in the Indian context.

In this inaugural edition of the solar rooftop map for 2015, Tata Power Solar stands out as the market leader in industrial and commercial rooftop with a 15% market share and considerable lead over the rest of the players. Additionally in the residential rooftop segment, Tata Power Solar has been ranked #2 for cumulative residential rooftop projects with a market share of over 12%.

Commenting on the findings, Dr. Arul Shanmugasundram, EVP Projects and CTO, Tata Power Solar, said,

Solar rooftops have the potential to revolutionize India’s solar scene. Over the last few years we have aggressively focused on this space, having installed more than 40 MW of rooftop and distributed generation projects. It is great to see an industry-wide effort in recognizing and mapping this space, and we are pleased to be acknowledged for our efforts.

In the solar rooftop space, Tata Power Solar has completed several prestigious projects, including commissioning of the largest rooftop solar plant in South India of 2 MW for Murugan Textiles – the largest power loom producer in India. Additionally, the company commissioned 3 MW of solar rooftop projects in Gujarat.

These included a 1.2 MW plant for Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA), a 750 kW plant for Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) and 1.1 MW for corporates, engineering companies, pharmaceutical units, commercial complexes and the food industry.
