Kenyan Government 40 MWp Kisumu Solar Plant
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced to start of the construction work of a solar photovoltaic power plant in Kisumu. The 40 MWp Kisumu Solar One Park will be built in Kibos on 100 hectares of land donated by the government.
The Kenyan government has confirmed the solar plant implementation agreement with Ergon Solair Africa, the subsidiary of the US-based Ergon Solair PBC. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) of Kenya issued the authorization for the construction of the 40 MWp plant to the US company in 2020.
The Kisumu Solar One power plant will cost around Kshs 6.4 billion (US$53.6 million) and is expected to become operational by December 2023. The electricity produced by the solar PV plant will be sold to Kenya Power (KPLC) under a power purchase agreement. The plant will be connected to the national grid via a 220 kV substation located near it.
The rooftop solar plant consists of 3,334 solar panels and was built by Premier Solar Solutions. The Kenyan subsidiary of Starsight Premier Energy Group constructed the project on behalf of Solarise Africa. United Aryan and Solarise Africa signed a PPA under which the textile company is expected to pay a lease fee for the solar photovoltaic plant.
Ronoh called for net-metering against fears of renewed blackouts in Kenya where the government last month mandated a reduction in the price of grid electricity, from $0.18 to $0.15. The solar EPC director said utilities would be unable to generate power at the new lower rate, hampering reliability and network investment. If blackouts are the result, Kenya's need for net-metering to drive rooftop solar would only become more pressing, Ronoh said, adding he expects the East African nation to hit 100MW of rooftop commercial and industrial (C&I) solar generation capacity this year.

Solar Business Opportunities
The growing demand for green energy has made solar products more relevant in present times. The following are some of the recognized and undeveloped prospects for the solar energy business in India:
- Solar Projects to Develop and Own
You can also continue to work on your solar projects. All you have to do now is assemble a team of experts in solar energy and equipment. Utilize your previous experience executing solar projects by developing and implementing a solid business plan, acquiring funds, and finally constructing it. - Consultants for Solar Projects
During the solar installation project, you will be expected to supervise, monitor, and offer recommendations as a consultant. You'll be in charge of guiding clients through the whole solar installation procedure. You can either work for yourself or for a consulting firm. - Auditing of Solar Energy
This opportunity is for people who have a deep understanding of the energy situation and how to meet energy demands. This is a prerequisite for anyone interested in having solar panels installed on their property. Starting this business requires a small investment. An auditor can act as a salesperson, promoting environmental conservation through the use of natural and renewable energy sources such as solar power, as well as advising clients on how to regulate and limit their energy consumption. - Solar Product Distribution
In India, starting a distribution company in the solar energy sector could be a great business opportunity. Once you've discovered a reputable solar product manufacturer in your area, you'll need to find distributors. Then you can start trading and making money.
The Future of Solar Energy considers only the two widely recognized classes of technologies for converting solar energy into electricity — photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), sometimes called solar thermal) — in their current and plausible future forms.
We concentrate on the use of grid-connected solar-powered generators to replace conventional sources of electricity. For the more than one billion people in the developing world who lack access to a reliable electric grid, the cost of small-scale PV generation is often outweighed by the very high value of access to electricity for lighting and charging mobile telephone and radio batteries. In addition, in some developing nations it may be economic to use solar generation to reduce reliance on imported oil, particularly if that oil must be moved by truck to remote generator sites.
Now, with solar photovoltaic technology becoming more and more affordable, scalable and accessible, that dream is getting closer to reality.
This online course looks at solar PV in depth, examining its potential for today and the near future, exploring the technical challenges, and assessing the commercial opportunities.
It offers you an unparalleled insight into the global solar power market, and will give you the knowledge and practical details to shape and lead the future of solar energy.

Lithium-ion battery sector
The major guidelines proposed by this department - The minimum requirement for installation of a public charging station must include exclusive transformer, 33/11 kV lines, proper civil works, and appropriate liquid cooled cables. Moreover, the public charging stations must be tested by respective authorities before operation.
The availability of suitable charging sites is great concerned. The estimate of EV supply hardware essential at assorted kinds of areas is proposed dependent on a charging technique. Both convenience and physical concerns should be considered for effective charging stations.
Keeping the above mentioned opportunities in the EV market, AEVT has designed Entrepreneurship Development Programme on Electric Vehicle Charging Station so as to provide overview of the EV ecosystem and the systematic approach on planning, and execution of EV charging infrastructure.
In 'white gold' rush, India kick-starts talks with lithium-rich nations
Jammu and Kashmir's reserve might be present with a large amount of lithium, but the current amount is insufficient to match with the world's top reserves of Lithium. For India to become self-reliant in the field of solar energy storage and EV manufacturing without being dependent on China for EV battery supplies, it is important to own more such Lithium reserves and enhance its presence in overseas lithium mines.
Solar lighting system operates on electricity from batteries, charged through the use of solar photovoltaic panels. It is composed of a battery, solar panel, LED lamp, and charge controller. The stored energy is collected in a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery used later to produce lighting at night. The rapid infrastructure development in all sectors of India is pushing local solar light manufacturers to compete and deliver innovative solar lighting products at low prices to increase their presence in the market.
