India to Boost Agrivoltaics with New Policy

• India is creating a policy to promote agrivoltaics, which combines solar energy and agriculture on the same land.
• Around 30% of India's 160 million hectares of cropland has potential for agrivoltaics.
• India's agrivoltaic capacity is expected to exceed 5 gigawatts in the next 3-4 years.
• The policy aims to enhance farmers' income by integrating solar energy generation with agricultural activities.
• The expected growth in agrivoltaic capacity depends on state enthusiasm and the ability to quickly implement a feed-in tariff.
