Decentralised solar power is scripting thousands of success stories in rural India (scroll.in)

“Decentralised renewable energy comes as a reliable solution to these problems. It gives rural enterprises and communities reliable and cleaner power compared to the grid. Need to look beyond the initial investment. At the onset, it is expensive compared to diesel or grid-powered alternatives, but if we look at the operation part in the long run, it could be cheaper. The finance for capital is mostly through grants and subsidies that has helped low-income communities purchase these solutions. Many of the success stories in rural areas from those using decentralised renewable energy are encouraging others to switch to solar,” Concessao said.
