The shocking Solar Goldmine that is Making India an Energy Superpower? : Solar Square | IBP EP 23
Indian Business Podcast episode (episode 23) in which host Raj Shamani of Think School speaks with Shreya Mishra, founder of SolarSquare, a residential rooftop solar company built over about 9 years. The episode is sponsored by SolarSquare. Shreya says India gets about 300 days of sun and that a kilowatt of rooftop solar produces roughly 1,400 units a year in India against about 1,000 in Germany. She says only around 1 percent of urban independent homes have adopted solar, and walks through why residential payback fell from about 8 years in 2015 to under 5, with commercial payback at 3 to 5 years. They also discuss government support, the cost gap between Indian and Chinese panels, and fire risk from poor quality installs. PARTIAL COVERAGE: the captions are auto-generated and the summary highlights only the sunshine advantage, adoption and payback figures, so other segments are not summarized. All figures are the speaker's own claims and are not independently verified. Nothing here is financial, legal or investment advice.
