The Role of Solar Energy in Achieving India’s Net Zero Goals

India has set an ambitious goal: achieve Net Zero emissions by 2070. Solar energy is expected to play a leading role in reaching this target. As one of the world’s largest solar markets, India is uniquely positioned to leverage its abundant sunlight to transition away from fossil fuels.

Large-scale utility solar plants and rooftop systems are both part of the solution. Utility projects can deliver gigawatts of clean energy to the grid, while distributed rooftop systems empower individuals and businesses to generate their own power. Together, these approaches can drastically cut carbon emissions.

The Indian government has introduced a range of initiatives, including subsidies, Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, and net metering policies, to accelerate solar adoption. These measures make solar financially attractive for both residential and commercial users.

At Shiroi Energy, we’re proud to be part of this nationwide movement. Each project we complete brings India one step closer to its Net Zero vision. By choosing solar, you’re not just saving money – you’re actively participating in a global effort to fight climate change.

As we approach 2030, when India aims to reach 500 GW of renewable capacity, every installation counts. There has never been a more critical time to act.
