Indian Navy aims to set up 19 MW solar PV by 2018

In accordance with the national mission to achieve the target of 100 GW solar PV installation by 2022, Indian Navy will contribute with a target of 19 MW solar PV by 2018, in three phases. In addition to above, the Navy has pledged 1.5 per cent of its works budget, towards renewable energy generation. Under this programme, solar PV projects are being undertaken in Naval Stations across all Commands. Naval Stations, with scarce available land, have resorted to the innovative idea of deploying rooftop solar PV panels, to harness the solar energy.
