Solar industry need government support

My opinion, various business models will have to be optioned. In some regions, populations will prefer power over their roofs, in other areas, possibly a centralized generation model. It all depends on the available infrastructure, the community finances. For starters, existing models focus on rooftop solar (self-generation), or a battery pack/product distribution model, which has been successful to begin, but unsure as a mid/long term solution (where a centralized, wired/wireless power distribution will be key). But its a good start nevertheless, with minimal government support from my understanding. With increased CSR in the new Cos Act, corporates will hopefully find favor in adopting entire villages, and participate in community development. What incentives should the govt provide? I don't agree to subsidy, but any eco/fin benefits should be welcome.

Firstly, let it be known that most power consumers (and you could be one of them) have enjoyed electricity from thermal sources (include diesel/kerosene) at huge discounts thru subsidy. Think that the issue to be addressed at first. 2ndly, by the time the budget announced AD, tariffs thru reverse auctions were already low at about 7.50/kwh (the first rounds being incentive to push start a brand new industry, and recent tariffs at about 5.59/6.50 which is very competitive to fossil power adjusted for subsidy. 3rdly, thanks to the Chinese you are able to pride yourself with those comments. left to the India manufacturers - solar cost would probably have remained at Rs 15/kwh w/o the benefits of economies of scale. There would be NO SOLAR POWER industry as a potential opportunity to compliment the traditional power, nor the credibility to meet international commitments our leaders have made on our behalf. The poor/needy are being supported from risks assumed by business...for a start there has to be a high risk/reward ratio. The benefits are witnessed in the wind industry over the years. not fully appreciable of your comments. Yes, govt/people need to support poverty development, but not at the cost of reducing the entire nation to poverty!
