• IESA was launched in 2012 with following objectives:
• To promote Energy Storage Solutions in India
• Assess the market potential of Energy Storage Solutions (ESS) in India
• Brainstorming with various key stakeholders, on policy matters
• Raise awareness about ESS in Indian industry, government and power sector
• To assist ESS technology, product, services and system integration companies to strategize and grow
Our vision is to make India a global hub for deployment and
manufacturing of Energy Storage & Microgrids
• In most of the states rooftop solar has already reached grid parity for C&I
customers with accelerated depreciation
• In many cases where there are significant power cuts in commercial and industrial
sector, saving in diesel costs can also become an important driver for adoption of
rooftop solar.

Grid parity status for residential consumers
Diesel price
• For residential consumers, in most states grid tariff is much lower than Solar PV levelized costs, so
further innovation and cost reductions are required for large scale adoption without subsidies.

• Delhi’s first grid-connected rooftop solar
• 15 kW Solar roof top
• Electricity bill reduced by 50%.
• The rooftop at his place is 15 kW installation partly connected to the grid and partly off-
grid.
• Offline power recharges the batteries which have a power back up of 8 hrs.
With TOD policies and infrastructure for charging at public transport
hubs/office areas, EV charging can help in integrating distributed solar
With the anticipated roll
out of 6 million +
electric vehicles this
problem can either be
solved or further
aggravate.
Without proper policy
framework and vehicle
charging infrastructure,
evening charging of
vehicles can increase the
peak loads during 6 – 10
PM
Challenges of grid integration of 100 GW solar
Case study: Solar PV for EV charging
• Mahindra launched solar powered EV
charging capabilities in 2013 as Sun2Car
• Has demonstrated charging stations for
Mahindra REVA E2O with options for DC
solar charging , Solar charging with grid
and solar + grid + storage
• Tata Power Solar installed solar vehicle
charging station at Gujarat Sachivalaya in
2015
• The pilot project consists of a custom-
designed 50 kW solar charging station
• Six electric vehicles with integrated solar
panels for charging on.
• The charging station comes with an
energy storage facility, to provide night-
time charging.
• Excess generated electricity will also be
fed back to the local grid.

Microgrid Initiative for Campus & Rural Opportunities (MICRO)
MICRO has set up goal of reducing cost of electricity from microgrids by 30-50% with in next
3 years.
Microgrids can be critical for meeting the goal of providing 24*7 energy access to all citizens
by 2019.
India has over 300 million people currently not connected to grid and another 300 million
people who get less than 8 hours of electricity per day.
