India’s model solar villages point to next phase of distributed PV growth

The pv magazine article frames model solar villages as part of the next phase of India’s solar journey after a decade of rapid utility-scale deployment. India has shown it can add solar capacity at scale and at competitive costs, but rural distributed PV can broaden the benefits through local energy access, lower bills and new community income streams. For developers and policymakers, the signal is that decentralized solar may become more important as the national market matures beyond large project pipelines.
