[zvaigzdelasas]

Millions of solar panels are piling up in warehouses across the Continent because of a manufacturing battle in China, where cut-throat competition has driven the world’s biggest panel-makers to expand production far faster than they can be installed.

The supply glut has caused solar panel prices to halve. This sounds like great news for the EU, which recently pledged to triple its solar power capacity to 672 gigawatts by 2030. That’s roughly equivalent to 200 large nuclear power stations.

In reality, though, it has caused a crisis. Under the EU’s “Green Deal Industrial Plan”, 40pc of the panels to be spread across European fields and roofs were meant to be made by European manufacturers.

However, the influx of cheap Chinese alternatives means that instead of tooling up, manufacturers are pulling out of the market or becoming insolvent. Last year 97pc of the solar panels installed across Europe came from China.[...]

The best estimates suggest that about 90 gigawatts worth of solar panels are stashed around Europe. That solar power capacity roughly equates to 25 large nuclear power stations the size of Hinkley Point C.[...]

The sheer scale of the problem was revealed in a recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

It warned that although the world was installing at record rates of around 400 gigawatts a year, manufacturing capacity was growing far faster.

By the end of this year solar panel factories, mostly in China, will be capable of churning out 1,100 gigawatts a year – nearly three times more than the world is ready [sic] for. For comparison, that’s about 11 times [!!!!] the UK’s entire generating capacity.

For some solar power installers, it’s a dream come true. Sagar Adani is building solar farms across India’s deserts, with 54 in operation and another 12 being built.

His company, Adani Green Energy, is constructing one solar farm so large that it will cover an area five times the size of Paris and have a capacity of 30 gigawatts – equal to a third of the UK’s entire generating capacity.

“I am installing tens of millions of solar panels across these projects,” says Adani. “Almost all of them will have been imported from China. There is nowhere else that can supply them in such numbers or at such prices.

“China saw the opportunity before others, it looked forward to what the world is going to set up 10 years on. And because they scaled up in the way they did, they were able to reduce costs substantially as well.”

That scaling up meant the capital cost of installing solar power fell from around £1.25m per megawatt of generating capacity in 2015 to around £600,000 today – a decrease of more than 50pc – making it cheaper than almost any other form of generation, including wind.[...]

“Up to 2012 there was a healthy looking European solar panel industry but it was actually very reliant on subsidies and preferential treatment.

“But then European governments and other customers started buying from China because their products were so much cheaper. And China still has cheap labour and cheap energy plus a massive domestic market. It’s hard to see Europe recovering from those disadvantages.”

Trying sososo hard to make this sound like a bad thing [23 Mar 24]

[reasonsforhope]

"Passed in February [2024], a massive subsidy program to help Indian households install rooftop solar panels in their homes and apartments aims to provide 30 gigawatt hours of solar power to the nation’s inventory.

The scheme, called PM-Surya Ghar, will provide free electricity to 10 million homes according to estimates, and the designing of a national portal—a sort of Healthcare.gov for solar panels—will streamline the process of installation and payment.

The program was cooked up because India had fallen woefully behind on its planned installations for rooftop solar. In many parts of the subcontinent, the sun is absolutely brutal and relentless, but by 2022, Indian rooftop solar power generation topped out at 11 gigawatts, which was 29 gigawatts under a national target set a decade ago.

Part of the challenge, Euronews reports, is that approval from various agencies and departments—as many as 21 different signatures in some cases—was needed to place a solar array on your house. Aside from this bureaucratic nightmare, the cost of installation was often higher than $5,000; more than half the average yearly income for a working Indian urbanite.

Under PM-Surya Ghar, subsidies for a 2-kilowatt solar array will cover as much as 60% of the installation costs, falling to 40% for arrays 3 kilowatts or higher. Loans set at around 7% interest rates will help families in need get started. 750 billion Indian rupees, or $9 billion has been set aside for the project.

Even in New Delhi, which can be covered in clouds and smog for days, solar users report saving hundreds during summer time on their electricity costs, with one apartment shaving $700 every month off energy bills.

PM-Surya Ghar is also seen as having the potential to cause a boom in the Indian solar market. Companies no longer have to go running around for planning and permitting requirements, and the government subsidies ensure their customer base can grow beyond the limits of household income."

Salt pan mining was heavily reliant on diesel, but a subsidy to encourage use of solar pumps has cut emissions and the cost of mining. Photograph: Ahmad Masood/Reuters

In October, as the monsoon recedes and the flooded salt pans dry out, farmers and their families hop on to trucks and tractors to migrate to the Little Rann of Kutch in Kutch district, Gujarat, where they pitch tarpaulin shelters and begin mining the underground deposits.

An estimated 10,000 families of farmers, known as agariyas in Gujarati, migrate to the marshes from across the state. They start each season by digging wells to pump out brine using diesel pumps; the brine is then poured into shallow, squarish plots carved on the salt pans and left to evaporate under the sun to produce salt crystals. These marshes produce 30% of India’s inland salt, typically table salt.

Life in the salt marshes is uniquely challenging. Drinking water comes not from pipes but tankers, children attend schools inside buses not buildings, and the only avenue to healthcare is weekly mobile vans from the health department. Basic amenities such as an electricity grid and toilets are nonexistent.

Diesel constitutes nearly 65% of the input costs in salt farming, and about 1,800 litres of the fuel is needed to produce 750 tonnes of salt

Introduction of solar panels to the pans has triggered a significant shift in the lives and lifestyles of the impoverished salt workers.

In 2017, the Gujarat government gave solar pumps to salt farmers at nearly 80% subsidy, as part of a larger push to cut emissions and bring down the costs involved in salt production.

“Solar-powered pumps have reduced the cost of salt farming to one-third of what it was”

With more than 5,500 solar-powered pumps now dotting the region, energy costs have fallen to about 90 rupees to produce one tonne of salt from more than 300 rupees before, according to local campaigners. The agariyas such as Mandviya are no longer as dependent on the capital from traders, which gives them greater negotiating power over salt prices.

Solar pumps and the financial stability they grant have improved access to health, education and mobility, while also offering freedom to salt farmers from an endless work cycle, campaigners say.

“Steady supply from the solar panels is powering not only pumps but also televisions. Children of salt makers are switching to state-run ‘edutainment’ programmes to make up for the loss of education,” says Bhavna Harchandani, a research scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, who has tracked the agariyacommunity as part of her studies. The panels offer rare shade for men to relax during breaks, giving women a few moments of privacy in their makeshift homes, she adds.

Soda Ash Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

 Soda Ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is a critical industrial chemical widely utilized in sectors such as glass manufacturing, detergents, chemicals, and water treatment. Its prices are influenced by a dynamic interplay of factors, including raw material costs, energy prices, global demand, and supply chain dynamics. Over recent years, the soda ash market has experienced notable fluctuations, reflecting the evolving landscape of the global economy and the specific needs of its end-use industries.

The glass manufacturing industry, which consumes nearly half of the global soda ash production, is a primary driver of demand. This sector’s growth is closely tied to urbanization, infrastructure development, and increasing construction activities worldwide. As a result, any uptrend in glass production, particularly in emerging markets like India and Southeast Asia, typically exerts upward pressure on soda ash prices. Conversely, periods of stagnation or downturns in construction and automotive industries often result in diminished demand, potentially causing price corrections.

Get Real Time Prices for Soda Ash: https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/soda-ash-76

On the supply side, the production of soda ash is energy-intensive, making its pricing highly sensitive to energy costs. Natural gas and electricity are crucial inputs for manufacturing, and price surges in these energy sources can escalate the cost of production. Additionally, environmental regulations and carbon taxes in certain regions have further impacted production costs, particularly in countries striving to reduce their carbon footprint. Such regulatory pressures have driven some producers to adopt more sustainable practices, though these changes often entail significant capital investments, which can influence market prices.

The rise of synthetic soda ash production, as opposed to natural soda ash, has added another layer of complexity to the market. Synthetic soda ash, derived through the Solvay process, tends to have higher production costs compared to naturally occurring sources like trona. However, synthetic soda ash offers greater consistency in quality, which appeals to certain industries. As production shifts and manufacturers strategize to optimize their operational costs, the supply dynamics between synthetic and natural soda ash continue to impact market trends and price stability.

Global sustainability initiatives and the shift toward renewable energy have also started influencing soda ash prices indirectly. The push for cleaner energy and environmentally friendly practices has increased the demand for glass used in solar panels and energy-efficient windows, indirectly supporting the soda ash market. Furthermore, as industries adopt circular economy practices, the recycling of glass may marginally reduce new soda ash demand, although the overall impact is yet to become significant.

Seasonal factors and inventory levels also contribute to periodic price fluctuations. During certain times of the year, production slowdowns due to maintenance schedules or adverse weather conditions can tighten supply, causing temporary price hikes. Conversely, periods of oversupply or weaker-than-expected demand can lead to price softening as producers seek to clear inventories.

China, as one of the largest producers and consumers of soda ash, plays a central role in determining global price trends. Any policy changes, such as export restrictions or adjustments to domestic production quotas, can significantly ripple through international markets. For instance, government-imposed restrictions on energy usage in China have previously curtailed soda ash production, limiting exports and boosting prices in other regions reliant on Chinese supply.

Technological advancements in manufacturing processes have also contributed to shaping the cost dynamics of soda ash. Companies investing in more energy-efficient production technologies or alternative raw materials may achieve cost savings, enabling them to offer competitive pricing. This has led to an increasingly diversified market where producers adopt different strategies to balance cost-efficiency and environmental compliance.

In recent months, the soda ash market has seen a moderate recovery following pandemic-related disruptions, with prices stabilizing in many regions. However, uncertainties remain, particularly regarding the global economic outlook and the ongoing volatility in energy markets. The alignment of production capacities with evolving demand patterns will continue to be a key factor in maintaining price stability.

Looking ahead, the soda ash market is likely to witness continued growth, driven by demand from renewable energy applications and other emerging uses. However, achieving balance in supply and demand will require careful management of production capacities, investments in sustainable practices, and adaptations to shifting consumer needs. By addressing these challenges, the industry can navigate price volatility while ensuring long-term resilience and profitability.

Embrace Affordable Solar Energy with PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana

The increasing fuel prices have forced sky-rocketing electricity prices now, prompting many consumers to find other energy sources. Sunny Solar India will provide a new road to success under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. The public sector under the leader of the government will try out a new idea of cutting solar plant constructions and providing them grants to households. Solar rooftop yojana is a much larger program but this one gives a perfect practical side to homeowners by allowing them to install solar systems, generate their own electricity, and even get free electricity.

But what is this scheme all about, and how can it help you reduce your energy bills? The promise of the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana has the potential to change your rooftop into a solar power generator. Let us delve deeper into this.

What is the PM Surya Ghar Mutf Bijli Yojana?

The PM Surya Ghar Mutf Bijli Yojana has been launched to support the development of rooftop PV panels for households at subsidized costs in the scope of the national solar program. The scheme's core goal is to ensure that people have free electricity through solar energy, and it will help India to become a more environmentally friendly and sustainable country. Besides, government funding is making the installation of solar panels quite affordable to an average Indian consumer rather than remaining the sole benefit of wealthy households that can afford renewable energy.

The program is the cornerstone of the overall PM rooftop solar initiative which gives incentives for a solar power facility in residential areas. Due to their self-producing capability, they can reduce their reliance on external electricity providers significantly. Additionally, the scheme makes use of net metering, which makes it possible for households to transmit the less utilized power they generate to the grid and thus is credited to their consumption.

Key Features of Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana

Subsidies and Financial Aid: The government covers a large portion of installation costs, making solar more affordable. These subsidies are especially beneficial for smaller systems, such as those with a 3kW capacity, making it feasible for typical households to shift to solar energy without a huge upfront investment.

Net Metering Benefits: A unique feature of the solar rooftop yojana is net metering. When you generate more electricity than you need, it’s fed back into the grid. For this contribution, you get credit that reduces your electricity bill further. Effectively, you’re being rewarded for your excess energy!

Clean and Sustainable Energy: Solar energy is one of the cleanest energy sources. By adopting it through the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, households contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions, helping India move closer to its sustainability goals.

How Does PM Solar Rooftop Yojana Work?

The PM solar rooftop yojana functions in a straightforward manner. Here’s how it works:

Solar Panel Installation: Solar panels are installed on your rooftop, capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity. This generated power is used to run household appliances, lights, and other electricity-dependent devices.

Reduced Dependence on Grid Electricity: Since you’re generating power on-site, your reliance on traditional grid electricity decreases. This reduces your monthly electricity costs significantly, especially during sunny months when solar generation is at its peak.

Net Metering: If your panels produce more energy than you use, the excess power is fed back into the grid. With net metering, this surplus energy is “sold” back to the grid, effectively reducing your future bills or even resulting in credits.

Eligibility for PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana

Not all households are automatically eligible, so here are the main requirements for those interested:

Homeownership and Rooftop Access: The scheme is aimed at property owners with rooftops suitable for solar panel installations. Urban and rural residents alike are eligible, provided their rooftops receive ample sunlight.

Residential Use: This Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is designed for households rather than businesses. The program focuses on supporting families in generating their own energy, bringing solar benefits to every neighborhood.

Commitment to Solar Energy: Households willing to transition to clean energy can apply. This scheme is ideal for families that want to reduce their energy bills and help build a sustainable future.

How to Apply for PM Solar Rooftop Yojana

Applying for the PM solar rooftop yojana is straightforward. Here’s a guide to getting started:

Check Your Eligibility: Ensure you meet basic criteria, such as owning the property where the solar panels will be installed.

Choose an Approved Vendor: The government has designated specific vendors to install solar panels under this scheme. Selecting an approved provider ensures that you’ll receive quality service and enjoy the full benefits of the subsidy.

Submit Your Application: You can apply through your state’s designated DISCOM or a certified solar energy provider. You’ll need to submit basic details, including proof of ownership, and provide measurements of your rooftop.

Installation and Setup: Once your application is approved, the chosen vendor will handle the installation. They’ll also assist with any required paperwork for net metering, so you can benefit from sending surplus energy back to the grid.

Start Generating Power: With your solar panels in place, you’ll immediately start generating your own electricity. The benefits will show on your next bill as your grid dependence decreases.

Benefits of Installing Solar Panels Through PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana

The advantages of the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana are substantial, especially for those who want to lower costs and be part of India’s clean energy journey.

Cost Savings: One of the main benefits is the reduction in electricity bills. Generating your own power with on grid solar panels minimizes your reliance, meaning fewer expenses month after month. The potential for free electricity is achievable with sufficient solar output.

Environmental Impact: By opting for solar energy, households help reduce the nation’s reliance on fossil fuels. Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source, so making the switch also reduces your carbon footprint.

Long-Term Financial Benefits: Solar panels have an average lifespan of 20 to 25 years, providing decades of savings. After installation costs are covered, the electricity generated is essentially free. With government subsidies through the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the initial cost barrier is significantly reduced.

Net Metering Credits: With net metering, excess electricity can be returned to the grid for credits. This means you’re not only saving on energy costs but also potentially earning credit on your electricity bill, which can offset future energy expenses.

Conclusion

The Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana provides an excellent opportunity for Indian households to embrace solar energy affordably. With the support of subsidies and the benefits of net metering, solar power can truly become a cost-effective solution for everyday power needs. For anyone looking to reduce electricity costs and be part of a sustainable future, this scheme is the ideal option. By applying for the PM solar rooftop yojana, households can enjoy the advantages of renewable energy, contribute to environmental preservation, and potentially enjoy “muft bijli” for years to come.
