It’s been three alluring years with you all, with this September Issue, we are celebrating our 3rd Anniversary. We surely want to express our deep gratitude to everyone who has been with us through thick and thin in all these years of our journey. We want to thank our writers, our interviewee’s, our team and our readers for offering us your support is in the form of providing us with articles or be it in the form of interviews or subscriptions. We really appreciate the amount of support we’ve got from our authors and readers across the country sending their articles, research works, ideas, experiences and suggestions. However, to encourage India to adopt renewable energy, the first step has to be the boosting of the domestic manufacturing sector. The Government needs to implement adequate policies to aid the solar manufacturers in the country to bridge the rising demand supply gap and produce the best in-class modules at a reasonable pricing. Also, imposition of customs duty on foreign products especially China is the need of the hour to uplift the sector in India. With the requisites in place, the Indian solar manufacturing segment holds maximum potential to pose as the most competitive green energy hub in the world and fulfill the growing appetite of the global market. On this 3rd anniversary issue, the time has come to reflect the insights of country’s renewable sector and below, we’ve gathered stories for and concerning sectors like Renewable energy, Green energy, rooftop & offgrid, smart cities, solar & battery storage and much more, their market size, significant potential and challenges in the industry. With all this we’ve gathered the inputs of some industry leaders and their take on the industry. Happy Reading… Please give us your feedback at editor@renewablemirror.com For more details check out our Website www.renewablemirror. com & you can also visit our facebook page www.facebook.in/ renewablemirror
