Solar module costs have been spiraling for quite some time. As per the report, module costs have grown for the sixth consecutive quarter.
The quarter additionally witnessed the greatest QoQ increase in large-scale system prices by more than 10%, attributed to the surge in raw material and component costs.
Rajasthan remained the top state for the third consecutive quarter by adding 63% of the total large-scale solar installations in the nation. As of September 2021, the leading 10 states estimated approximately 96% of the nation's cumulative large-scale solar establishments.
