Solar for world - Enlead Energy

GST Cut on Solar Components: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council has announced a major relief for renewable energy by reducing the GST on renewable energy equipment from 12% to 5% . This includes solar modules, solar cells, solar cookers, biogas plants, windmills, waste-to-energy devices, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, and more. The move is expected to lower equipment costs by nearly 7% , reducing the cost of installing rooftop solar plants by ₹3,000–₹4,000 per kilowatt . However, GST on installation services will remain unchanged at 18% . Boost for Renewable Energy The revised 5% GST rate is a significant step toward promoting solar energy in Kerala and across India . With India’s domestic solar module capacity reaching 100 GW , the government is working to strengthen local manufacturing, though reliance on imports for wafers and ingots remains. The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme worth ₹19,500 crore has faced delays, but the tax cut is expected to encourage adoption of...

Kerala, known as God’s Own Country , is not only blessed with natural beauty but also abundant sunshine. With an average of 250–300 sunny days per year , the state has immense potential for harnessing solar energy. As energy demands rise and electricity costs increase, solar in Kerala has become one of the most practical, affordable, and sustainable solutions for homes, businesses and industries. Why Solar Energy is the Future of Kerala Abundant Sunshine – Kerala receives high levels of solar radiation throughout the year, making solar power generation both efficient and cost-effective. Rising Electricity Costs  -With grid electricity becoming more expensive, solar panels in Kerala help households and businesses cut down electricity bills significantly. Government Incentives-  Programs under ANERT and MNRE provide subsidies and benefits for residential and commercial solar installations in Kerala. Sustainability Goals  -Shifting to renewable energy in Ker...
