Centre urged to extend subsidy for battery systems to store solar power

Emphasising the value of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) successful the country’s cleanable vigor transition, A.P.J. Sheik Saleem, National Advisor of Solar-BESS Developers Association of India, connected Wednesday urged the Centre to present subsidies for artillery vigor retention systems.

Inaugurating the BESS Masterclass 2026, a grooming programme connected Battery Energy Storage Systems, present connected Wednesday, Mr. Saleem said BESS had an important relation successful achieving the country’s cleanable vigor and vigor information goals. While the state had made important advancement successful star vigor generation, large-scale adoption of artillery retention was indispensable to alteration consumers to store and utilise renewable vigor generated during the time for usage during non-generation hours.

The method sessions of the Masterclass were held nether Bhawani Singh Rathore, a renowned adept successful Battery Energy Storage Systems, covering strategy design, information standards, task implementation and emerging opportunities successful the vigor retention sector, according to a property merchandise from the association.

The inaugural league was presided implicit by K. Manikandan, president, Solar-BESS Developers Association of India. Ashok Rajkumar, wide secretary, and others spoke astatine the lawsuit attended by manufacture professionals, star developers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and renewable vigor stakeholders.
