Solar Farm Business in India<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A ground-mounted solar farm on leased agricultural land is one of the least common clean energy business ventures that are available to any entrepreneur in India today, that has a unique blend of scale, predictability and passive income generation ability. The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a 25-year inflation-protected contract for a Rs.50 Crore investment in a 4-5 MW Solar Farm. Don’t have to be the land owner.<\/p>\n

The PM-KUSUM scheme organised by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) <\/a>has a specific category for promoting solar farms on the agricultural land, thereby enabling farmers to generate agricultural income from an agrivoltaic system while also leasing their land to solar developers. Tenders are tendered by SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India)<\/a> and NTPC Renewable Energy for MW scale solar projects in which the independent developers can participate.<\/p>\n
