A year back, I had given a 10 minute speech at Intersolar India on the real challenge for rooftop solar.
Some of my co-speakers felt I had hit the nub, while some others felt I was being pessimistic.
After I finish my post here, you decide which camp you belong to.

Small-medium companies that are existing business keen on solar power, but not well versed with putting up MW solar power plants
Individuals (usually […]

How could this be? – we asked among ourselves. Perhaps Sun Edison is quoting an unsustainable price?, wondered many; while a humbler few said – perhaps Sun Edison knows something […]
