It is encouraging to see people taking to rooftop solar installations, especially for heating water. Though still affordable only to middle/upper-middle class, the recent incentives announced by the government will go some way to make adoption even more widespread.
Apart from independence from a state-run grid, this also relieves the state from having to build more power plants. The resulting spare capacity, and the seemingly successful UMPP, has the potential to fix India's power situation within a decade.
A larger incentive for adoption would be some ability to earn revenue from such installations either by feeding excess back to the grid or a way to store/transmit power to neighbors without expensive installations.
With solar installation prices set to fall further, Indian can realistically hope to see sunnier days ahead.
