Why rural diesel replacement is such a LARGE OPPORTUNITY. Decent quality and stepped-up power remain a distant dream for most Micro enterprises in agrarian states such as UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha. Most micro-enterprises in rural areas of these states are using diesel as their main source of energy. Solar installations today are an incredibly attractive solution for the energy needs of these micro-enterprises in rural India. Estimated opportunity is over 9 GWs, and $6bn just in the 4 states mentioned above, however, availability of financing is the single most important hurdle for this market to take off. $98bn solar financing opportunity overall.
