Reflecting on My Visit to the Renewable Energy India Expo (REI), Greater Noida (3-5 Oct, 2024)
I had the pleasure of attending the Renewable Energy India Expo in Greater Noida, where exhibitors from across the entire PV power plant value chain were present. From solar modules to trackers, SCBs, cables, BESS, SCADA, WMS stations, and more, it was encouraging to witness the immense interest from the solar community.
On the PV module front, it was clear that TOPCon technology is now going to be dominant in the market sooner than expected, with some HJT models also making an appearance. Interestingly, much of the information from different exhibitors seemed to overlap. If I were to compare it to cooking, it all depends on how good it has been cooked and the true test of quality only comes when you taste the final dish — in this case, evaluating the performance of these modules in the field.
A personal highlight of the expo was reconnecting with my Ph.D. advisor, Prof. Chetan, after a long time. It was great catching up as he inquired about the progress of his students, including myself. True to form, he was generous with his time, sharing valuable insights from his ongoing renewable and climate awareness yatra, emphasizing his AMG (Avoid, Minimize, and only then Generate) approach.
Overall, it was a productive and enriching experience, and I look forward to seeing the ongoing developments in the renewable energy sector.
