SunEdison to opt partnership for development of its future power projects
India: SunEdison; a major solar power
development firm has recently announced that they will opt for partnership
model to ease off its debt. The investments coming through partnership will
help the development of stalled solar energy projects worth USD 750 Million. the
company, by switching to partnership model aims to lower its debt burden

Solar Power Equipment Market Forecast &
Opportunities, 2020”, the solar power equipment market in India is projected to
surpass USD4 billion by 2020, wherein solar energy would be generated by
employing photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies
across the country. Constantly improving solar equipment technologies, advanced
manufacturing processes for production of hi-tech equipment and anticipated
decline in equipment prices is projected to further drive the solar equipment
market over the next five years.
