Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Neither 1 nor 2. ● Every solar panel which is made in India is assembled while all the material comes from China, Europe and some other countries. India is yet to develop semiconductor clusters. ● CERC determines solar power tariffs and regulates the tariff of generating companies owned or controlled by the Central Government. ● SECI has a power-trading license, but it does not set solar power tariffs.
