Sellers and analysts warn that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to accelerate the deployment of solar panels on home rooftops are not achieving the desired goals, despite significant financial support. Experts point out that structural barriers hinder the mass adoption of the technology. Many households face high upfront costs, even with subsidies. Additionally, there are issues with grid connectivity and a lack of awareness about solar energy benefits. "Despite government support, the adoption rate of solar panels remains low," said one analyst. The government plans to review the program to improve its effectiveness.
