📗 #TERIResearch  TERI is pleased to share its latest report, “Responsible Agri-PV Baseline Assessment" — Khare Energy Plant, Madhya Pradesh. This study evaluates a farmer-led agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) pilot under the PM-KUSUM scheme, highlighting how decentralized solar systems can be integrated with ongoing agricultural practices to generate reliable, dual-income streams. Key Insights from the Study:  ✅ Coexistence in Practice: Agriculture continues alongside solar with minimal disruption, supporting dual land use ✅ Farmer-led Deployment & Revenue: Strengthens livelihoods, with solar providing stable income alongside seasonal farm earnings ✅ Operational Realities: Performance depends on grid connectivity, utilization, and O&M practices ✅ Financial Viability: Constrained by high upfront costs, limited affordable finance, and tariff adequacy under PM-KUSUM ✅ Resource & Land Efficiency: Shading affects water use and microclimate, while combined outputs improve overall land productivity Access the report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2THrpeN Manish Khare I Navin Khare I AK Saxena | Er.
