Sunkonnect, a global leader in sustainability consulting, announced a major milestone for its distributed energy platform Sunsol Cleantech, unveiling plans to support the deployment of over 14 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity by 2030 across India.
The initiative aims to deliver 5,000 targeted projects, including rooftop, captive, open-access, and utility-scale installations, representing a significant 5% of India’s national goal to achieve 280 GW of solar power by the end of the decade.
India’s clean energy landscape has transformed dramatically in recent years, with non-fossil energy sources now constituting over 50% of the country’s installed electricity capacity as of April 2026. Solar energy, in particular, has been the driving force behind this shift, with national solar capacity surging more than fifty-fold in just over a decade, from a modest 2.8 GW in 2014 to an impressive 150 GW today. Now, with the government’s new target of 280 GW solar by 2030, Sunsol’s large-scale, distributed approach is set to play a pivotal role in turning this vision into reality.
Sunsol is designed to empower India’s transition to distributed solar energy by providing a single-window platform for rooftop and on-ground solar installations. The company’s mission is to make solar accessible, reliable, and impactful for commercial, industrial, and residential consumers alike. With a focus on both urban and rural deployment, Sunsol’s over 14 GW target will be achieved through a carefully planned rollout of 5,000 projects nationwide.
Nitish Kumar, Managing Director, Sunsol Cleantech, said, “At Sunsol, our goal is to be a catalyst in India’s clean energy transformation by supporting more than 14 GW of solar deployment by 2030. This is about more than just numbers; it’s about delivering real impact to the nation’s energy security, affordability, and sustainability. We are committed to ensuring every project upholds the highest standards of quality, transparency, and performance for our customers and partners.”
Sunsol’s ambitious program is underpinned by the proven expertise of Sunkonnect, its parent group headquartered in Singapore. Since 2019, Sunkonnect has completed over 5 GW of renewable energy projects in partnership with more than 20 major industry players across India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and beyond. The company’s team of 200+ skilled professionals brings expertise in solar, green hydrogen, waste-to-energy, energy storage, and electric mobility.
Sunkonnect’s services span technical audits, project management, engineering design, quality assurance, and asset optimisation. Sunsol customers benefit from proprietary quality protocols, comprehensive lifecycle management, and digital monitoring tools that maximise plant reliability and returns.
The Sunsol platform will deliver distributed solar solutions tailored to the unique needs of diverse customer segments, from corporate entities and independent power producers to renewable energy developers and impact investors. Each project is executed with stringent technical standards and a focus on maximising environmental and economic benefits.
By integrating best-in-class engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) with digital analytics and operational excellence, Sunsol aims to set new benchmarks for solar project delivery in India. The 5,000 planned projects will help commercial and residential users cut energy costs, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen grid resilience.
