Andrew Hines, Co-founder of CleanMax Solar, a leading rooftop solar company in India, said, “Besides the availability and cost of land, there are two sets of factors and criteria for site selection, like physical characteristics, including solar irradiation at the site, along with topography, and soil type. The second would be power evacuation, i.e. the proximity to a substation, which can accommodate the solar power that would be generated.
