When talking about the current renewable sector in India, the biggest challenge is lack of education and awareness among the clients. Simultaneously, there exist quite a number of non technical and in experienced service providers who unfortunately mess up the image of Solar as a whole due to failures in performance. Pertaining to this competition, the market is becoming more like a commodity market and the price war is essentially hampering the quality where the ultimate sufferer is the end customer. For any quality conscious and proper technical service provider, it is becoming all the way more difficult to convince clients about the importance of better design, good quality BOM and best EPC practices when the comparison is only made on basis of price given by a non-technical competitor.
