Sunkonnect, a global sustainability consulting firm, has announced a major expansion plan for its distributed energy platform Sunsol Cleantech, targeting the deployment of over 2 GW of solar capacity across India by 2030.
The initiative will encompass around 5,000 projects spanning rooftop, captive, open-access, and utility-scale solar installations. The programme is positioned to contribute nearly 5% toward India’s national target of 280 GW of solar capacity by the end of the decade.
India’s renewable energy sector has witnessed rapid growth, with non-fossil fuel sources now accounting for over half of the country’s installed electricity capacity as of April 2026. Solar power has been the primary driver of this transition, expanding from 2.8 GW in 2014 to around 150 GW today.
Under the new national roadmap, India aims to reach 280 GW of solar capacity by 2030, with Sunsol Cleantech focusing on accelerating distributed solar adoption across urban and rural markets. The platform is designed to streamline rooftop and ground-mounted solar deployment through a single-window model for commercial, industrial, and residential users.
According to the company, the rollout will be supported by Sunkonnect’s technical expertise and execution capabilities. Since 2019, the group has delivered over 5 GW of renewable energy projects across multiple Asian markets, including India, China, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
Sunkonnect’s capabilities span engineering, procurement, construction management, technical audits, quality assurance, and asset optimisation. The company stated that Sunsol customers will benefit from integrated lifecycle management systems and digital monitoring tools aimed at improving plant performance and reliability.
Executives noted that the 2 GW expansion strategy is intended to strengthen India’s energy transition by improving access to distributed solar solutions while reducing costs, emissions, and pressure on the national grid.
