ISA to create Solar Innovation Ecosystem

International Solar Alliance (ISA) will create ecosystems for startups in solar innovations by enabling incubation, partnerships, access to finance and standards. It will also identify six star centres of global excellence.

A global leadership Task Force has been created, which is meant for bringing about transformative action across the world. With the help of global corporates, ISA expects transformative action to be undertaken on ground, resulting in access to light for the 1 billion unconnected people.

Task Force will be the key driver in initiating large-scale solar transformation in all the member countries. It will support the creation of local strategy and capacity to overcome challenges of new policy, technology, financing and execution in each country.

This is a private sector-led task force under ISA to promote innovation in the areas such as solar finance, technologies and applications. Solar innovation will be the fulcrum of ISA as only innovation can widen and deepen solar applications to ensure universal, affordable and reliable energy access.

The task force will further aid in developing a proper innovation strategy to address challenges faced by the member countries and partner countries of ISA.
