The paper also offers recommendations for the above mentioned challenges and call for action including
the creation of a common Government-Industry vision to establish India as a PV world leader; development of effective financing infrastructure and models that will motivate large-scale PV adoption and investments in the PV industry; expanding the deployment of PV in off-grid applications; and expanding grid-connected PV generation on a large scale.

In his comments, Sathya Prasad, President, SEMI India, said, "There is a great untapped potential for off grid PV technology deployment in India's many rural areas, based on real needs for lighting and electrification, powering irrigation pumps, providing backup power for the growing network of cell towers, as well as other urban applications. By making available this off-grid source of power, many of the 450 million people in India who now rely on kerosene and other fuels to light their homes could enjoy a significantly higher quality of life. Effective public policies in support of PV manufacturing and adoption could substantially reduce India’s dependence on fossil fuels for power generation, while producing enormous socio-economic benefits like the creation of tens of thousands of jobs across the entire supply chain, from R&D and manufacturing to installation and maintenance."
