Horizon in 2025: A Year in Review

We had a great year at Horizon Renewable Power! Here are some key moments of 2025:

Pan-India footprint strengthened, with on-ground team expansion across Punjab, HP, UP, Rajasthan, Chandigarh, Haryana and Delhi.
Expanded to Madhya Pradesh, with a new office in Bhopal to serve Central India and also grew our presence across Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, and Himachal Pradesh.
Went beyond installations: We invested in awareness and research through RWA workshops and sector-focused studies across MSMEs, hospitals, data centres, and energy-intensive industries.
2025 strengthened our foundation. 2026 is about momentum; More rooftops, more regions, and deeper impact.

2025 - the Year of Solar Power in India

This year, non-fossil power crossed 50% of India’s 500 GW capacity.As of 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, India has reached 𝟮𝟱𝟯.𝟵𝟲 𝗚𝗪 of installed renewable energy capacity with 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 leading the way with 132.85 GW! Read more
Nearly 24 lakh households have adopted rooftop solar until December 2025 under PM Surya Ghar, and ₹13,464.6 Cr subsidy has been released. Read more
As of 31st October 2025, 55 solar parks with a combined sanctioned capacity of 40 GW have been approved across 13 Indian states. Read more
India also cut GST on renewable energy components from 12% to 5% to boost adoption. Read more
India surpassed Japan to become the world’s third-largest solar energy producer in terms of generation. Read more
Solar PV capacity addition is led by Rajasthan, which accounts for 27% (36 GW) of the cumulative installed capacity. Gujarat comes second with 24.8 GW, and Maharashtra third with 17.2 GW. Together, the top 5 states account for over 65% of India’s total solar capacity. Read more

Global Solar Power Highlights of 2025

Horizon Insight

This month, we are shining the spotlight on one of India’s biggest builders, literally! Cement drives infrastructure, but its carbon footprint is massive. In this edition, we see how solar power can help.

Cement & Carbon: The hidden emissions behind every bag and solar solutions that make a difference. Plus, a peek into how cement manufacturers are integrating renewable energy (RE).
As always, we also have a roundup of the latest solar sector news from India and abroad.
Finally, some tech innovations that caught our eye this month.

Cement quite literally builds modern India, but it comes with a steep carbon cost. India, the world’s second-largest cement producer (391 MT annually), generates ~226 MT of CO₂ emissions from this sector alone.

To grow sustainably, the industry must pivot and the solution is right above us! Solar power is already helping India’s cement leaders lower emissions, lock in savings, and strengthen competitiveness. Read more

China becomes the first clean-energy electrostate. For the first time, growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid growth in power demand. This achievement – from the world’s largest emitter – was driven by massive investments in clean power, accounting for almost 40% of the world’s total in 2024. Read more

In the first half of 2025, renewables produced more electricity than coal for the first time on record. Read more
According to two UN reports, more than 90% of new renewable energy capacity is now cheaper than fossil fuels. Solar and wind are now almost always the least expensive and fastest option for new energy generation. Read more
Solar and wind are now expanding fast enough to meet all new electricity demand, a milestone reached in the first three quarters of 2025. Together, solar and wind supplied 17.6% of global electricity in the first three quarters of 2025, pushing the total share of low-carbon sources to 43%. Read more
In August, wind and solar generated over a third of Brazil’s electricity for the first month on record. In the EU, solar became the single largest source of power in June 2025. In Spain, the expansion of wind and solar has reduced the pricing power of fossil generators by 75% since 2019. The UK crossed a major threshold in September 2025, as wind and solar generated more than half of its electricity for the first time. California reached its own milestone, with solar now the state’s largest source of power. Read more & Read more

That’s it for this month and year, folks! Thank you for being part of our journey this year. As we move into 2026, our focus remains clear: more rooftops, more regions, and deeper impact.

If you are planning your solar journey, whether for your home or business, we would love to be part of the conversation. From C&I businesses and MSMEs to RWAs and homeowners, Horizon Renewable can help you find the solar solution that fits you to the T.

And if you’re already using solar, we would love to hear your experiences. Share your journey with us. It could inspire many more to make the switch!
