Accelerating rooftop solar
The Enphase team’s industry knowledge and expertise in enabling sustainable living through its products and services, were critical while deliberating the applications for the Hasiru apartment awards. Enphase plans to continue working with BAF and all its ecosystem partners to strengthen the signature “BAF Rooftop Solar in Apartments”, a program targeted toward accelerating the adoption of rooftop solar. BAF will continue to promote and encourage further adoption of rooftop solar amongst its members by sharing knowledge and collective wisdom through knowledge papers on the BAF website. It also aims to work on clearing policy/procedural roadblocks with BESCOM / KERC / Energy dept GOK and ensure better market and supplier access by working closely with industry partners like Enphase.
