Abstract
Upscaling of small projects is an important step for reaching widespread application and properly capturing estimated effects in terms of electrical energy savings and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. In this chapter, we discuss alternatives for upscaling of this project in India, including regional upscaling (i.e., extend the project to other areas), technical upscaling (i.e., increase the number of technologies used), and political upscaling (i.e., give policy recommendations for regulation reforms that would enable more projects like this). Further, we discuss different business models that can be applied to make the project financially sustainable.
