An estimated 1,689 GW of solar electricity, or more than 55 GW, must be installed yearly to attain net zero by 2050. The presented approach is very useful to harness and attain goals. Therefore, the ranking will help analyze the requirements of different sectors, and decisions about the sector’s priority can be taken while making policies.
The study found that textiles, auto and engineering products, and paper were the top three alternatives with the highest MARCOS ranks, indicating they have the highest rooftop solar energy adoption potential.
To lower operating costs and improve cost competitiveness, industries with high electricity prices compared to their overall production costs are recognized as prospective beneficiaries of solar energy adoption. Second, evaluating the MSME sectors’ “GDP contribution” is essential to determining their overall economic significance.
Seven pitched roof units comprise the planned model put into practice in the research region. Applications of efficiency analysis on a single rooftop revealed that solar energy systems might provide 70 % of the required energy.
Initially, a set of criteria is carefully selected, encompassing factors such as electricity cost as a percentage of total production cost, GDP contribution, sector growth rate, employment generation, rooftop solar suitability, credit growth, and non-performing asset rate.
