per watt in 2011 to USD 0.65 per watt today. xxi Module prices have fallen globally largely due to a condition of acute oversupply.

International Energy Agency estimates that the 300 million people without access to electricity in India spend over $60 billion annually on inefficient and obsolete sources of energy like kerosene. This indicates there is a willingness to pay even amongst the poor. xxiii 7. Moreover, decentralised renewable energy is already a billion dollar market in India. According to the World Resources Institute, the off-grid energy access market in India lies mostly amongst the 114 million poo<strong>res</strong>t households of the country that earn less than $2 a day. Decentralised renewable energy holds an annual market of $2.4 billion and the solar home lighting market is estimated to be around $27.4 million. xxiv What are the subsidies available to renewable energy users?
