About

Harsh Kamath is a researcher focused on advancing solar energy deployment in emerging economies, with a particular emphasis on high-efficiency photovoltaic technologies. His most cited work, "The potential for concentrator photovoltaics: A feasibility study in India" (2018, 18 citations), critically evaluates the viability of concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) as an alternative to conventional fixed-tilt crystalline silicon systems in India’s aggressive solar scale-up plans. By analyzing technical performance, cost dynamics, and regional suitability, Kamath provides a nuanced assessment of CPV’s potential to complement or compete with established flat-plate technologies. This study has become a reference point for policymakers and engineers exploring next-generation solar deployment in high-irradiation regions. Kamath’s contributions lie at the intersection of renewable energy policy, photovoltaic system design, and feasibility analysis, offering actionable insights for scaling sustainable energy infrastructure. His work underscores the importance of context-specific technology evaluation, helping to guide investment and research priorities in rapidly growing solar markets.
