The Indian government has set an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022. This includes 40 GW of rooftop solar, 60 GW of grid-scale solar, and 60 GW of wind. Currently, India is the third-largest solar market in the world and has the fourth-largest installed wind power capacity in the world. …
Bioenergy is a renewable source of energy that is produced from materials derived from biological sources. Materials that can store sunlight in the form of chemical energy like wood, wood waste, straw, crop residue, manure, sugarcane, and many other by-products from a variety of agricultural processes form biomass; the fuel used in the production of …
Solar Energy is one of the fastest-growing industries in India. As of 31st August 2019, solar installed capacity reached approximately 25 GW, making it the 3rd largest solar power market in the world after China and the USA. India also has the lowest capital cost per MW globally for the installation of solar power plants. …
Wind energy accounts for nearly 10% of India\’s total installed power generation capacity. Industries are currently spending a lot of money on electricity every month and can now reduce between 25% to 45% (percentage varies depending on state and consumption) on monthly electricity expenditure by shifting to wind power. WHAT IS THE AREA REQUIRED FOR …
Concentrated solar power (CSP), is a solar-powered system in which high-temperature fluids are used with steam turbines to produce electricity. Early small-scale applications of CSP mainly involved its use for the pumping of water, however, since the mid-1980s several large-scale power systems with a power output of up to 80 MW have been built. CSP …
The India Infrastructure magazine, Powerline, has published an article on the role of Microgrids for increased energy production. The report touches on the increasing role of microgrids in the industry, the enhancing of energy access, smart integration, and the global growth of microgrids in the world. Some of the key points from this article have …
India is one of the largest producers of agricultural crops (both food grains and non-food grains), but ranks very low in terms of agricultural productivity (the ratio of agricultural outputs to agricultural inputs). This is mainly due to the power supply situation in the agricultural sector that remains dismal as many farmers have to rely …
Waste generation has been in existence ever since the human race has existed. The first of its kind was probably when Eve ate the apple and threw it on the ground, perhaps not thinking what would happen to the rest of it. Of course, back then it was just the two of them; they didn’t …
The Council of Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) estimates that water requirements from both surface water sources and groundwater sources for the operation and maintenance of solar plants in India, lie between 3-5 liters per panel and in some cases 7-8 liters per panel, where panels are usually cleaned every week. According to a recent …

Solar energy is an important source of renewable energy that is currently being harnessed using a wide range of ever-evolving technologies. One such emerging technology is the use of solar energy to power Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lights. Since solar power is a clean, inexhaustible, and affordable means of electricity, our reliance on it …
