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. …
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. …
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 …
The Toyota Techno Park is a leading organization in the Bidadi Industrial Area. The company has often spearheaded several initiatives that have added immense value to the community. Sustainability too is one of their core values and the organization has always been responsible when it comes to managing its carbon footprint. As a result, over …

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 …
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 …
Solar power is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity in India and the world. Much of this growth in solar is driven by two factors, a fall in module prices making solar cheaper than almost every other generation method, and an increase in financing options available for consumers looking to install solar. However, …
Solar power has evolved tremendously since the photovoltaic effect was first observed by Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel in the 19th century. Nowadays, new advances in solar panel technology are introduced every year, as scientists work hard to improve the efficiency of solar cells. Promising technologies in solar cell manufacturing, solar energy storage, and solar design tech have …
