Potential of Solar Energy in India
Abundant Solar Resources
India receives abundant sunlight, with approximately 300 sunny days per year. This makes it ideal for harnessing solar energy.
Installed Capacity
India has rapidly increased its solar energy capacity, reaching over 40 GW, and aims to scale this further, contributing significantly to its renewable energy mix.
Government Support
The government has implemented policies like the National Solar Mission to promote solar energy. It offers subsidies, tax incentives, and infrastructure support for solar projects.
Environmental and Economic Impact
Solar energy reduces dependence on fossil fuels, cutting emissions and creating job opportunities, especially in rural areas.
This makes solar energy a key driver for India’s sustainable development.
