Solar power, brings India closer to its 2030 clean energy goals and save environment from further environmental issues.

Solar power, brings India closer to its 2030 clean energy goals.

     India achieved a record-breaking 22 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy installations in the first half of 2025, a 57% increase compared to the same period last year, according to reports from ET EnergyWorld 
and SolarQuarter. 

   This surge in renewable energy capacity, primarily driven by solar power, brings India closer to its 2030 clean energy goals.
    Despite this progress, coal still accounts for a significant portion of India's electricity generation, highlighting the need for further development in energy storage and grid infrastructure. 

Here's a more detailed look: -
Record Growth:-
    India added 22 GW of renewable energy capacity in the first half of 2025, significantly exceeding the 14.2 GW installed in the same period last year, according to a report by Rystad Energy.

Solar Dominance:-
   Solar energy led the growth, contributing 18.4 GW, 
with adding 
wind energy 3.5 GW and 
bioenergy 250 MW, respectively.

Momentum Towards 2030 Goal:-
   This record growth provides momentum for India's 2030 target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity.

Coal's Continued Role:-
    Despite the renewable surge, coal continues to be a major source of electricity, accounting for approximately 75% of generation in the first half of 2025.

Need for Storage:-
    To further integrate renewable energy and reduce reliance on coal, India needs to focus on developing energy storage solutions to manage the intermittent nature of solar and wind power.

Policy Support:-
   The Interstate Transmission System (ISTS) charge waiver, which started at 25% and increases annually until June 2028, has incentivized developers to accelerate project commissioning.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
