India ranks 4th globally in renewable energy installed capacity and holds the 4th and 3rd positions in wind and solar power capacity, respectively.

    Renewable energy growth achievement in india
      India has indeed surpassed Germany to become the world's third-largest generator of electricity from wind and solar power. 
    This milestone was achieved in 2024, with wind and solar accounting for 10% of India's electricity generation, according to Ember. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:-

India's Renewable Energy Growth:-
    India's renewable energy sector, particularly wind and solar, has seen significant growth in recent years. 

Global Ranking:-
    Ember's report indicates that India's combined wind and solar generation ranks third globally, behind only China and the United States. 

Ember's Report Findings:-
   The report highlights that low-carbon sources, including renewables and nuclear, provided 40.9% of global electricity in 2024, a first since the 1940s, according to Ember. 

India's Clean Energy Contribution:-
   In India, clean energy sources contributed 22% to the total electricity generation, with hydropower being the largest contributor at 8%, followed by wind and solar at 10%, according to Ember. 

Global Context:-
    Renewables led the growth in clean electricity globally, adding a record 858 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024, with solar being the fastest-growing source, according to Ember. 
 of June 2025, 

   India's total installed renewable energy capacity reached :226.9 GW, according to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). 

   This capacity, along with 8.8 GW from nuclear power, contributes to 49% of the country's total installed power generation capacity of 476 GW. 

   India ranks 4th globally in renewable energy installed capacity and holds the 4th and 3rd positions in wind and solar power capacity, respectively.

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...
