India's solar power sector, reaching 100 GW of installed capacity by January 31, 2025, which reflects a significant push towards renewable energy and a substantial reduction in carbon emissions and need of today for environmental control and save fuels

     India's solar power sector has indeed seen a dramatic increase, reaching 100 GW of installed capacity by January 31, 2025,  rise from 2.82 GW in 2014 which   reflects a significant push towards renewable energy and a substantial reduction in carbon emissions. 

Here's a more detailed look:-
Capacity Growth:-
     The total installed capacity reached 100.33 GW as of January 31, 2025, with 84.10 GW under implementation and an additional 47.49 GW under tendering, according to PIB. 

Rooftop Solar:-
    The "PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana" program, launched in 2024, has been a key driver, nearing nine lakh rooftop solar installations, according to The New Indian Express. 

Environmental Impact:-
    This massive solar capacity expansion is expected to significantly reduce India's reliance on fossil fuels, leading to lower carbon emissions and a cleaner environment, according to Renewable Watch Magazine. 

Manufacturing:-
     India has also made strides in solar module manufacturing, with a capacity of 60 GW in 2024, aiming for 100 GW by 2030. 
Future Targets:
This progress positions India well to achieve its 2030 target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity, according to The Electricity Hub.

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...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
