Solar Energy "Uplift," by India, becoming the world's third-largest generator of solar power, with installed capacity reaching over 100 GW by early 2025 and adding record amounts of capacity in recent years. This growth is driven by supportive government policies like the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana scheme, a surge in domestic manufacturing, a focus on hybrid projects and green hydrogen, and a strategic shift towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

 Solar Energy "Uplift," by India, becoming the world's third-largest generator of solar power, with installed capacity reaching over 100 GW by early 2025 and adding record amounts of capacity in recent years. 
   This growth is driven by supportive government policies like the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana scheme, a surge in domestic manufacturing, a focus on hybrid projects and green hydrogen, and a strategic shift towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
 
Key Highlights of India's Solar Uplift
Rapid Growth in Capacity:-
   India's total installed solar capacity surpassed 100 GW by early 2025 and continued to grow rapidly, adding more than 24 GW in 2024 alone. 
Dominant Force in Renewables:-
  Solar power is India's primary driver of renewable energy expansion, accounting for a significant portion of its total installed renewable capacity. 
Government Support:-
Initiatives like the "PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana" provide subsidies to households for installing solar panels, promoting widespread adoption. 
Manufacturing Expansion:-
  India has significantly increased its domestic capacity to manufacture solar PV cells and modules, supporting its ambition to be a global leader in the renewable energy sector. 
Integration into the Grid:-
 The country is focusing on developing hybrid renewable energy projects and strengthening its grid infrastructure to support the integration of solar and other renewable sources. 
Strategic Goals:-
This solar expansion is central to India's goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and its net-zero target by 2070. 
International Recognition:-
India's efforts have placed it among the top global solar power generators, demonstrating a strategic shift toward self-reliance and sustainable energy. 

  Here's a closer look at the top states: -
1) Rajasthan:-
   With vast desert areas and high solar irradiance, Rajasthan holds the top spot with about 27.64 GW of installed solar capacity.
2) Gujarat:
  Gujarat has been a pioneer in solar energy, with a significant capacity of over 18.13 GW.
3) Maharashtra:-
   This state has a capacity of around 9.88 GW and is steadily increasing its solar power contribution.
4)Tamil Nadu:
Tamil Nadu has an installed solar capacity exceeding 9.77 GW.
5)Karnataka:-
With substantial solar infrastructure, Karnataka has an installed capacity of over 9.31 GW.
6) Madhya Pradesh:-
  Utilizing its large land availability, the state has achieved about 5.01 GW of solar capacity.
7)Telangana:-
The state has progressed significantly in solar energy adoption, with a capacity of approximately 4.5 GW.
8) Andhra Pradesh:-
  Andhra Pradesh has a total installed solar capacity of about 4.84 GW.
9) Uttar Pradesh:
 The state has an installed capacity of around 3.36 GW and ambitious plans for further expansion.
10) Haryana:-
  Haryana has become a key player in the solar sector with a capacity of over 2.03 GW.

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...
