Gujarat's solar policy in 2025, building on the 2021-2025 framework and new renewable goals, focuses heavily on boosting rooftop solar with subsidies (like ₹2,950 for up to 6kW), supporting large-scale projects (targeting 100 GW by 2030), offering incentives for C&I (Commercial & Industrial) users, promoting green hydrogen, and simplifying net metering, with strong growth reflected in high installation numbers and ongoing support for schemes like PM Surya Ghar.

Gujarat's solar policy in 2025, building on the 2021-2025 framework and new renewable goals, focuses heavily on boosting rooftop solar with subsidies (like ₹2,950 for up to 6kW), supporting large-scale projects (targeting 100 GW by 2030), offering incentives for C&I (Commercial & Industrial) users, promoting green hydrogen, and simplifying net metering, with strong growth reflected in high installation numbers and ongoing support for schemes like PM Surya Ghar. 
Key Aspects of Gujarat Solar Policy (2025)-
Rooftop Solar (RTS) Focus: -"
Gujarat leads in rooftop solar, offering significant subsidies and incentives, including up to ₹78,000 for residential systems and ₹2,950 for regulatory charges on smaller systems, under schemes like PM Surya Ghar and the Surya Gujarat Program.
Renewable Energy Targets:-
 The state aims for 100 GW of renewable energy by 2030, with 36 GW from solar, driving large-scale development.
C&I Sector Support:-
 Policies encourage Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar, with no capacity caps and favorable net metering/open access rules.
Policy Continuity: -
The existing Gujarat Solar Policy (2021-2025) remains active, offering benefits like 100% electricity duty exemption.
Expansion of Schemes: -
Programs like the Solar Park Scheme timeline extended to FY 2025-26, and the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana continues to drive residential adoption. 
Key Developments in 2025
High Installation Growth:-
 State's total renewable capacity grew significantly (37.9% YoY) by Oct 2025, with rooftop solar crossing 5 lakh installations, demonstrating successful policy implementation.
D
Continued implementation of MNRE guidelines, including support for Green Hydrogen and Carbon Credit Trading, alongside national schemes. 
In essence, Gujarat's 2025 solar landscape is characterized by robust policy support, high residential adoption, and significant growth in large-scale solar, positioning it as a national leader in renewable energy. 
Gujarat Tops India With 5 Lakh Rooftop Solar Installations
The state now stands at the top of national charts for rooftop solar adoption, reflecting sustained policy support and strong public participation in clean energy.

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...
