Uttar Pradesh (UP) is rapidly emerging as a key player in India's renewable energy sector, aiming for 22 GW of solar power by 2026-27 and 32 GW by 2030. The state is focusing on large-scale solar parks, rooftop solar expansion, and green energy initiatives, supported by policies aimed at achieving a $1 trillion economy. Key initiatives include the development of 3,565 MW in the Bundelkhand region and making Ayodhya a model solar city.

Uttar Pradesh (UP) is rapidly emerging as a key player in India's renewable energy sector, aiming for 22 GW of solar power by 2026-27 and 32 GW by 2030. The state is focusing on large-scale solar parks, rooftop solar expansion, and green energy initiatives, supported by policies aimed at achieving a $1 trillion economy. Key initiatives include the development of 3,565 MW in the Bundelkhand region and making Ayodhya a model solar city. 
Key Aspects of UP's Role in Renewable Energy:
Solar Power Leadership:-
 Uttar Pradesh is the third-largest solar energy producer in India, supported by ambitious rooftop solar schemes and large-scale, utility-level projects.
Targeted Solar Policies: -
The Uttar Pradesh Solar Energy Policy 2022 aims for 22,000 MW capacity, including 14 GW of utility-scale projects and 13.5 lakh solar-powered households.
Key Infrastructure Development: -
The state is investing in green energy corridors, including nearly INR 17,965 Cr for Phase II, and developing solar parks in regions like Bundelkhand.
Green Energy Initiatives:
Model Solar Cities: -
Ayodhya is being developed as a model solar city, with plans for replication in 16 other municipal corporations and Noida.
PM-KUSUM Scheme: -
The state aims to add 2,000 MW of solar capacity for agricultural use, reducing reliance on diesel pumps.
Bioenergy & Green Hydrogen:-
 The Bio Energy Policy 2022 offers incentives for bio-CNG and waste-to-energy plants, alongside investments in green hydrogen projects.
Investment & Partnerships: -
With over $6 billion in investment opportunities, the state has formed joint ventures with organizations like NHPC, THDCIL, and SECI.
Incentives: Subsidies of ₹30,000 per consumer for rooftop solar, and up to ₹2.5 Crore per MW for storage-enabled projects, are provided. 
Uttar Pradesh is positioning itself as a hub for clean energy to meet rising demand through sustainable initiatives.

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...
