Key February 2026 Highlights:
Total Renewable Generation: -
25,295.17 MU.
Solar Output:-
 16,983.54 MU (67.14% of total renewables).
Wind Output: -
5,661.07 MU.
Year-on-Year Growth: -
25.26%.
Growth Driver: -
The massive increase is driven by significant solar capacity additions, with total solar capacity exceeding 143 GW, contributing to a 26.4% share of total electricity generation in 2025–26. 
Contextual Developments:
Solar Manufacturing:-
 India has built a robust solar supply chain with 172 GW of manufacturing capacity.
Infrastructure & Policy: -
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is targeting 42 GW of domestic cell manufacturing capacity by June 2026, when strict local sourcing rules take effect.
Growth Trend: -
Renewables, led by solar, are rapidly gaining share in the total power mix, supported by increased capacity in states like Rajasthan and massive investment, including substantial rooftop installations (40 lakh+).
Investment: -
The sector continues to see high investment interest, with roughly US$ 772 million injected in February 2026.

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...
