By December, Chandigarh aims to reach an impressive 88 MW of solar power generation through rooftop solar installations on around 5,545 government houses. The city already ranks second in the country, right after Delhi, surpassing states like Odisha, Assam, Goa, and Himachal Pradesh in solar capacity. Currently, Chandigarh generates 68.358 MW of solar energy, with 110 government schools alone producing 6.9 million units (MU)—surpassing their usage of 6.1 MU. Solar panels have been activated on 2,854 government homes, and installations are underway for an additional 1,600. This ambitious project includes non-residential government buildings, ensuring that Chandigarh meets its December deadline. This pioneering effort not only enhances energy independence but also sets a commendable benchmark for other cities aiming for a greener, sustainable future. 🌍 #solarenergy #chandigarh #india #renewableenergy #sustainability #greenenergy #solarpowered #solarinstallation

Maharashtra has taken a significant step towards a sustainable future with the inauguration of the Solar Village Scheme by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Manyachiwadi, in Satara district, has become the state's first fully solar-powered village under this initiative, which aims to electrify 100 villages across Maharashtra with solar energy. The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. (MSEDCL) has announced that two villages in each district will be entirely solar-powered. The scheme also includes Shivtirth Nagar in Kothrud and Sector 25 in Nigdi as early beneficiaries. This initiative aligns with the Pradhanmantri Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana, aiming to eliminate electricity bills for households and provide free power to farmers. The Solar Village Scheme marks a pivotal moment in Maharashtra’s renewable energy journey, setting a model for other states. #solarpower #renewableenergy #maharashtra #sustainability #cleanenergy #solar #solarinstallation #solarpowered #solarvillage

#Floating #solar involves installing #solar #panels on #floating #structures situated on water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. This not only utilizes otherwise unused water surfaces but also #enhances the #efficiency of the #solar #panels due to the #cooling effect of #water. By covering water surfaces, floating solar also #reduces losses from #evaporation, conserving precious water resources. The first floating solar was established in #Japan in 2007. However, the market for this technology has picked up since 2016. Almost all the large countries in the world now have modest #floating #solar installed capacity. In the South Asia region, #floating #solar projects are operational in #India, the #Maldives and #Bangladesh, while Pakistan and Sri Lanka are in the early stages of exploration. #INDIA boasts of the potential capacities of 280-300 GW in floating solar power. However, only a small fraction of its estimated potential has been installed in the states of Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Telangana, Bihar and Rajasthan. The #modular #technology of floating solar can cater to mini grids and off-grid power supplies to large-scale projects that are connected to the electricity grid and can be accessed by both urban and rural populations.

🌟 Expanding solar minigrids in India's most populous state At the recent Solar Trailblazers event in Lucknow, experts highlighted the potential of community solar minigrids to transform Uttar Pradesh state's power landscape, which continues to suffer from poor reliability and quality. With key contributions from Husk Power, minigrids provide affordable, reliable electricity to MSMEs and rural areas, reducing reliance on costly alternatives like diesel generation. The growing viability of energy storage solutions further supports this expansion.
