6 FAQs about [India s solar power base]
Does India need solar energy?
India’s climate action is dependent upon energy transition (in the electricity sector) by betting large on shift to solar energy. In 2014-15, the Government had set a target of producing 175 Gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy by 2022, with 100 GW of solar energy. The present installed capacity of solar energy is only 60% of the target.
Will India be a key market for solar energy?
A 25-year vision document by the Government has targeted 85% of the power generation from renewable and green sources of energy. This enables India to be one of the key markets for solar energy and also a huge customer base for solar applications.
