Business Matters | Where does India stand on solar energy targets? | The Hindu

- Solar energy. All the energy we want is there for the asking, right? The sun shines, gives us power. What are we waiting for?
As with all blessings, this too has costs - in the form of photo voltaic cells in solar panels, land to house those panels, maintenance, power distribution... And, all of these together have to be cheaper than power obtained from burning coal, if we want to go green.
Though solar energy costs have plummeted over the past decade, capacity - which is now at 57 GW - and renewables as a whole (at 114-odd GW) still have some catching up to do with thermal energy capacity, which is currently 236 GW.
In this episode, a little bit of physics and some economic policy will help us understand where India stands and why.

That's why I love "THE HINDU" news👌
Sir the kind of examples you take to explain makes it absolutely crystal clear in my head!!! Thank you so much!!
This is why THE HINDU is best for it's content and news. This is scrap for all those media channels who are constructively engaged in यांच्या घरी साप घुसला, टोला लगावला, भाजप शिवसेना यांची युती. Literally a good source of repository.
wow! so much information packed in a small capsule!
There is a good way of we combine the agricultural and solar plant kinda agrovoltics.
Vertical farming in ground and solar farming on top.
That is just a good thing to supply energy.
But more importantly, even getting more important in near future, agrivoltaics helps collect water. And by creating obstacles for the wind, it helps lessing the drying of fields by the wind.
But the only viable solution to save the planet is using methanol instead of fossil fuels.

Good to see u sir..with again a good topic
This is so insightful 🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Very informative Video. Thanks to your team.
Another excellent Summary
Good,well briefed,got lot of unknown information.thanks to you and the Hindu
Future of Energy 🌞 👍
Good.
The most amusing part of the entire business is that generating companies are not required to change over to renewables inolace of coal or natural gas!!!!
The government has been on target w.r.t the solar transition
However, the area where we have failed miserably is the roff-top commercial and residential solar power. The government has failed to motivate the people to use solar power to fulfill their own energy demands.
Nice
sun is the ultimate source of energy , more research needs to be done into how we can tap the energy from sun more efficiently.
Before we study this topicit becomes imperative to establish the actual potential and set our targets and goals to say75 percentage of the potential in say 20 years!!!!i stead of licking ourselves to some ridiculous targets!!!!!
GDP growth rate was reflected in today's stock market, wherein Niffty was down by more than 200 points.
Could we have a table of areawisepotential?l
Super Content, covered all aspects.
Do you guys read the comments? I want you to make a video on "Hydrogen".
Not general information but why not start using it now?
Can I write you guys any email ?
Thank you for your comment. This video on Green Hydrogen might interest you! ua-cam.com/video/TEmlwM166zE/v-deo.html
Could not legislation permitcompensation on installation by augmentation to supplement production decreases?
Why not local area networks!!!
Shouldn't you have cleared that the arrears that are required to be cleared, are of the electricity bought at spot markets and NOT of the long term contracts??!!!
Correct me if I am wrong here.
Why is solar energy limitedby targets. Why not aim at 100 percent electricity using solar pv only?is there a single village or city or part of these that operate only on solar electricity, why no proceed part by part!!village by village consumer by consumer?
Could we have each mp considering200percent solar in his or her own constituency!!!
To enjoy a glass of champagne, do I have to go to France,how about sulawines or Riviera?
To travel by flight do I have to become a pilot?
Why not DISCOMS shift to solar power generation instead of thermal..will be affordable and sustainable
We have been talking about Solar energy for more than 5 decades without any improvement since it's an expensive offer for installation even for house holding, if the total amount of installation were kept on Fixed deposit we can easily pay the power consumption changes plus additional income, the reason why it's not being attractive.
We have other sources of power generations like Hydro and Wind power energy but these are also not being encouraged, the amount of money we spend in Solar energy is huge when compared to investment to be made for these power generations.
Why not have tax saving renewable energy bonds!!!
War in Europe?
Gujarati lagwege
The Hindu is Anti Hindu lol
The way you put things are very negative for me.. you pls explain where we are doing good & how to improve rather the whole progress is a failure
