Rajasthan becomes the leading producer of solar power

The first month of this year brought some encouraging news to solar power supporters in India. For the first time, the total installed capacity of solar power projects in India reached a record 5,130 MW. As the government has recently revised the solar power capacity target by five times to 1 lakh MW, a lot of development is expected to take place in the coming years.

Rajasthan leads in solar power generation :

Rajasthan recently dethroned Gujarat to become the leading state in solar power generation in India. Although, Rajasthan is a late entrant in solar power generation, it has zoomed ahead of Gujarat and other Indian states such as Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Rajasthan’s success comes despite the fact that Gujarat has been promoting solar energy in a big way. There are several factors that have made Rajasthan the leading producer of solar power.

Rajasthan receives 300-330 clear sunny days every year. Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and other cities in Rajasthan receive ample amount of sunshine that makes them ideal places for installation of solar power panels. Also, the state has plenty of flat, undeveloped land where solar power plants can be constructed.

In recent years, the popularity of solar power has increased considerably in Rajasthan as well as in other parts of India. Growing environment consciousness and reduced costs are two of the main factors that have contributed to the growing demand for solar power in India. It is widely acknowledged that using solar energy is one of the most effective ways to reduce our dependency on non-renewable sources of energy.

Benefits for Businesses :

Many of the leading businesses have set up solar power plants in Rajasthan and other states to meet their energy requirements. By installing solar power systems, a business can considerably reduce its consumption of fossil fuels. For this reason, the increased use of solar energy is considered an important step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Solar power can also go a long way when it comes to reducing electricity bills of a business. This will have a direct positive impact on the profitability of a business.
