The History Of Renewable Energy Industry In India

About Renewable Energy Industry

India’s renewable energy industry is the 3rd largest in the world with 40% of energy capabilities added in the year 2022. Also, the country is 3rd largest consumer of electricity in the world. India is committed to increasing its energy production with non-fossil fuel sources by 2030 and the country is doing well in this direction.

Hydroelectric Power In India

Hydroelectric power is one

Wind Power In India

Wind power is also one of the important renewable energy sources in India and the country has been developing its capacity to exploit wind power since 1990. Although a late starter in wind power generation, India has achieved considerablegrowthinthis field.

Waste To Energy In India

Considering the pile of solid and liquid waste generated in the country, it can also become a renewable energy industry. Also, the country has already started taking steps towards electricity generation with urban waste. India’s waste production has increased with the increase in urbanpopulation.

Approximately 5.5 crore tonnes of municipal solidwaste isgenerateddailyinthecountry

The daily sewage generation of the urban population is estimated to be 3,800 crore liters

Presently India’s wastewater treatment plants producerenewableenergyfromsewage gas

Solar Power In India

Solar is a fast-developing industry in India. The country ranks 4th in solar power generation in the world. The solar energy companies in India aredoingacommendable jobinincreasingIndia’sinstalledcapacity.

As of October 2022, the total installed capacityofthe countryis61.625GW

India achieved the initial target of 20 GW four yearsinadvance

Rooftop solar power accounts for 2.1 GW or70%ofindustrialproducts

Solar Powered States In India

With over 300 clear and sunny days in a year, India has a vast potential of generating solar electricity. Leading solar companies in India are working in every state. Here’s the list of solar-powered states in the country.

 Rajasthan(14,454.70MW)  Gujarat(7,806.80MW)  Karnataka(7,597.92MW)

How Do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels are vital for generating energy from solar light. The panels capture sunlight in the form of radiant energy and convert the energy into electricity in DC form. A solar panel making company in India makes these panels with silicon semiconductors that absorb sunlight.

Solar panels are placed southwards in the northern hemisphere and northwards in the southernhemisphere
