Punjab Claims Solar Power Capacity at 1500 MW. Is that correct?
The Indian state of Punjab claims to have increased its solar power capacity stupendously over the past few years. From just 9 MW in 2012, the state claims that the solar installed capacity has increased to 1500 MW, 170-fold growth!…
Solar Power to Be 18% of India Energy Generation by 2030
Solar energy is expected to account for 18 per cent of total power generation capacity in India by 2030 from one per cent at present, playing a key role in the country’s efforts to achieving 40 per cent installed power…
How Can US Grow to 250 GW of Solar by 2025, from 25 GW Right Now?
The US has about 25 GW of solar PV installed capacity as we wind down on 2015. 25 GW – that’s considerable, but relatively a fairly insignificant amount considering that the total US electricity installed capacity (from all sources) is about 1…
