Solar Energy Breakthroughs
One of the most significant innovations in
India’s renewable sector is the rapid advancement
in solar technology. Floating solar power plants,
like the one at Ramagundam in Telangana, optimize
water surface usage while reducing land constraints.
Additionally, advancements in photovoltaic (PV)
cell efficiency and the adoption of bifacial solar
panels have enhanced energy generation capabilities.
Energy storage solutions, including lithium-ion
batteries and pumped hydro storage, are further
enhancing solar energy’s reliability. Indian startups
are also driving innovation through affordable solar
solutions, expanding access to clean electricity in
rural areas.
