India is rapidly transforming into one of the world's leading solar energy nations. With an installed solar capacity that has grown from just 2.6 GW in 2014 to over 80 GW today, India is proving that a developing nation can lead the clean energy revolution.
The government's ambitious National Solar Mission — part of the
larger International Solar Alliance that India co-founded with France — aims
to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. Solar energy is at
the heart of this mission.
The benefits go beyond just clean electricity. Solar power is now
cheaper than coal power in India. It is creating hundreds of thousands of
new jobs. And it is bringing electricity to remote villages that were never
connected to the national grid.
One of the most inspiring aspects of India's solar story is rooftop
solar. Families and small businesses are installing panels on their
rooftops, generating their own electricity, and even selling surplus power
back to the grid.
India's solar revolution shows the world something profound: economic growth and environmental responsibility are not opposites. They can — and must — go hand in hand.
