India’s solar power capacity hit a key milestone of 100 gigawatts earlier this month. This is no mean feat, with the solar power capacity increasing thirty-five-fold over the past decade, rising from 2.82GW in 2014 to 100GW today. Solar now accounts for over a fifth of India’s total power generation capacity of 462GW.That said, the job is not half-done—it is merely one-third complete. India has set an ambitious target of 500GW of renewable capacity by 2030, with approximately 300GW expected from solar power, including large-scale utility projects and rooftop solar installations.
