Most sections in India receive 4-7 kWh per sq. m every day, summing up to around 5,000 trillion kWh of energy per year.<\/p>\n<p><b>The inception of solar energy in India\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Solar energy picked up pace in the early 2000\u2019s in India. Recently, an analysis by IRENA found that the costs for setting up solar PV projects have dropped by about 80 per cent in India between 2010 and 2018. Over the years, solar energy has established itself as the technology of choice.<\/p>\n<p>With the new power generation capacity and India&#8217;s recent status of lowest-cost producer of solar power, the reflection of an ongoing shift towards renewable power as the driver of global energy transformation is evident.<\/p>\n<p><b>How India has progressed in this sector\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>India recently became the world&#8217;s fifth-largest solar power deployment country overtaking Italy\u2019s rank. India&#8217;s Solar power capacity has expanded by more than 11 times in the last five years.<\/p>\n<p>India being an agricultural country has evolved its methods and procedures by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mahindrasolarize.com\/about.php\"> photovoltaic solar panels and solar water pumps.<\/a> These come in handy in rural areas which have unstable electricity supply. The increase in population and growing economy, power consumption is only going to rise, which makes adoption of alternate forms of energy the ideal way forward to manage balance between economic growth and sustainable environment.<\/p>\n<p><b>Myths vs facts\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Solar industry is stacked with myths and misconceptions that overshadow its environmental and financial benefits. Here are a few compelling facts about solar energy in India:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contrary to popular belief, <b>solar panels are affordable <\/b>now more than ever. The cost of solar has dropped dramatically over the last two decades.<\/li>\n<li><b>Solar panels do not cause roof damage<\/b>. Engineers consider structural soundness and roof integrity when proposing, designing, and installing an array.<\/li>\n<li><b>Solar panels can work on cloudy days <\/b>as well. They produce around 10-25% of their normal power output, depending on the thickness of cloud cover.<\/li>\n<li><b> <\/b><b>Solar power works seamlessly with sensitive electronics. <\/b>Solar inverters are designed to monitor, synchronize, and effortlessly switch with utility-provided power eliminating any potential issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Why Mahindra Solarize?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mahindra Solarize aims to accelerate and provide accessibility countrywide through innovation and technology.
