The dream that one day the sun would power everything is increasingly becoming reality including as part of India’s renewables transition. In India, Adani is both the biggest solar developer and the biggest solar manufacturer by capacity.
A solar cell is a power-generating device that doesn’t heat up, doesn’t rotate, doesn’t move, doesn’t emit CO2, and doesn’t produce radioactive waste. Depending on how many cells are stacked together, solar can provide a few watts or a few gigawatts, in a centralised or decentralised manner.
