Solar power generation in India has increased considerably in the last few years. In 2024, the country produced roughly 133.81 terawatt-hours of electricity from solar energy. India aims to achieve a total solar capacity of 280 gigawatts by 2030.

India, blessed with about 300 sunny days yearly, experiences a significant influx of solar energy. This annual solar potential surpasses the collective energy output of all available fossil fuel reserves. In 2024, solar power comprised nearly 36 percent of India’s renewable potential, marking a substantial shift toward a more sustainable and diverse energy mix.

The Gujarat Renewable Energy Policy introduced by the state’s government sets a target to generate 50 perent of renewable energy by 2030. As of March 2024, Gujarat was the leading state, with nearly 2.5 gigawatts of installed rooftop solar capacity
