A Government agency in Chennai is planning to deliver a solar atlas of India in two years. It will provide the location which will be optimal for location of solar plants. It will be helpful in the solar mission of India. It aims to install 20,000 MW solar power by 2022. In the present installed capacity of 1.9 lakh MW, solar accounts for only 100 MW.


Recently there were news items reporting that solar energy mission of India will achieve its targets.
Gujarat will shortly have 1000 MW of power from Solar.
