The
western Indian state of Gujarat is all set to become the first state in the
country to generate solar power through panels mounted on a water body.
Installation of panels on the canal will help in doing away with the need to
acquire land. Evaporation of lakhs of litres of water will be prevented since
the canal will be covered. And will generate clean energy. Generated solar
power will be supplied to villages alongside the canal, which will lead to
lower transmission losses aiding rural development.
A great
pioneering effort in renewable energy that will hopefully lead the way for
future innovations!
Super cool news. I hope that other states follow with this brilliant scheme. We coudd well do with some extra power here in Tamil Nadu!
