  • Solar energy is, simply, energy provided by the sun.
  • Electricity can be produced directly from photovoltaic, PV, cells. (Photovoltaic literally means “light” and “electric.”)
  • In use, solar energy produces no emissions.
  • 1 megawatt hour of solar electricity offsets about 0.75 to 1 tonne of CO2.
  • India is one of the sunniest countries in the world and there is huge potential for solar PV to make a significant contribution to electricity generation.
