India transforms the roof solar power industry
7th December 2017
India is making strides towards becoming a global solar superpower and this short video from the World Bank provides an overview of the rapid progress being made. A game changer - a hugely important part of the growth and development jigsaw. India added more rooftop solar power capacity in the last financial year than in the previous four years combined.
India plans to generate 160 gigawatts of #wind and #solar power by 2022, creating 330k new jobs. For the country's rural poor, these clean energy positions offer a lucrative alternative to subsistence farming https://t.co/3bQk9XA49e pic.twitter.com/FfLMxLDnmq
