India inaugurated the world's largest solar power plant

The new plant in India has a capacity of 648 MW, becoming the largest solar power plant in the world today.

India in late November released images of the Kamuthi Solar Power Project, giving people a view of the world's largest solar power plant in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu state, India, according to Futurism. .

This is the largest solar power plant in the world today.

The above-mentioned solar power plant was built in only 8 months with a total budget of 679 million USD. The plant consists of 2.5 million solar panels, covering an area of ​​over 10.36 km2. Its operating capacity is up to 648 MW, capable of supplying electricity to 150,000 households. This is a big step for India to bring solar power to more people.

By 2022, India plans to produce enough solar power to power 60 million households. With the new solar power plant in Kamuthi, India will become the world's third largest solar power producing country in 2017, second only to the US and China.

India's potential to exploit solar energy is about 5 million billion kWh / year, with an average of 300 sunny days per year. If you build a floating solar power plant like in Japan, India will gain more power.
