Forest fires that plague different parts of India, especially during summers, play a major role in reducing solar power production in India, a study has found.
Several factors such as clouds, aerosols, and pollution generated from various sources limit the solar irradiance, causing performance issues in the photovoltaic and concentrated solar power plant installations. Large-scale development of a solar energy system requires proper planning, and there is a need to estimate the solar potential.
