Hurdles anticipated by experts

-------------------------------

1. land availability for solar parks is a chief concern. Conflicts related to land have stalled industrial and development projects in India, putting billions of dollars of investment at risk, according to a recent report.

2. Also the issue of transmission - said Kumarankandath.

"It''s all very well to produce all this energy, but do we have transmission lines capable of taking it up?

3. We''re also going to need large quantities of water to clean the panels."

Government is also exploring innovative places to install solar panels, including across the tops of irrigation canals.

My solution for water needed to clean the massive solar arrays:

---------------------------------------------------------------

Water is a scarce commodity in the location of Kamuthi Solar Power Project, a solar photovoltaic power generating station at Kamuthi, 90 km from Madurai, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Maintenance is needed regularly to remove dust and dirt from top of solar panels. Dust and dirt layers which accumulate on top of solar panels can reduce efficiency of solar power generation.

Solar panel design can have MECHANICAL WIPERS on top to clean and wipe away the dust and dirt everyday automatically or periodically. Just like cars using mechanical wipers to clean windshield!!!
