Solar radiation across India

If tropical India were to convert just 1% of the 5,000 trillion kilowatt-hour of solar radiation (or, simply, sunlight) it receives a year into energy, the country will have enough to meet its energy needs—even in 2030—according to the national action plan on climate change.

The India Meteorological Department maintains a nationwide network of radiation stations which measure solar radiation and also the daily duration of sunshine. In most parts of India, clear sunny weather is experienced 250 to 300 days a year. The annual global radiation varies from 1600 to 2200 kWh/sq.m. which is comparable with radiation received in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. The equivalent energy potential is about 6,000 million GWh of energy per year. The highest annual global radiation is received in Rajasthan and northern Gujarat.

This presentation will serve as a great teaching tool. Use it as a standalone map, for a teaching class or to aid a quiz presentation.

Simply "ungroup" the image and then you can use this useful tool to indicate locations, shopping malls, places of tourist interest (if you are a travel operator).

You can customize this map along with other data you wish to present. For example if you are presenting the population growth of certain states in India, you may highlight only those states.

You can pinpoint the location of small towns or villages that are not available on existing maps and can even pull out and separate the states you require to give even greater emphasis to your presentations.
