The Punjab government is taking steps to promote solar energy in the state. It plans to establish 66 solar power plants, each with a capacity of 4 MW, resulting in a total capacity of 264 MW. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and position Punjab as a leader in clean energy production1. Punjab has high potential for solar power due to its estimated solar insulation levels of 4-7 units/m22. The government is targeting solar power generation of 1,000 MW by 2017 and has currently operationalized 117 MW of solar power projects2.
[pdf] Solar energy is and from the that is harnessed using a range of technologies such as to generate , (including ), and . It is an essential source of , and its technologies are broadly characterized as either or active solar depending on how they capture and distribute sol.
[pdf] Solar thermal technologies can be used for water heating, space heating, space cooling and process heat generation. In 1878, at the Universal Exposition in Paris, successfully demonstrated a solar steam engine but could not continue development because of cheap coal and other factors.

[pdf] In a CSP plant that includes storage, the solar energy is first used to heat molten salt or synthetic oil, which is stored providing thermal/heat energy at high temperature in insulated tanks. Later the hot molten salt (or oil) is used in a steam generator to produce steam to generate electricity by steam as required. Thus solar energy which is available in daylight only is used to generate electricity round the clock on demand as a or solar peaker pl.
