India is now generating more than 5 gigawatts of solar power: roughly 90% of that total is from solar power plants, with the other 10% coming from privately mounted rooftop panels. The momentum is likely to build further, with Vinay Rustagi - Managing Director of solar consultancy company Bridge to India - totting up the energy outputs of solar projects presently at various stages of commission at 15.7 GW. Ambitiously, India's central government wants a total of 100 gigawatts of solar generation by 2022, while as of July 2015 the entirety of India's power generation amounts to about 276 gigawatts.

    I know it is not fashionable here, and I know there are better medicines available (and I mean way way better), but you are assuming cow dung is bad because it is dung, when in reality it actually has a lot of medicinal values. I know, I have seen it up close.
