n this video we start by discussing the Rewa Power Plant, and try to extrapolate its numbers to see what it would take to power all of India with Solar Energy.

We introduce the idea of a “Sunny side Up Curve” - the counterpart of the “Duck Curve”, wherein areas receiving a good amount of sunlight can overbuild solar capacity to 4 times of peak load, in order to meet their entire energy demand.

We go through some figures from Finnish company, Wartsila, and see how they see India if it switches to 100% renewables, with a little natural gas thrown in.

We look through some other factors that may lead to an accelerated development of Solar power in India, including manufacturing panels, and finally consider a borderline absurd idea, that may become plausible once we have reduced CO2 to pre-industrial levels.
