This map has been prepared by Solargis, under contract to The World Bank, based on a solar resource database that Solargis owns and maintains. It is part of a global ESMAP initiative on Renewable Energy Resource Mapping that covers biomass, hydropower, solar and wind. This work is funded by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), a multi-donor trust fund administered by The World Bank and supported by 18 donor partners. The World Bank Group has published this solar resource map using data from the Global Solar Atlas (GSA), to support the scale-up of solar power in our client countries.

The effects of terrain are considered at nominal spatial resolution of 250 m. The underlying solar resource database is calculated by the Solargis model from atmospheric and satellite data with 15- or 30-minute time step. It represents the long-term average of daily/yearly totals of global horizontal irradiation (GHI). Singh mentioned that an amount of INR 25.9 million ($403,000) had been sanctioned, and INR 10.2 million ($158,710) has been released up to January 31, 2018, for the development of green campuses.English: Solar resource: GLOBAL HORIZONTAL IRRADIATION (GHI) - this map provides a summary of the estimated solar energy available for power generation and other energy applications. The Ministry provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) of up to INR 500,000 ($7,780) for preparing a master plan for development of the green campus in the educational institutions, office complexes, residential, commercial complexes, and others. So far, INR 1,016.4 million ($15.82 million) has been sanctioned, while INR 259.2 million ($4.03 million) has been already released under the scheme.Р”Р‡urther, MNRE has accorded sanction for the preparation of a master plan for РІР‚ВDevelopment of 52 Green CampusРІР‚в„ў, also under the five-year plan period. Singh notified that solar PV projects with an aggregate capacity of nearly 8.1 MW, and solar water heating systems with the total size of 7,894 square meter collector area, had been sanctioned under the program. The stakeholders committees have been constituted in 21 cities, and solar city cells have been created in 37 solar cities. In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, the upper assembly of parliament, on February 6, MNRE head RK Singh, confirmed that the master plans of 49 solar cities have been prepared. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), under its scheme РІР‚ВDevelopment of Solar CitiesРІР‚в„ў, has approved 60 cities, including 13 pilot and five model cities, as part of the 12th five-year plan period.
