The solar park is a concentrated zone of development of solar power generation projects and provides developers an area that is well characterized, with proper infrastructure and access to amenities and where the risk of the projects can be minimized. Solar Park will also facilitate developers by reducing the number of required approvals. Large size projects have a potential to bring down the cost of Solar Power. Therefore, Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects having capacity of 500 MW or above have been planned in India. Large chunks of land are available in some States for solar park development. There are some developers who are keen to individually take up very large projects. Land has so far been identified in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Uttarakhand. Smaller parks in Himalayan & other hilly States where contiguous land may be difficult to acquire in view of the difficult terrain are also being considered. Smaller parks are also being considered in States where there is acute shortage of non-agricultural lands.More InfromationSolar-Park-Guidelines
