• Monsoon patterns significantly affect solar power generation in India.
• While weaker monsoons boost solar irradiance in western regions, storms in eastern areas can reduce output.

Regional Impact of Monsoon on Solar Irradiance

During weaker monsoon seasons, regions like northwestern and southern India experience above-average solar irradiance, benefiting photovoltaic (PV) systems and boosting electricity generation. Conversely, tropical depressions and storms in eastern and central India can lead to below-average irradiance, reducing solar output. These regional disparities highlight the complex relationship between monsoon patterns and solar energy production.
