Global · Published Oct 1, 2026
• Monsoon patterns influence solar power generation across India, with western regions benefiting from higher irradiance and eastern areas facing challenges due to cloud cover and storms.

Regional Variations in Solar Irradiance

During weaker monsoons, regions like Rajasthan and Punjab see up to 10% higher solar irradiance, boosting solar power generation. Conversely, eastern states like Odisha and Chhattisgarh experience up to 30% lower irradiance due to cloud cover and storms.
