Solar Thermal Power Plant

India had 23 GW of solar power installed as of June 2018, with Karnataka being the top solar state at over 5,000 MW. Tamil Nadu has the 5th highest solar capacity in India. The Kamuthi Solar Power Project in Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu is the world's 6th largest solar park at 648 MW. Solar power technologies include solar thermal, which heats water and spaces, and solar photovoltaic, which produces electricity. Parabolic troughs, Fresnel reflectors, dishes, and power towers are examples of concentrated solar thermal technologies used for industrial processes and power generation.
