Solar Panels India - Rural Electricity Generation by Solar PV

I recently returned from a trip to India travelling from Delhi to Agra and Pushkar then back to Delhi. Overall given the amount of sun in India I was surprised to see how few solar panels were installed. This was about the only set of Solar Panels we found in India that were in a nature reserve powering a school and other buildings.

Interestingly they were on a rotation mechanism so that they could turn to follow the direction of the sun giving better electricity generation. The downside of solar power generation in India is the temperature which reduces the efficiency of the solar panels. At least in the UK the lower temperatures compensate for the lesser amount of sun so
