India Solar Potential Map

Another solar potential map, inspired by the new 4,000 megawatt plant in the works for Rajasthan.
It is supposed to lower the price of solar powered electricity and compete with coal powered plants.

Thanks ESRI!

(Update 10/28/13: Here is a wind potential map: India Wind Potential. I'm sure others have noticed, but the transmission network already connects to the northern area where there is high wind energy potential. This is because hydro-electric plants exist up there. Seems to me to be a fine place for a relatively large scale wind power facility.)
