1. A study from IIT Delhi warns that air pollution and climate change could reduce solar panel efficiency.
  2. India’s goal is to produce 50% of its electricity from non-fossil sources by 2030.
  3. Solar panel performance depends on sunlight quality, temperature, and airflow.
  4. Pollution causes “global dimming,” reducing solar radiation reaching panels.
  5. By 2050, solar efficiency could drop by 2.3%, leading to an annual loss of 840 GWh of electricity.
