๐ŸŒžBHADLA SOLAR PARK RAJASTHAN, INDIA๐ŸŒž


๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ”ŽINTRODUCTION 
⚡In my previous blog i explained about pavagada solar park in tumkur, Karnataka which has a total generating capacity of 2050MW and now I'm going to give you some brief information on another world largest solar park that is the Bhadla solar park in rajasthan. Bhadla solar park has a generating capacity of 2245MW that is about 195MW more power than the pavagada solar park,which makes this the world's largest solar park. When we compare Bhadla solar park, it is open for the entire duration of 24 hours where's the pavagada solar park does not operate on full 24 hours but it has got some timing restrictions. 

๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ”ŽEXPLANATION ON BHADLA SOLAR PARK 

⚡Bhadla Solar Park is the world largest solar park as of March 2020 located in India which is spread over a total area of 10,000 acres (40 km2) in Bhadla, Phalodi tehsil, Jodhpur District , Rajasthan, india.The park has total capacity of 2,245 MW.The park has witnessed one of the lowest bids for tariff of Rs 2.44 per kWh, which is lowest for solar in India so far.In September 2018 Acme Solar announced that it had commissioned India's cheapest solar power, 200MW at Bhadla.the Bhadla solar park is established on 20th March 2020.the coordinates of the plant are 
27.5396685°N 71.9152528°E. Generally in this solar park flat panel photo voltaic cells are used. 

๐ŸŒžActual location of the Bhadla solar park๐ŸŒž


⚡Bhadla is a sandy, dry and arid region with an area of about 45 km2. located in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. Bhadla is about 200 km north of Jodhpur and about 320 km west of Jaipur.
