    Sustainable development:

    The purpose of sustainable development is to achieve human development objectives while


    preserving natural ecosystems' ability to give humans access to the resources they depend on. A
    civilization where resources and living conditions satisfy human needs without harming the
    stability of the planet is the goal. The goal of sustainable development is to strike a balance
    between social progress, environmental preservation, and economic growth. These days, the idea
    of sustainable development is centered on the preservation of the environment for coming
    generations as well as social and economic progress.

    The Rio Process, initiated at the 1992 Earth Summit, initiated the concept of sustainable
    development. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted the Sustainable
    Development Goals (2015-2030) to address global issues like poverty, inequality, environmental
    degradation, climate change, peace, and justice.

    We can link energy sources as wind energy, tidal energy and solar energy, etc. with sustainable
    development as these energy sources reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the
    environment. Also rainwater conserves water, helping in reducing the energy needed for
    treatment, and helps manage water scarcity.

    So lets further discuss about the following topics.

    Solar energy:

    Solar energy is the radiant light and heat of the Sun that is harnessed using a range of
    technologies such as solar power to generate electricity, solar thermal energy (including solar
    water heating), and solar architecture.

    Installing solar panels can result in significant cost savings, with some governments providing
    incentives and tax credits for installation. The solar energy industry also creates job
    opportunities, with skilled workers developing and maintaining solar systems. Furthermore, solar
    energy promotes energy independence by reducing reliance on the grid and providing a
    consistent source of power, particularly in remote areas. Overall, solar energy provides numerous
    benefits to both individuals and the environment. Further is breakdown of more points related to
    solar energy.

    Global Solar Energy Production:

    Bhadla solar park is the largest solar park in the world, located in Rajasthan. It covers about
    14000 acres of land. Its energy capacity is about 2245 MW; meaning this single solar plant is
    capable to fulfill the electricity demands of whole Kolkata city. This is an example of what solar
    power is capable of.

    Globally, the country of Morocco is said by the world leader of the world; its 20 per cent energy
    demands are fulfilled through solar energy. It has the world’s largest concentrated solar plant.
    A concentrated solar power (CSP) plant use mirrors to direct sunlight onto a receiver, which
    heats a fluid to generate thermal energy. This thermal energy can be used to produce electricity
    or for industrial purposes.

    The amount of solar energy reaching earth is unimaginable. At all times about 173000 terra watts
    of solar energy reaches the surface of earth. This much energy would account 10000x more than
    earth’s annual energy consumption.
