Modhera, in the Indian state of Gujarat, is the country’s first 100% solar-powered town, demonstrating that battery storage may offer 24/7 clean electricity to rural areas.
Modhera has a population of only 1,400 people and is home to the Sun Temple, which is devoted to the Hindu Sun God Surya.
In a project backed by the national government Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), it was chosen as the ideal location to demonstrate that access to power can be made equitable, universal, and totally renewable.
