INTEGRATING SOLAR ENERGY INTO URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE IN JHARKHAND: PATHWAYS TOWARD SMART AND GREEN CITIES

Author(s) Mr. Sharad Kumar Srivastava, Dr. Rajeev Ranjan
Country India
Abstract Urban centers in Jharkhand, including Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, and Bokaro, face the twin challenges of growing susceptibility to climate change and rapid urbanization as they undergo sustained growth and modernization. The area's urban infrastructure offers a revolutionary chance to advance resilience, sustainability, and energy independence through the integration of solar energy. This article examines how solar technologies can reshape Jharkhand's cities into smart and green ecosystems. Key pathways discussed include building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), solar-ready planning for new urban developments, smart grids with storage capabilities, solar-powered transport infrastructure, and inclusive community solar initiatives, especially for underserved populations.
Even though these solutions can improve the environment of the state of Jharkhand and the economy by creating jobs and reducing energy poverty, they still need to overcome obstacles, including high upfront costs, legal restrictions, and geographic restrictions. Public-private partnerships, localized rules, regulations, and green financing can all help scale solar integration. This article analyses the potential and significance of rooftop solar urbanism for an inclusive, future-ready urban vision in Jharkhand that is in line with India's clean energy goals.
