1. Rajasthan has the highest solar energy potential.
2. Sikkim has the lowest solar energy potential.
Choose the correct option.
Indian States Solar Energy Potential Analysis
Evaluating the statements regarding the solar energy potential of Indian states:
- Statement 1: Rajasthan has the highest solar energy potential. This statement is correct. Rajasthan's vast arid and semi-arid landmass combined with high solar irradiance makes it the state with the highest solar energy potential in India.
- Statement 2: Sikkim has the lowest solar energy potential. This statement is also correct. Sikkim's mountainous terrain, significant forest cover, and climatic conditions result in comparatively lower solar irradiance, making its solar energy potential the lowest among Indian states.
Since both statements accurately describe the solar energy potential distribution in India, the option stating that both are correct is the right choice.
