Khariya Mishar is an 80 MW solar power plant in India, commissioned in 2021. It contributes 0.24% of India's total solar capacity of 33,174 MW, which includes 875 solar plants. The largest solar plant in India is Bhadla solar park at 2,245 MW, making Khariya Mishar 28.1 times smaller. Ranked #56 of 875 solar plants in India, Khariya Mishar's 80 MW capacity represents a small fraction of the country's solar energy output. The largest solar facility, Bhadla solar park, dwarfs this plant, highlighting the scale of solar energy production in India. Nearby plants include Lalitpur TPP (1980 MW, Coal), Rajghat (MP) (45 MW, Hydro), and Matatilla (30.6 MW, Hydro). The facility is located in Madhya Pradesh, approximately 300 km south of New Delhi.

Solar power generation harnesses the sun's energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar thermal systems to produce electricity. The basic principle of solar power generation involves converting sunlight into usable energy. When sunlight hits a PV cell, it excites electrons in the semiconductor material, generating an electric current. This process is known as the photovoltaic effect. Solar thermal systems, on the other hand, use sunlight to heat a fluid that, in turn, produces steam to drive a turbine and generate electricity. Both methods provide a clean and renewable energy source that is gaining significant traction worldwide.
