The Soura (Sun) project aims to install solar panels on 75,000 homes, which will contribute 350 megawatts (MW) of power to the state's grid. Combined with the 20,000 houses that already put in solar panels under an earlier initiative, the new Soura project will help Kerala cover about 10% of its electricity needs through solar, according to KSEB, the state's electricity board. Despite Kerala's solar innovations - from the world's first solar airport to India's largest floating solar power plant - the state has lagged behind much of the country in wider uptake of the renewable energy source. According to the experts, Kerala has no other option than solar which is absolutely pollution-free. Swapna Ebi Varkey, a 48-year-old housewife in Thiruvananthapuram who installed solar panels on her roof a few years ago, said she was keen for the government to succeed in its quest to get Kerala's homes running on the sun.
"Suppose every home in Kerala turned into a mini-rooftop #solar power station. Then we could easily make the state clean and green," she said.
