In India, the government has released a draft policy for setting up wind-solar hybrid plants to strengthen the country’s booming renewable energy sector. One of the major drawbacks of both wind and solar farms today is that power is produced only during certain intervals—when the sun shines during the day, or when there are strong enough winds, typically during the evening. By combining wind and solar farms to create a hybrid renewable energy plant, power can be generated at almost all times.
