Solar plants in India play a key role in harnessing solar power and generating an abundant amount of energy.
The variability of the solar power may be managed by scattering the solar plants across a larger region, thus taking advantage of the geographical smoothing effect. The diurnal changes of PV solar power output in clear-sky days over time intervals in the range of minutes may be small, but those same clear-sky changes of solar power output can be significant over

European deployment of photovoltaics has slowed down considerably since the record year of 2011. This is mainly due to the strong decline of new installations in some major markets such as Germany and Italy, while the United Kingdom and some smaller European countries are still expected to break new records in 2014. Spain deployed about 350 MW (+18%) of concentrated solar power (CSP
