India earth day

An Indian worker sprays water onto panels of India's first 1MW canal-top solar power plant at Chandrasan village of Mehsana district, some 45 kms from Ahmedabad on World Earth Day, April 22, 2012. This solar power plant on a 750 metre stretch of the Sanand Branch Canal of Sardar Sarovar Project will generate some 1.6 million units of clean electricity per year and will also prevent evaporation of some 90 lakh litres of water per year from the canal. The project has been developed by the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) and is scheduled to be dedicated by Gujarat state Chief Minister, Narendra Modi on April 24, 2012.
