Modhera, Gujarat was recently declared as India’s first 24 × 7 solar-powered village.

Modhera village in the Mehsana district of Gujarat achieved the distinction of becoming India’s first village to be powered round-the-clock by solar energy. A ground-mounted solar power plant and a battery energy storage system were commissioned, providing solar power to the village households even after sunset.

Modhera is also known for its Sun Temple, an ancient temple dedicated to the Hindu Sun God, Surya, built by King Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty in 1026-27 CE. The solar project adds another feather to its cap, linking its historical reverence for the sun with modern renewable energy technology.
