Introduction: Why Solar Myths Still Exist in 2026 Solar power has grown from a fringe idea into one of the most accessible and impactful renewable energy solutions worldwide. Yet, even in 2025, misconceptions continue to slow down adoption. At Ikaya Earth, we see these myths come up in conversations with homeowners, business owners, and even community leaders. Many people want to transition to clean energy but hesitate because of outdated information. So let’s clear the air.

India’s renewable energy journey is gaining remarkable momentum, and at the forefront of this shift is Uttar Pradesh. With more than 2.85 lakh rooftop solar installations and over 40 lakh units of clean energy generated every day, the state has quickly risen to become one of India’s leading solar power contributors. At Ikaya Earth, we celebrate and support this transition — because every rooftop solar system brings India closer to a sustainable and self-reliant future. A Sola

The way we power our homes is changing. For decades, electricity flowed into our houses in one direction—from the grid to the switch. But today, a new era is unfolding. Solar energy, combined with the rise of artificial intelligence and smart home systems, is reshaping how we live, how we save, and how we interact with the world around us. At Ikaya Earth, we believe this shift isn’t just technological; it’s deeply human. It’s about comfort, empowerment, and creating homes tha

For as long as we’ve looked up at the sky, we’ve imagined ways to harness the endless power of the sun. Solar energy on Earth has grown rapidly, but it still has limits — cloudy days, night-time, weather patterns, and land availability all affect how much energy we can generate. So what if we could collect solar energy without  those limitations?What if solar power didn’t stop when the sun set? This idea isn’t new. Scientists have been imagining space-based solar power  for d

When we think of solar energy, we usually imagine rooftops glistening in the sun or vast solar farms generating electricity. But solar energy is capable of much more than powering homes or businesses. One of the most exciting and lesser-known applications is solar reforming — a process that uses sunlight to convert waste into clean, usable fuel. This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening now, and it could change the way we think about energy and sustainability. What Is Solar

The solar industry in India is moving fast — not just in terms of technology, but also policy. Every few months, new rules come in, old ones get updated, and new opportunities open up for both homeowners and businesses. But let’s be honest: most people don’t actually read  government regulations. So here’s a human-friendly breakdown of the biggest solar regulatory changes happening in India right now — and what they mean for you, your home, or your business. 1. Net Metering I
