Answers
Correct answer: Option C (Rajasthan).
Correct question:
Which state is largest solar energy user/consumer in India?
A. Madhya Pradesh
B. Punjab
C. Rajasthan
D. Maharashtra
In the given question, There is no option of Karnataka. But Karnataka is a largest solar energy user/consumer state in India. But in the given question, considering the given options: Rajasthan state is largest solar energy user. Rajasthan is a largest state in India which covers almost 10% geographical area of India. Also, Rajasthan is a hottest state in India.
The total solar capacity of Karnataka state according to 2018 is 5328 Megawatt which is highest in any Indian state. Karnataka state share almost 20% in solar sector. Telangana state is the 2nd largest solar energy producer and user state in India. The total solar capacity of Karnataka state as of 2018 is 3500 Megawatts. The solar sector share of Karnataka state is 22%.
Rajasthan is 3rd largest solar energy user state in India. It produces 3081 megawatts electricity (2018) and it's solar sector share is 14 %. The next state is Andhra Pradesh which produces 2829 Megawatt of solar energy and it's solar sector share is 16 %. Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra are the next states in list.
Solar Energy: Solar energy is renewable source of energy and electricity. The energy obtained from directly sun is called as Solar energy. The solar energy is available at unlimited quantity and it is renewable source of energy i.e. This kind of energy do not affect in any way to environment and nature. The sun is the main source of solar energy. The heat is obtained from sun in the form of heat through solar panels. The solar panels converts the heat energy in the form of electricity and hence the electricity is produced.
Solar energy is one of the most convenient way of getting electricity. As it is Eco-friendly, it doesn't harm to nature in any way. Solar energy is available at very large quantity on earth and it will be until the end of the Earth. Hence, We should always use solar energy for generation and production of electricity. India is one of the fastest developing and growing country in the world. As of Feb 2019, The solar installed capacity of India reached to 34440 Gigawatts, which is really something.
- The government of India has targeted to achieve 22 GW capacity as of 2022.
- The solar energy is used for industrial as well as commercial purposes in India at large scale.
- As of 2018, About 118,700 homes in India are installed with solar electricity.
- Under a national program, India is planning to have 47000 street solar lightnings.
- Karnataka is largest solar energy producer in India. Telangana is 2nd most solar energy producer.
- India has achieved 5th global position in terms of producing solar energy.
- China is the most solar energy user country. It's solar energy use is 1,75,000* Megawatt.

Answer: Rajasthan Option - (D)
According to the given options to this question the right answer is option (D) - Rajasthan:
Rajasthan is the third biggest state in India which have the largest use of solar energy in india.
The first and the second biggest state which have the major use of solar energy are as follows:
KARNATAKA:
Karnataka is the 1st largest use of solar energy in India. According to the use of solar energy at Karnataka the solar energy is covered with the largest amount of area.The last and the latest solar coverage recorder and renewed at the year 2018 at Karnataka.
As Karnataka is a plain and the place is too much of hot and it covers a larger area of land for producing solar energy. Most of the houses at Karnataka are use these solar energy for cooking, and other daily wages.
It helps the people to get free current supplies are the night time when there's a problem of a long power cut. They do keep the solar panels at top of their houses which helps the people to get a lots of solar energy and electricity each day.
Secondly the second largest state in India is Telangana.
TELANGANA:
Telengana is the second most largest state in India to produce the solar energy and this is the second largest state to use the solar energy after Karnataka. Even telengana is a state located in south India.
According to the first answer it explains the largest states which are the producers and the uses of the solar energy.
Here I am going to explain about what is solar energy and what are it's benefits:
WHAT IS SOLAR ENERGY ?
Solar energy is a type of nature resources. This is obtained by the heat and light, from the sun. This is a type of non-conventional energy.
TYPES OF POWER RESOURCES (TYPES of ENERGY) :
1) Conventional energy.
2) Non-conventional energy.
ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY:
1) This is Inexhaustible.
2) This doesn't make any kind of pollution.
3) The hot countries like India have a largest producing of solar energy.
DISADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY:
1) This costs too much expensive.
2) Diffuse source of energy, sometimes get wasted.
3) Couldn't be used in the cold places.
Basic information:
Solar energy is obtained from sun. The sun produces heat and light. The heat and light falls on the solar panels. The energy is conserved and converted. People make use of this each day. Uses such as: Cooking, heating water, having electricity, etc..
NOTE:
This solar energy couldn't be used in the cold places and at the countries such as Antarctica, etc..
There are many other types of energy used by people all over the world such as follows:
1) Hydel power.
2) Solar energy.
3) Wind energy.
4) Nuclear power plant.
5) Geothermal energy.
6) Tidal energy.
7) Biogas.
Some are conventional and some are non-conventional sources of energy.
