How to Reduce Delhi’s AQI with Rooftop Solar – Exolar Energy

Blog By Dheeraj Kumar. Delhi’s AQI regularly crosses 400+ (Severe), making air pollution a serious health concern. While traffic and construction are visible causes, a major hidden contributor is coal-based electricity and diesel generators. Rooftop solar offers a practical, long-term solution.

Why Electricity Generation Impacts Delhi’s AQI

  • Coal power plants emit PM2.5, SO₂ and NOx — key causes of smog
  • Diesel generators release toxic fumes during power cuts
  • Urban electricity demand increases pollution indirectly

Proven Solar Impact (Facts)

• Every 1 MW of rooftop solar can reduce nearly
1,000–1,200 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year
• Solar power generates electricity with zero smoke and zero emissions
• Reduced pollution improves solar efficiency itself

How Rooftop Solar Helps Reduce Delhi’s AQI

How Rooftop Solar Helps Reduce Delhi's AQI1. Replaces Coal & Diesel Power
Every solar unit generated directly replaces electricity that would otherwise come from fossil fuels.

2. Cuts Diesel Generator Usage
Solar systems reduce reliance on DG sets during power outages, eliminating a major local pollution source.

3. Local Power = Cleaner Cities
Rooftop solar generates electricity where it is consumed, reducing grid load and transmission losses.

Final Thought

Solar panels may not remove smog overnight — but they stop creating it.
Every rooftop solar system is a step toward cleaner air, healthier lives,
and a sustainable future for Delhi.

Solar is not just about saving money.

It’s about saving Delhi’s air.
