TejKshetra: A Dataset for Solar Farms Potential Site Mapping using Suitability parameters in India

This dataset is a structured, high-precision compilation of environmental and solar irradiance data sourced from NASA POWER, covering India's major geographic zones over the span of one year (January to December 2022). It includes seven critical parameters—such as solar radiation, temperature, cloud cover, albedo, and precipitation—essential for evaluating solar power generation potential. The primary goal of the dataset is to aid in the identification of optimal locations for solar energy infrastructure by applying geospatial and machine learning techniques. Carefully preprocessed for consistency and organized for ease of use, this dataset is not only useful for current solar site suitability analysis but also offers long-term value to researchers, urban planners, and policymakers. It supports advanced analytics like clustering, classification, and visualizations, and can serve as a foundation for predictive modeling, transfer learning, and sustainability-oriented decision-making in the field of renewable energy.
