Solar power is soaring in India. A recent auction for 500 megawatts of capacity at Bhadla solar park in Rajasthan saw a record-low tariff of 2.44 rupees per kilowatt-hour (kWh) - that's around four cents in dollars. Solar tariffs have plummeted by 25 percent in the past three months. But this isn't all good news - there's worry that as tariffs get so low, many solar projects in India could become unviable.
