In another case, Instagram user @sundar jani posted the same video on June 19, claiming that the clip showed a solar power plant in Bhuj in Gujarat.<\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/h4>\n

To verify the authenticity of this claim, we broke down the viral clip into multiple keyframes and ran a reverse image search on some of them. This led us to an Instagram post<\/a> from June 16, which featured the viral clip. This post was made by the page @shanghai_views, and the caption mentioned, “Solar panels meet the sea, rice paddies climb the mountains \u2014China\u2019s innovative farming & energy solutions are changing the game!”<\/p>\n

This indicates that the viral clip showing the solar plant is actually footage from China.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We found another Instagram post made by the Chinese media outlet China Youth Daily<\/a> on July 7, which also featured the same viral clip and the caption accompanying the video indicated that the clip was from China.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Further, while checking if any official Chinese sources had shared this video, we came across a Facebook post from Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning dated July 3, 2025. She mentioned in the caption, “From city grids to coastal waters, China is tapping the sun to power a greener future”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We also checked if there were any news reports about a floating solar power plant in Gujarat, and found a 2023 report<\/a> by the Times of India about floating solar panels being installed on the Narmada Canal. We looked for the visuals of the plant and found a video on CNBC Bajar’s YouTube channel, posted in September 2024. The visuals are not in any way similar to those seen in the viral clip.<\/p>\n
