The requirement of energy is fulfilled by exploitation of natural sources like coal, oil and natural gas. To some extend nuclear, hydro and wind power is bridging gap between availability and demand of energy but the efforts and capabilities are still limited. RE contribute only 7.7% of total installed power. Solar energy, the most dependable source of RE, is an alternative which is promising for fulfilling energy demand which is around 12%. The country with around 200 sunny days has immense solar potential. Harnessing this is essential not only to reduce the countries dependency on non-renewable sources but also to preserve the natural resources for our offsprings. Thus using solar energy is the need of the hour and with initiatives taken by the Government and private sector; harnessing solar potential has a bright and promising future in India.

Recent developments of solar energy in India: Perspectives, strategies and future goals

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016

Power is the most paramount ingredient of infrastructure for growth in economics and welfare of a nation. Development for sustaining the growth of the Indian economy in the existing infrastructure is crucial. The power sector of India is one of the largest expanded power sectors in the world. Due to the continuous increment in electricity demand day-by-day, Indian power sector is interfacing some challenges to maintain the balance between the power generation and demand with suffering from supply constraints and shortages in power. For maintaining the ratio of generation and demand of power, moving from conventional sources to non-conventional sources is not only an option, it is a necessity. The importance of using solar as an energy source in India's perspectives in not only to increase power generation, but also to expand energy reliability with considering the environmental, social, independent and financial beneficial properties. This paper analyzes the recent scenario, strategies, availability, future potential, policies and development of solar energy in emerging Indian power sector.

Current Scenario and Future Scope of Solar Energy in India

2018

In the last few decades, the field of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is the most attracting field for researchers as far as the global demand of electricity is concerned, with many innovations, technologies and applications become reality. Solar energy is one of the important categories of Renewable sources of energy which will be helpful for the sustainable development of India. Solar energy is currently fulfilling 5.1% of the total energy need of India which is second highest fulfillment by any category of renewable sources of energy. This paper depicts the current situation and future perspective of utilization of solar energy. In this paper, efforts have been made to summarize the analysis of consumption, current status, and future capability, barriers to implementation and major achievements of solar energy in different states of India.

Future Scope and Potential of Solar Energy in India An Overview

2020

After the oil crisis in 1973, the world has to think about the alternative resource of energy apart from conventional energy resources (coal, gas and petroleum etc.). Solar energy is the most important alternative resource of the world and has a large potential of green energy. India has a huge potential for generating green electricity from the renewable energy sources. To promote the green energy, government of India launching many schemes for the renewable energy resources. The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission was launched on the 11 January, 2010 by the Prime Minister. The Mission has set the ambitious target of deploying 20,000 MW of grid connected solar power by 2022 is aimed at reducing the cost of solar power generation in the country through (i) long term policy; (ii) large scale deployment goals; (iii) aggressive R&D; and (iv) domestic production of critical raw materials, components and products, as a result to achieve grid tariff parity by 2022. Mission will create...

Solar Energy Harnessing in India: An Overview

Owing to India's growing economy, the energy demand is ever increasing, but there is a severe shortage of supply. Increasing concern over environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels has triggered exploration of non-renewable energy resources. Out of such alternate energy sources, solar energy has garnered much interest all over the world due to its easy availability and abundance. In this paper, the benefits and importance of solar energy is highlighted. An overview of potential of solar energy harnessing in India, its present status, barriers and challenges, and the supportive government policies and future prospective is presented.

Solar Power in India

Odisha Review, 2020

In present day scenario solar power is the best alternative to fossil fuel power plants. India has taken an ambitious plan to add 100,000 MW of solar power by 2022. The paper shows the progress and future of solar power in India.

Solar Energy a Path to India’s Prosperity

Journal of The Institution of Engineers (India): Series C, 2018

Solar energy technology has grabbed a worldwide interest and attention these days. India also, having a huge solar influx and potential, is not falling back to feed its energy demand through non-conventional energy sources such as concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV). This work will try to add some comprehensive insight on solar energy framework, policy, outlook and socioeconomic challenges of India. This includes its prominent areas of working such as grid independent and 'utility-scale' power production using CSP or PV power plants, rural as well as urban electrification using PV, solar powered public transportation systems, solar power in agrarian society-water pumping, irrigation, waste management and so on and so forth. Despite the fact that, a vast legion of furtherance and advancement has been done during the last decade of solar energy maturation and proliferation, improvements could be suggested so as to augment the solar energy usage in contrast to conventional energy sources in India.

Solar Energy in India’s View: A Review

Journal of emerging technologies and innovative research, 2019

Solar vitality is the most promptly accessible wellspring of vitality. It doesn't have a place with anyone and is, in this way, free. India gets solar vitality proportionate to more than 5000 trillion kWh/year, which is unmistakably more than the absolute vitality utilization of the country. This paper surveys about the idea of the solar energy and perspective on solar energy examination in India's perspective. IndexTerms – Solar Energy, Solar Cells. Solar Plant

Solar Energy & Status in India

Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy. It does not belong to anybody and is, therefore, free. It is also the most important of the non-conventional sources of energy because it is non-polluting and, therefore, helps in lessening the greenhouse effect. Solar energy has been used since prehistoric times, but in a most primitive manner.India is one of the few countries with long days and plenty of sunshine, especially in the Thardesert region. This zone, having abundant solar energy available, is suitable for harnessing solar energy for a number of applications.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPECT IN THE SOLAR ENERGY SECTOR IN INDIA

International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development

As we know that the conventional sources of energy like coal, natural gas, crude oil etc. are available in a limited manner on the earth and these sources formed after the transformation of million years. This alarming situation and increasing demand for consumption of energy in different forms, led us to look for the alternate sources of the energy which can fulfil the current and future energy demands in a sustainable manner. Non-conventional sources of the energy i.e. Solar, Wind, Hydro and Nuclear Energy can play an important role in order to solve this problem. This paper presents the current development and future prospects in the field of Solar Energy, especially considering the India's concern in this regard.
