Indi India 's Solar Energy

installing solar panels are changing tastes and preferences of consumer. As Energy Sage (n.d.) stated,

Solar energy can save us. Solar energy can reduce pollution by burning fuels in extoridant

The state government of Gujarat proposed a massive project to the central government of India in the year 2010. The project was to build the biggest solar park in Asia. The project was approved and the project is in commission from the year 2012. This project is part of many planned projects that would help the country achieve its 2020 green goal.

Solar Resources are not only affecting the GDP for power, but in other areas as well. Over a million residential water heaters are replaced each year and more are being replaced by using solar power. The solar power is given an opportunity in use solar power as the primary heating source for homes and commercial buildings. Which can increase the amount of GDP that is spend, yearly on solar and a large share of the energy market.

Similarly, India is planning to boost solar power from near zero to 20 giga watts by 2020, part of an ambitious $19 billion, 30-year plan to increase the share of renewables in that country’s energy mix.

In addition, solar energy operational costs are manageable. It is free from monthly charges compared to conventional sources of energy. Solar energy does not require raw materials such as oil and coal, and once the panels are built, there will be no monthly charges. In addition, the prices of fossil fuels are increasing day by day, and this means conventional energy will be very expensive. Solar energy will remain the most capable world’s future power supply because, it is cost effective once the plants are built, and there will be no transport costs like for conventional energy sources. Therefore, solar energy is cost-effective, and will help in future energy supply, as the maintenance cost is affordable, as long as they are installed properly, and are working efficiently ( Hans, 2012). Furthermore, with the improvement and advancement of technology, it will increase its efficiency, and cost of production thus, making it more cost effective and the world’s best

Solar energy and its use isn’t new to the world. It has been used by various societies beginning from 7thCentury B.C, when the sun’s heat was concentrated by glass and mirrors to light fires. Today, we have everything from solar-powered buildings to solar-powered vehicles. By and large solar technology has some environmental, economic, psychological and ethical implications for our society. Actions taken by companies and individuals to increase the use of solar technology will create good local jobs, improve our environment and reduce our dependence on foreign oil while doing what’s ethical and moral for our society.

19 Executive Summary This publication builds upon past analyses of solar energy deployment contained in the Word Energy Outlook, Energy Technology Perspectives and several IEA Technology Roadmaps. It aims at offering an updated picture of current technology trends and markets, as well as new analyses on how solar energy technologies for electricity, heat and fuels can be used in the various energy consuming sectors, now and in the future. If effective support policies are put in place in a wide number of countries during this decade, solar energy in its various forms – solar heat, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity, solar fuels – can make considerable contributions to solving some of the most urgent problems the world now faces: climate change, energy security, and universal access to modern energy services. Solar energy offers a clean, climate-friendly, very abundant and inexhaustible energy resource to mankind, relatively well-spread over the globe. Its availability is greater in warm and sunny countries – those countries that will experience most of the world’s population and economic growth over the next decades. They will likely contain about 7 billion inhabitants by 2050 versus 2 billion in cold and temperate countries (including most of Europe, Russia, and parts of China and the United States of America). The costs of solar energy have been falling rapidly and are entering new areas of competitiveness. Solar thermal electricity (STE) and solar photovoltaic

Someday, our energy sources are going to run out. What will we do? What can we do? Our major source of energy now is fossil fuel. If that were to run out, there must be an alternate way to get energy. Because of this problem, there has been a lot of research going on. Through that research, alternate ways to get energy have been developed. They include wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, tidal energy and many more. In this paper I will focus on the aspects of solar energy. I will look at the history of solar energy, cover the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy and then finally I will talk about the concept of solar energy (how it works) and ways that solar energy can be used in your everyday life.

One of the cleanest and basic energy sources is the solar power by which people can come out with many of their problems. Solar energy power, which is the energy taken from the sun, have a big usage in today’s world. People in all the countries use this energy source for different cases. It can be used for producing electricity, heating, cooking, charging, and much more usages. For example, people in the cities and rural areas of Afghanistan use the solar energy for electricity purposes, and in countries like japan and U.S it has a vast usage in industrial factories. This energy is the power that can be converted in to electrical energy and is the most abundant renewable source available. We can invert this power by modern technologies for different uses like, generating energy, providing light, heating water, and many manufacturing uses. Furthermore, the companies that provide solar shingles can make available many job opportunities. Solar energy technology is a common type of renewable sources that everyone in Afghanistan knows that and

The cost of installation of solar converters is one of the major issues for the society. Due to high costs of installation, lots of people don’t even consider have a solar source installed. However, people don’t usually go into deep analysis, but if you do get into it, you can notice that, yes, it is expensive to install, but the electric bills will immediately drop, making this innovation totally worth the investment.

SOLAR ENERGY IS THE ULTIMATE RENEWABLE RESOURCE                                            Manish Kumar (EE B.Tech)                                                                                                               Universal Institute of Technology, Garhi (Hisar)                                                                                                                manishboora13@gmail.com     Abstract-The energy availability is essentially needed for all living beings in life .The energy resource like coal, natural gas and petroleum products are non-renewable fossil fuels .These are finite and    can be used for limited period of time. Non-renewable resource are also cause environmental pollution .In India various energy source include coal(48%),natural gas (21%,),nuclear (20%),hydro(6%),solar ,wind ,biomass(3%) and other resource (2%).The average energy demand per capita in India 631 kwh(1.7 kwh/day)which is lower as compare to developing countries. Solar energy is the energy with help of which we can generate electricity directly used for heating and cooking .For generation of electricity we use photovoltaic cells or we can say solar cells .India is acclaimed for its sunny areas most of country receive more than 4 kwh/m3/day with more than 300 sunny days per year in most of part of country. Solar energy is free from air pollution, indefinitely sustainable ,helps in preventing the fossil fuels that is why solar energy is the ultimate renewable resource.

India is the seventh largest nation with an area of 3.287 million km2. Moreover, it is a relatively rich and rapidly developing country; for this reason demand for electricity is growing on significantly average at around 5% annually. In addition, one of the most fascinating aspects of solar cells is their ability to convert the most abundant and free forms of energy into electricity

Renewable energy sources exist in nature which are regenerative or inexhaustible like solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, tidal, and wave energy. Most of these alternative sources are the manifestation of solar energy. India is implementing one of the world’s largest programs in renewable energy. The country ranks second in the world in biogas utilization and fifth in wind power and photovoltaic production. Renewable source contribute to about 5% the total power generating capacity in country. The renewable
