Abstract

Solar energy is a very clean renewable energy resource among renewable energy resources. Solar power industry has gained momentum over the last two decades. Solar energy can be used both for domestic and industrial purposes at an economical cost. Solar energy has become the talk of the day as shortage of conventional energy is spelled out daily. The amount of solar energy received by India is around 5000 trillion KWH per year. India initiated steps to transition to green energy which would be able to serve the future energy demands. India is the second largest solar power market in the world. Renewable power generation is extracting energy from natural resources. There is a necessity to undertake research and development in order to innovate techniques for harnessing and storing renewable energies. Moreover, attention of consumers towards solar products needs to be improved.
