Present Scenario of Solar Energy in India and Scope in Future

INTRODUCTION Sources of energy SOURCES OF ENERGY CONVENTIONAL ENRGY SOURCES (FUELS)

SOLID- Coal, coke, coke anthracite etc. LIQUIDS- Petroleum and its derivatives GASES- Natural gas, Blast furnace gas etc.

NON-CONVENTIONAL ENRGY SOURCES

Solar energy. Nuclear energy. Energy stored in water. Wind energy. Tidal energy. Geothermal energy. Thermoelectric power.

Sun as the source of energy The fusion reaction in which four hydrogen atoms combine to form a one helium atom; the mass of the helium nucleus is less then that of four protons, some mass having been lost in reaction and converted to energy. 4H=1He+energy

Application of solar energy Solar water heating Solar air heating Solar crop and timber  drying Solar water distillation Solar cooking Solar passive and active heating of buildings Solar refrigeration and air  conditioning Solar power generation Solar electricity generation by solar cell etc.



India had an installed solar power capacity of 1700 MW in 2007 which amounted to roughly 1% of its total power generation of  130,000 MW. India is currently ranked 7th in the world in Solar PV cell production

Opportunities     

The major role players for the production p roduction of solar energy in India are: Tata BP Solar  Moser Baer  Central Electronics Ltd. SELCO BHEL etc.

India – A long race in solar power  India is a tropical country rich in sunlight, solar energy offers the most practicable solution to overcoming growing energy demand. The daily average solar  energy incident over India varies from 4-7 kWh per  square meter, depending upon the location. India still is not among the world's top 10 solar energy generators. India the only country in the world with an independent Ministry for renewable energy, known as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy [MNRE]. TATA-BP Solar (a joint venture between the TATA group and BP Solar) announced that it is setting up a 5 MW project. Rajasthan, West Bengal, Punjab, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka governments also submitted the solar energy projects of  more than 2500MW.

Largest solar energy plant of India Situated in madhopur, near Bhuj (Gujarat). It will be able to producing 5GW of  power. It will cost about $475 million to construct. At present world’s largest solar array is able to produce 900 MW.
