1.1 General

The biggest problem in our country is power crisis. Around 70% coal is used for generation of electric energy. Irrigation and industry production is get affected due to load shedding, daily shutdown, etc. So we need to move towards renewable energy sources to generate electricity.

Now a days renewable energy sources are growing fast not in just India but many other countries. Solar energy is clean, efficient and abundant source of alternative energy. The use of solar energy Solar energy decreases greenhouse effect. Area wise seventh largest country is India and has good sunshine. Solar energy is energy produced by sun created through a thermonuclear process and this process crates heat and electromagnetic radiations. These electromagnetic radiations have the energy that reaches the earth. Solar energy is the indirect source of energy so we need two main components: firstly the collector to collect radiations which are coming from the sun and convert it into the electrical energy form, secondly storage unit as radiations are varying in nature. To solve the energy crisis solar energy will be an excellent solution but to use land mounted solar system is the requirement of land which is very costly and less available to get it. India will generate up to 1.75 GW solar powers from renewable energy sources and 1 GW of solar power in upcoming 10 years. As per the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission around 5000 MW has been commissioned till date in different parts of the country. To make the country consuming green power in world, the progress is not just sufficient and needs hard efforts by every state and state departments.
