Solar Power - India

The demand for alternate sources of energy like solar has surged worldwide due to global warming and shortage of conventional sources. Solar energy accounts for less than a fraction of the total renewable energy installed capacity in India. In the current scenario, solar energy is less affordable as per unit cost of solar energy is 4X-5X other conventional and non-conventional sources. However, due to tropical location and the government initiatives, India has the potential to become a solar hub. Government has introduced various reforms and incentives to encourage domestic and multi-national companies to set up plants in India.
