Overview of solar energy in India

In recent years, the renewable energy markets, industries, and policy frameworks have evolved rapidly. Solar and wind energy generation across the globe has increased substantially during past few years and shares a significant proportion of the total generation in the grid. These renewable generation is concentrated only in a few states in India marginally, to a extent and serious thought needs to be given to balance the variability of such generation. In this paper, we emphasize about the need for a smoother shift of energy from the conventional towards the renewable energy resources and developing an in-built consciousness about the necessity for a change of energy in the upcoming future. Also, in this paper we emphasize on solar power in India.
