Abstract

Solar energy is defined as the sun’s radiation that reaches the earth. It is the most readily available source of energy. The sun is the earth’s power station and the source of all energy on our planet. Solar energy is the energy force that sustains life on Earth for all plants, animals and people. It provides a compelling solution for all societies to meet their needs for clean, abundant sources of energy in the future. India is densely populated and has high solar insolation, an ideal combination for using solar power in India. Solar energy is widely used in India. This paper presents the solar energy current production in India from different stats and needs of solar energy for rural area development in India. The solar energy could supply all the present and future energy needs of the world. The most explored renewable energy technologies for power generation in India, namely, Solar pond, and Solar Photovoltaic systems need more sophistication for long-term benefits. This paper also summarizes the direct solar usage systems like Water heating system, Solar Drying, Solar Cooking and Solar Distillation. Solar energy can be tapped directly (e.g. PV); indirectly as with wind, biomass and hydropower; or as fossil Biomass fuels such as Coal and Natural Gas.
