Abstract

India is an energy deficient country, where a large fraction of the population still does not have access to modern day energy services such as electricity. This is due to very limited fossil fuel resources and poor economy, which restrains the import of fossil fuels on a large scale. To overcome energy shortage, India needs to develop its indigenous energy resources like hydropower, solar and wind. India lies in an area of one of the highest solar insulation in the world. Accordingly, the status and outlook of solar energy use in India are discussed. It is concluded that the current infrastructure has not been able to advance the status of solar energy in India. Significant efforts are needed to effectively utilize this cheap renewable energy source.
