Abstract

Energy is an essential ingredient of socio-economic development and economic growth. Countries such as Germany and other European countries in the world have been developed specific regulatory mechanisms. These mechanisms are developed to encourage its use either by government programmes or by financial and/or tax incentives. In India, there is large existing solar potential but despite it the encouragement to technology is still incipient. India is in a state of perennial energy shortage. Here the demand supply gap is almost 12% of the total energy demand. This trend is significant in the electricity segment. This segment is heavily dependent on coal and other non-renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy (RE) sources contribute only very less amount of energy as compared to the total installed power capacity of in India. In coming days, solar energy will play important role in development of renewable energy sector in India. Solar energy can be harnessed by solar PV, solar thermal and solar hybrid technology. This paper focused on study of various technology of solar power energy generation.
