Executive Summary
Energy is a necessary driver of growth and its per capita consumption is growing
all across the world. This is primarily associated with the growth and development.
Any developmental activity in a nation fuels the energy demand. The world already
realise the need to switch over Renewable Energy (RE) source to augment the energy
needs. Clean sources of energy not only help our environment to recover from the
mindless exploitation it has been subjected to in the last 150 years, but also provides
power to millions of people especially in the developing nations. The renewable energy
sector has emerged as the fastest growing industry in recent times and there are hopes
of it getting only bigger in the coming years. Most nations have put plans in motion to
promote this sector in a big way. Green growth is the way to future for the developed
nations and a huge opportunity of energy security for the developing nations. There is
one more advantage which is slowly being recognized as the most important aspect of
this change- it’s potential to create employment for millions in the coming decade. In
India, there is still a huge gap between the demand and supply of electricity. Its power
sector is consistently plagued by shortages. India currently ranks fourth in the world for
green house gas emissions. There is a need to balance the two- the growing huge energy
needs with climate change issues. That is where the renewable energy sources come
into play. The Indian government, Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) has
various policies and plans to advance solar and other renewable energy in the country.
The support from Government is a prerequisite to push forth the emerging concept of
generation-based incentive of solar power. The incentives announced by MNRE are a
well timed policy measure, which is oriented towards a bigger role for solar power and
is based on some gainful insights into the actual operation of megawatt sizes solar
power plants.

Solar Photovoltaic are now a proven technology which is inherently safe as
opposed to other fossil fuel based electricity generating technologies.
This report highlights the details of the proposed power generation scheme, site
facilities, features of the main plant and equipment including the Solar PV array,
electrical systems, evacuation of generated power, environmental and safety aspects,
distribution mechanism and the financial analysis.

4. Introduction
Climate change and fossil fuel depletion are threatening our very existence on
this planet. This is primarily due to our dependence on fossil fuels for an upkeep of
modern day life styles. Nearly 75% of energy usage takes place in urban and semi-
urban areas accommodating large chunks of population. The rapid urbanization with
an accompanying economic development is responsible for a sudden rise in energy
demand. Essential public services like electricity services for homes, transport, industry,
commerce, and other infrastructure run by virtue of fossil fuels. To secure the energy
supply for all this and to mitigate the risks of climate change, RE source of energy form
the most obvious solution. With its abundant solar energy, India can exploit this
resource easily.
Most of today’s electrical energy is generated by fossil fuel based plant with a
low production cost and high reliability. However, concerns about the longer term
sustainability of fossil fuel-based generation, are driving the energy industry toward
sustainable, low carbon emitting, renewable energy sources. Indian government -
MNRE has demonstrated its commitment to the cause of promoting RE power
generation and solar in specific by its current policies.
India is a tropical country, where sunshine is available for longer hours per day
and in great intensity. It is home to one of the most abundant solar resources in the
world, with 2.97 million square kilometres of tropical and subtropical land and an
average of 300 clear sunny days a year. As such, solar power offers significant potential
to meet a large share of the country's energy needs.
It is not only technically and economically feasible for India to make the shift to
renewable energy sources (if this rollout is combined with energy-efficiency measures),
but also prudent to begin this transition now. The Government has recently approved
an ambitious new plan to increase solar power capacity to 20 Giga watts by 2020, under
the National Solar Mission. The Mission is to provide lighting for 20 million homes and
eliminate 42 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
There are several reasons for this urgency. First, India's power-generation
infrastructure is undergoing rapid expansion to meet national development objectives,
with the country still facing unmet power demands that equate to as much as 80 percent
of current installed capacity. Second, they point to rising energy security concerns as
5
energy prices go up and supplies shrink, making it a ripe time to shift to a new model of
energy production.
Of late, solar power investments in the country are registering a fast increase. In
fact, India is a home to many national and international PV manufacturers setting up
large scale PV manufacturing facilities. There is a growing optimism on the fact that
solar power may well attain the much needed grid parity within the next few years.
India is a developing nation and cannot halt its developmental goals. While we
have a need to cut down the GHG emissions, it also has to ensure that its infrastructural
growth is not hindered in any way. Solar energy in India is a potential huge source of
energy. If we are able to harness the high amount of sunlight received by India, then we
can meet its energy demand like no other fuel.
