INTRODUCTION
• Solar power in India is a fast developing industry.
• The country's solar installed capacity reached 23 GW as
of 30 June 2018.
• India expanded its solar-generation capacity 8 times
from 2,650 MW on 26 May 2014 to over 20 GW as on
31 January 2018. The 20 GW capacity was initially
targeted for 2022 but the government achieved the
target four years ahead of schedule.
• The country added 3 GW of solar capacity in 2015-
2016
• 5 GW in 2016-2017
• over 10 GW in 2017-2018
 LITERATURE SURVEY
• Electricity Act 1910
In 1910, the Indian government introduced the first act on electricity which provided a proper
structure to the Indian electricity sector
• Electricity Act 1948
This Act was adopted from the United Kingdom’s electrify (supply) act of 1926
• Electricity Regulatory Commutations' Act 1998
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and State Electricity Regulatory
Commission (SERC) were made and detailed framework of the responsibilities was provided
in this act.
• Electricity act 2003
This act provide a proper frame work of policies to use the renewable energy
• National action plan on climate change
Inception of national solar mission took place on 11th Jan 2011 to increase the amount of solar
energy in the Indian power sector.
• Jawaharlal Nehru National solar mission (JNNSM) scheme
JNNSM Scheme in India having a vision to install 20,000 MW of solar power till 2022
connecting to grid and reducing the cost of solar power

 SOLAR PV TARIFF

•The average bid in reverse auctions in April 2017 is

₹3.15 per kWh
• compared with ₹12.16 per kWh in 2010, which is
around 73% drop over the time window.
• The current prices of solar PV electricity is around
18% lower than the average price for electricity
generated by coal-fired plants
•Solar PV generation cost fell to ₹2.97 per kWh for the
750 MW Rewa Ultra Mega Solar power project, India's
lowest electricity-generation cost
 CONCLUSION

•A Through analysis of the solar PV status in India

has been done for different states till date on the
basis of Tables.
• MNRE, MOP, International Solar Alliance (ISA),
etc. are making many policies to increase the
deployment of solar technology in the Indian energy
sector due to which the rate of diffusion of solar
technology has increased from 2009.
• The central and the state nodal agencies need to
take steps on the factors mentioned above which
may compile the solar PV policy of India
