INNOVATIVE SOLAR POWER TECHNOLOGY TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY

Abstract

India is undergoing a massive development in al spheres be it real estate, transport, power, industry, education, agriculture, urban and rural lifestyle etc. everything needs energy and power. At present India has installed capacity of power generation from all the resources of about 1.59 GW with a declared shortage of about 13.3% in peak load supply. Further there are regular power cuts in the most of the cities and a very erratic, low quality and inadequate power supply in rural areas. The capacity addition every year taking place is not commensurate with the ever increasing demand in the country. Hence, three is utmost need to harness power from all resources. Further due to environment concerns, spiraling fuel prices, fuel security concerns and support for green power, it has become imperative to look forward for renewable energy i.e. from wind, biomass, small hydro and solar energy etc. as a source for energy independence.
