Indian Government's Measure for Use of Solar Energy
Author: Jon Harwokey
Indians have embarked on the beginning of the last days of the age of oil. Embrace the future and recognize the growing demand for a wide range of fuels or ignore reality and slowly—but surely—be left behind.
The human activities have always caused an adverse effect on the environment. When the population was small, productive and the available resources were abundant, the conventional sources of energy could be utilized .But with the increase in population and the growing demand of energy has caused in over exploitation of the renewable natural resources worldwide. In order to meet the rising demand, every nation is concerned with search of alternative methods which can efficiently satisfy its people’s wants. The use of solar energy is one of the striking options available in hand.
India is blessed with approximately 300 sunny days in a year, India’s theoretical power reception is on the land area is 5PWh/yr (=5000 trillion kWh/yr). The daily average solar energy incident over India ranges from 4 to 7 kWh/m2 with about 2,300–3,200 sunshine hours per year, depending upon location. This is much more than current total energy consumption. With such high potential of solar energy government of India as taken several measure to promote to the use of this renewable source of energy. In fact, India was one of the first few countries to realize the critical importance of the renewable energy. India’s late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi set up a separate department for Non-conventional Energy way back in 1982.
India is one of the rare countries in the world to have dedicated exclusive ministry set up to promote clean, green and environment friendly renewable energy. Another prominent society being formed is Solar Energy Society of India(SESI), its interests cover all aspects of renewable energy, including characteristics, effects and methods of use, and it provides a common ground to all those concerned with the nature and utilization of this renewable non-polluting resource.
For generation of solar energy solar panels are being installed that coverts the heat energy from the sun to electric energy. There are government programs offering incentives and rebates to countervail the cost installation and for the equipment. Government of India has also planned to launch a National Solar Mission which aims to promote the development and use of solar energy for power generation and other uses in the country. The Mission targets 20,000 MW solar powers, by the year 2022.The ministry of new and Renewable energy have organized certain programs to address issues and share the experiences of the stakeholders including NRIs in promotion of Solar Energy in India.
Several schemes for financial support are being announced for the use of roof top solar photovoltaic system and reducing the diesel consumption in commercial establishments, institution, shopping malls, and government buildings facing power shortage during day time.
