ABSTRACT  The Sun has been worshiped as a life giver to our planet since ancient times. The industrial ages gave us the understanding of sunlight as an energy source. India is endowed with vast solar energy potential. About 5000 trillion kwh per year energy is incident over India’s land area with most parts receiving 4-7 kwh per sq.m per day. Solar photovoltaic power can be effectively be harnessed providing huge scalability in India. Solar also provides the ability to generate power on a distributed basis and enables rapid capacity addition with short lead times. The amount of fossil fuel or conventional sources of energy have forced us to think about utilization of solar energy and solar energy is going to be a best suitable option which can play a major role to meet energy demand in India. It emerges as a huge source of renewable energy both nationally and globally. The large magnitude of solar energy available makes it a highly appealing source of electricity.
