India solar energy industry
Solar energy utilization includes:
Solar power generation
Photovoltaic power (mainstream)
Solar thermal power
Solar heat utilization
Solar water heater (mainstream)
Others: solar house, solar oven, solar dryer
and solar sea water desalination

Solar Power Generation
Solar Photovoltaic Power
The amount of solar energy produced in India is merely 0.4%
compared to other energy resources.
India is currently ranked number one along with the United States
in terms of installed Solar Power generation capacity.
India has the fifth largest electricity generation capacity in the
world. Low per capita consumption at 631 units; less than half of
India
The Grid-interactive solar power as of June 2007 was merely
2.12 MW. Government-funded solar energy in India only accounted
for approximately 6.4 megawatt-years of power as of 2005.

Solar Power Generation
Solar Photovoltaic Power (up to 2009)
Mainly in India used in rural areas,
communication stations, oil fields, transport
stations, meteorology and military posts
Number of solar street lighting systems: 55,795
Number of home lighting systems: 342,607
Solar lanterns: 560,295
Solar photovoltaic power plants: 1566 kW
A solar power Solar water heating systems: 140 km2 of collector area
station in New Delhi
Box-type solar cookers: 575,000
Solar photovoltaic pumps: 6,818

Governmental
Support to Solar
Energy Industry

R & D Input
Indian government has been increasing R&D support to renewable
energy industry
the Government has approved a new policy on development of solar
energy in the country by launching of the Jawaharlal Nehru National
Solar Mission
The Solar Mission recommends the implementation in 3 stages
leading up to an installed capacity of 20,000 MW by the end of the
13th Five Year Plan in 2022
10
Financial support
The focal point, for the next 3 years, will be the NTPC Vidyut Vyapar
Nigam (NVVN), which is the power trading arm of the NTPC.
Government will designate it for the purchase of solar power
generated by independent solar power producers, at rates fixed by
the Central Regulatory Electricity Commission and for a period
specified by the latter.
Government will provide equivalent MW of power from the
unallocated quota of NTPC for bundling with solar power.
The utilities will be able to account for purchase of solar power
against their RPO obligations.

Solar Market Development
Combination of solar energy in
building industry
India’s building and real estate
industries in fast moving, annual
building completion area 000 million
m2
Goal: contributing 0.00% of energy
consumption of buildings
Many cities in India launched scheme
of “solar hotwater for million houses”
14
Solar Market Development
Rural areas, a huge market for solar energy
utilization
in 2000, total housing area 17 billion m2
in 2020, total housing area 26 billion m2
Rural housing is scattered in a vast areas,
traditional energy (coal, electricity, natural gas),
not technically and economically efficient
But a great potential for solar energy in rural
areas where there is no access to electricity and
natural gas
15
Solar Market Development
Toward remote areas:
Solar power station for telecommunication
Solar power unit for satellite ground stations
Solar power pumps
Solar power station for schools
Solar power unit for individual farmer
households
Solar power unit for frontier military posts
