National Solar Mission

Introduction: National solar mission is an endeavour of government of India and state governments to provide alternative renewable energy source which is very vital for sustainable growth and development of country. This will be also very helpful in combating global greenhouse effect. National solar mission is the national action plan inaugurated prime minister on 2008. National action plan advocates use of solar energy as alternative renewable energy source because it is easily and abundantly available throughout pan India due to being a tropical country. National solar mission also looked as measure in providing energy secured future. Programme also aim to suggest and provide integrated institutional planning for solar power generations in rural area and adoptions of creative approaches in solar lighting distribution through local and panchayat like institutions.

Importance and relevance of solar energy in India:

India is blessed with ample solar energy available which in turn can produce 5000 trillion KWS power by having average 300 sunny days per year and solar insolation of 4-7 kWh per Sq. m per day. Thus efficient trapping of solar energy could provide an alternative to fossil fuel dependent energy production. With increase in demand for power, now private sector has also started to invest in solar power due to better technological maturity and cost competitiveness. Technology for transforming solar radiation energy into both heat and electricity can harness solar energy effectively and have huge potential in scaling up power production. As there is positive correlation between energy requirement and GDP of the country, solar energy can address energy deficit in demand by both Off-Grid power supply ...

Climate compatible development can be achieved through only by looking to trade-off between these triple strategies, which makes all strategy sides balanced i.e. Solar roof top is used for off-grid solar power generation where land availability is problem. Solar energy has just started his journey to provide greener energy, Thus Climate compatible development through solar energy is still long way to go for India.

    In our glorious planet that we call home, environmental problems have become very real and relevant on a daily basis. As humans living on Earth, we must take immediate responsibility for our actions that have negative affects on this planet. Through our high demands of energy, we have brought upon various problems with our own environment. Our need for immediate energy supplied by fossil fuels hurts not only our environment now but will affect our future generations environment as well. By investing in renewable energies we can take small steps to getting our environmental issues back on track. Solar power in particular is the most accessible and beneficial energy in the renewables economy today. By first analyzing what these environmental problems are, we can take the next step into investigating what we can do to help out our planet.

It can be very easy to compare and contrast them with one another; however, it becomes difficult to categorize them in a way that is useful and precise for discussing the satellites in our solar system. By studying the geological activity of planets and their moons we can better understand the evolution of the solar system. It offers insight as to what bodies in the solar system have been through and are still going through today. Surface features such as impact craters, unusual/uneven terrain, volcanoes and various other forms of tectonic activity provide critical evidence of geological activity. Some of the satellites in our solar system have very

  • Solar Energy Essay

    1263 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Earth captures around 342 W/m2 of energy from the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation, which the atmosphere reflects about 77 W/m2 and will absorb around 68 W/m2 of solar radiation annually. Therefore, the Earth’s surface is receiving, on average, about 197 W/m2 of solar radiation annually. This amount of energy received is roughly more than 10,000 times the amount of all energy humans consume per year. This energy can be used to produce electricity or heat. This energy source is not being used to it’s potential considering how much effort would come into effect to store and transport this energy.
