Solar power could help the country combat climate change, secure energy independence and offer opportunities for industries, Prime Minister Manmohan Sing said recently The National Solar Mission, he added, could establish India as a world leader in solar energy in power generation and technology production.”
The rapid spread of solar lighting systems, water pumps and other solar power based rural application can change the face of our rural energy sector. I’m convinced that solar energy can be the next scientific and industrial frontier in India,” the PN said. As of now, the solar Mission aims at increasing the capacity of solar energy to reach 20,000 MW by 2022, reducing reliance on fossil fuels,
That will provide enough power for 20 million homes, with each receiving one kilowatt of power. Presently, India produces just under 9MW of solar power, as per the Ministry of new and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
