India aims at the Sun, plans big for solar energy
India is home to one of the most abundant solar resources in the world. With 2.97 million square kilometers of tropical and subtropical land and an average of 250-300 clear sunny days a year, if India uses just 2 per cent of the land area to harvest energy from sunshine, the power generated can meet the entire energy need of the country.
India has chalked out ambitious plans for solar power generation. The country plans for a double digit growth in this sector to become world’s fourth largest photovoltaic cell and module producing country by 2012. The government has set a target of about 20 MW and 50 MW for the generation of power from solar energy in the 10th (2002-2007) and 11th five year plan (2007-2012) periods. The aim is to generate 100,000 megawatts of solar power by 2030 and 200,000 megawatts by 2050, with Government funding of Rs.85,000 to Rs.105,000 crores ($18.5 billion to $22.8 billion) over a 30-year period.
