Abstract
This paper represent and assessment on solar power resource available in India. Day by day electrical energy consumption is increasing which also increases the generation of greenhouse gases due to uses of fossil fuel. The pollution level is crossing the danger limit, so world is moving towards practices of renewable energy sources. Solar energy is one of the largest and easily available renewable energy sources. Through this paper an attempt has been taken to discuss the solar resource available in India and the potentials related to solar energy has to be discovered. One detail case study on solar power uses has been given, the problem related to solar power application has been highlighted and finally the future aspect in India on solar power has been mentioned. India collects good annual solar emission although having several climatic zones. With this background India began its study towards renewable energy over three decades ago.
