India’s Power sector is expanding but due to increasing population energy demands are increasing day by day. Solar energy is infinite energy resources to meet up long term energy crunch. India is a tropical country, where sunshine is available for longer hours per day and in great intensity. India has great potential in solar energy. The government also runs various schemes on solar power to increase the energy production and supply. This study is focusing on current status of energy generation, solar energy, its potential, government schemes and importance of solar energy to meet the energy crisis This paper also discusses upon the various challenges faced in the efficient and effective utilization of solar power and gives recommendations.

Solar Energy, Potential of solar energy, Energy scenario, Future of solar energy
