India is the third-largest consumer of energy in the world. India is a developing nation, and its demand for energy is always rising. In this nation, fossil fuels are the main energy sources. A switch from fossil fuels to non-conventional energy is necessary as they grow more expensive, harder to find, and have other drawbacks. Solar energy is abundant, and it may be used to produce power. With an increase in the area under the agriculture sector and the improved living style/standard of the rural population, the requirement for electricity in rural areas increased. This study focuses on the need for electricity in villages. The study area is located at Khadakwadi, Taluka Parner, Dist. Ahmednagar. Detailed information about the consumption of electricity in households and Agriculture is collected. To fulfil the village’s electricity demand with solar power, the required area, cost, and the design of the solar plant will be analyzed. The study will focus on the possibility of a reduction in conventional electricity charges for each household and farmer by switching to solar-powered equipment. From the study it was observed that with a growing family, there is an increase in electricity use. The highest electricity consumption was found in the month of May. The lowest electricity consumption was found in the month of December. Thin film -Cadmium telluride (CdTe) material was found to be the best and most efficient for manufacturing solar panels. This prototype can be useful for a self-sustainable village model using solar energy.
