Solar energy obtained from the sun is one of the largest contributors of renewable energies in India and also in most of other countries. Other renewable energy resources are wind energy, hydropower energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, biomass and biogas energy. Solar energy being cost effective, everlasting and reliable as compared to all other form of renewable energies is being harnessed on larger scale for mitigating the energy crisis and climate crisis in India and other developing as well as developed nations. In fact solar energy has become a major tool for sustainable socio-economic development of the countries as it does not produce any waste gases or materials which are harmful to the environment. In order to achieve its ambitious installed capacity target of 280 Gigawatt (GW) by 2030, the government of India has established 42 solar parks across the country and India being the founder member of international solar alliance (ISA) has put forward the concept of “world solar park” so as to harness the solar energy on commercial scale and become self sufficient in terms of energy demand.
