Journal of the institution of engineers (India): Series CSummary: India has a huge potential to generate solar electric power due to its topology and weather pattern. The typical kWh reaching the planet from the sun is in the order of thousands of trillions annually out of which most of these regions get 3.5 to 7 kWh/m2 every 24 h. The solar energy in nature can, in turn, be applied to the heating system/space heating as well as to the establishment of electricity by means of solar-thermal and solar-photovoltaics. In addition, the capacity for extending solar power in our homeland is massive. The complementary part of solar is that it can also be produced as distributed energy, which enables the current ability to be added within a short period. The supplying of electrical energy to the areas that have limited access can be electrified easily by solar stand-alone power and, it is also possibly used for heating and cooling of villages and metropolitan areas. The sun is often considered supreme in terms of safety. Preferably, even a very minimum percentage of the solar energy harvested could potentially serve the needs of the entire country, although it involves real-time difficulties. In the current Indian situation, the generation of thermal power with regular hydro-carbon based material is well applied due to its cost efficiency. Solar can be supplied at a minimal cost via continuous development work and the launch of new technologies. This paper identifies the fundamental challenges/barriers in the procurement of solar power in India, in particular by photovoltaics, which could serve as useful guide for energy engineers and offer specific guidance on how to procure solar electrical power and other applications in an acceptable manner.
