With the much-awaited nuclear deal finally getting the nod in the US Congress, scientists across the country foresee a solution to the energy crisis. In the meantime they feel that the immediate solution to India's energy problem lies in tapping of solar energy

It is very useful technology, but as it goes with all technological inventions, it needs to be developed a lot more. This is quite new technology, so there's still a lot of room for improvement. And if solar panels become more efficient and the price will go down, then it gets a lot more attractive for everyone to invest in this technology.

i m fully in support with my friend Vinay Prakash......

the thing is that we have emmense supply of solar energy but to harness it effectively...till today.....our technology just cant meet the need.....

one thing can be done....that alongwith solar energy, we should also go for wind energy which the 2nd most free and readily available source for power generation...

according to me we are enough ahead in wind power technology and should boost its harnessing.....also it definately has the potential to meet our energy or power demands....atleast 50% back-up can reduce lots of power generation problems....

Yes,  it is,

25 Yrs PPA of Vidyut Vypar Nigam Ltd (NVVN) @Rs 18.44/- per unit & for PV and Rs 13.45/- per unit for Solar Thermal, at investments of Rs. 15.00/- Cr. - for Thin Film and Rs. 17.00/- Cr., per MW - for Crystalline, we now are assured of 16% post tax RoE, 30%:70% D:E Ration& 10 Yrs. I.T. Holiday.

Yes.

It is the responsibility of the Government to increase awareness among people and encourage them to switch to solar power. The Government should give subsidy and encourage private companies to enter into this field.

one we have to opt for solar as it is hot in this century,appts,offices,schools should encourage this by subsidyfrom govt.

Yes of course it is going to be the energy for future.But in India,it is not going to be the only source.We have a plan of "power for all by 2012",which by no  means,is achievable(and i'm not the only one who thinks it!!).And yet,given the renewable resources we have,gives us the advantage of being the no.1 destination for production of solar energy.!! But in the meantime we could use other means like power trading which is quite low but a very useful solution for our short term needs and yes,we could use solar energy for power trading purposes,can't we?? But regulatory mechanisms are too slow for this dynamic change to happen. So,let's hope for the best:-)

Yes, This is good solutions but here is the problem is that we and our government is not apply in this sector with planning, so we are getting this project only as higher investment and less output. We are having land in Rajasthan, kuchha (Gujart) where availabilty of solar power is more the times of year. There we can set a big solar power reception sets and further we can sent into National grid, But the expert study required. There we can heat the water upto superhit temp. with the help of glass which concetrat the sun rays up to one point at which we can get the tempurature up to 200 degree and with the help of that superheat we can run generater and produce the electricity in day time very efficiently these type of power projects are running successfully in USA, will india think of that wil the multicompany will  think of these God Knows

I would say yes,,,For many people solar power can be a good alternative to the present power sources. But then the governments need to invest in development of the technology and make it attractive for both individuals and businesses to use it. The sun is free and we should all be really silly if we wouldn't use that!

I agree to you. this is not realistic idea, its far from achieving practically

S, I also Feel that Solar can not be immediate solution for Power shortage... there are couple of reasons..

1. Huge Investments( Interms of Land, Machineries etc)

2. Reliability on the Solar ( Very low Reliability)

3. Can be a long term Source and may get in Practise after say 4 to 5 years time ....

But Solar can not be a immediate solution for Power crisis...

In our country we still lack proper infrastructure which can make us rely only on Solar Energy. We cannot solely depend on Solar energy as we still lack proper infrastructure. To overcome this problem, an idea which can be suggested is, to use all sorts of renewable source of energy like Wind, water, biomass etc also along with solar energy which will altogether make us overcome power crisis to a lot extent....

If solar could be the alternate for the energy crisis, why none of the country's total energy is fully solar based. According to my knowledge, the power we wasted for producing solar panels and other related accessories spend most of the power which that can produce. My advice is to go for LEDs, Light pipes, etc. Since we are much behind in technology compared to european countries, we can follow their procedures. rmohaan@gmail.com

It sounds very nice, but unfortunately theory is rarely as good as practice. Solar power is something that should be developed a lot more, but at this moment the technology is simply not efficient enough to make any serious contribution to the electricity supply.

The first problem is that the cells used on solar panels are hopelessly inefficient and simply don't produce a lot of electricity. Even in hot and sunny areas they don't produce a lot of power. And in regions where the winters are long and dark and the summers short you don't even need to think about building these panels, as the results would be too minimal to even mention
