Solar energy has a bright future in India because:
- India is a tropical country. Most parts of the country have 300 clear sunny days in a year. This provides enormous possibilities of tapping Solar energy.
- Solar energy can enhance India's energy security by reducing its dependence on fossil fuel imports to meet its growing energy needs.
- Solar energy is clean and renewable source of energy.
- The cost of solar panels and associated technologies has been steadily declining, making solar energy increasingly affordable.
- Solar energy is gaining popularity in rural and remote areas.
- Solar energy will replace firewood and dung cakes in rural areas, conserving the environment and ensuring adequate supply of dung cake based manure for agriculture.
