Barriers in the Advancement of Solar Energy in Developing Countries like India

The present paper puts an emphasis on the current energy market scenario and different types of barriers associated with the advancement of solar energy in a developing countries like India. Solar energy, best suited for urban environment, can be housed in a limited space and is characterized as a pollution free, environmentally friendly, as well as noise-free source of electricity. Among the available renewable energies, solar energy is considered to be an integral one, owing to its reduction in cost at an exponential rate day-by-day. The present study deals with the potential of solar energy market in the Indian sub-continent along with several other problems that it needs to overcome in order to be established as an independent system.
