Abstract
We, the people of Earth, are so much scientifically advanced that we have reached the Mars and invented nano particles with which the size of all the equipment and gadgets are getting smaller and smaller but yet we are unable to save our own Mother Earth. Pollution is in its peak, greenhouse effect is increasing day by day, climatic change is on rise and fossil fuel is depleting at a fast rate. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and create more pollution to the environment. But we have tremendous amount of renewable fuel which while using do not pollute the environment. These renewable fuels are hydro energy, solar energy and wind energy. With the increase in population, there is also an increase in the consumption of non-renewable fuels like fossil fuels due to which India’s dependence on imported fuels is increasing. This is the high time where MNRE should give special attention in the development of solar heat applications in all sectors. MNRE and the State Government should invest more in the R&D, increase the awareness, give more subsidies and encourage the people for the adoption of solar energy. Solar energy is the most efficient form of energy which not only the alternative source but also helps in reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and helps to reduce global warming. India receives solar energy equivalent to over 5000 trillion kWh per year with about 300 clear sunny days in a year and most of it remains unused for human well-being. Many nations have understood the problem and to amplify the use solar energy in their country they are providing a broad range of financial, promotion, subsidies and other instruments. In this paper we discuss the strategies to tap the large amount of solar energy which we get naturally but remain unused.
