Solar Energy Solar energy can be used through two main routes: SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC For direct electricity generation SOLAR THERMAL For heating, cooking, drying and electricity generation
Solar Resource Availability in India Daily solar radiation 4-7 kwh per sq. m. 250-300 sunny days in a year. 600,000 MW from 1% land area. 5000 trillion kwh solar radiation incident in a year. Radiation data collected by India Meteorological Department. 123 Solar Radiation Resource Assessment Stations have been set up in the country by MNRE. NIWE has launched Indian Solar Radiation Atlas providing resource at any location.

RPO - Policy Provisions Section 86 (1) (e) of Electricity Act, 2003 mandates SERCs to fix RPOs. Tariff Policy amended in January, 2016 provides for Long-term RPO trajectory to be prescribed by MoP Out of total RPO, Solar RPO to reach 8% of total consumption of energy, excluding Hydro Power, by March, 2022 Discom to Procure 100% power from Waste to Energy plant Uniform RPO across the States All the SERCs have notified the Regulations specifying the solar and non-solar RPO for the obligated entities in their State. NAPCC suggested renewable energy share for 2009-10 to be set 5% and increased 1% every year.
RPO Declaration by SERCs and Compliance Solar RPO ranges from as low as 0.25% to 2.5% for 2016-17 some of the SERCs yet to declared Solar RPO Only a few declared RPO trajectory up to 2022. As per NAPCC recommendations the total RPO for 2016-17 to be 12% RPO Compliance: Above 100% RPO compliance by Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttarakhand and A&N Island. 100% to 60% compliance by Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Tripura, Chandigarh and Lakshdweep. Less than 60% compliance by rest of 17 States including Delhi and 3 UTs
