Impact and role of solar energy in sustainable development in india

Abstract

Extensive fossil fuel consumption in almost all human activities led to some
undesirable phenomena such as atmospheric and environmental pollutions. Consequently, global warming, greenhouse effect, climate change, ozone layer depletion and acid rain started to appear frequently. In order to avoid further impacts of these phenomena, the two concentrative alternatives are either to improve the fossil fuel quality or more significantly to replace fossil fuels with environment friendly, clean
and renewable energy sources. It must be the main and common purpose of humanity to maintain environment for the betterment of future generations with sustainable energy developments and the known limits of fossil fuels force the societies of the world in the long run to work jointly for their continuing replacement by renewable energy alternatives rather than the quality enhancement of fossil sources. Among these renewable sources, solar energy comes at the top of the list due to its abundance,
and even distribution in nature. Solar energy is environment friendly and a green energy source. Furthermore, it has identified the contributions of solar energy applications in creating jobs opportunities and enhancing ecological protection. Lastly, the standpoint of solar energy technology is drawn up in the application of the energy sector and affords a vision of future development in this field
