Solar Power Potential in Rajasthan

Abstract

With the development of India into modern Industrialization electricity consumption will increase which increasing prices of fossil fuels. And also increase environmental Pollution which consequences of greenhouse gas emissions have renewed the interest in the development of alternative energy resources. The Solar energy is best source for generation of electrical energy. The solar energy is completely free because it is produced by the sun light and non-vanishing renewable source of energy. Rajasthan is a state in northern India. The state covers an area of 342,239 square kilometers or 10.4 percent of the total geographical area of India. The population of this state is very law so land acquisition for solar power project is also easy in this state. Second reason for solar project is best in Rajasthan because the climate of Rajasthan fairly hot temperatures over the year with extreme temperatures in both summer and winter. So in this paper we will discuss about solar power project which is currently run in Rajasthan and their capability according to region. We also discuss of feature accepts of solar project in Rajasthan.

Keywords: Solar cell, solar array, effect of climate on solar power, site selection for solar, different solar power project run in Rajasthan
