The rapidly growing solar and wind energy programmes in India have created a techno-economic opportunity in the energy market. Apart from the possibility of providing the much-needed energy solution to our citizens, the promise to young academicians and workforce is significant in the new clean energy sector. All these have happened in the last four to five years and, if the country were to take the National Solar Mission initiative forward, developments in solar photovoltaic power generation are likely to realize grid parity within the next few years and mitigate the energy deficiency to a great extent.
