INTRODUCTION

 Solar power in India is a fast developing industry.

 The country's solar installed capacity reached 23 GW as of 30
June 2018.
 India expanded its solar-generation capacity 8 times from 2,650
MW on 26 May 2014 to over 20 GW as on 31 January 2018.
The 20 GW capacity was initially targeted for 2022 but the
government achieved the target four years ahead of schedule.
 The country added 3 GW of solar capacity in 2015-2016

 5 GW in 2016-2017

 over 10 GW in 2017-2018
LITERATURE SURVEY

 Electricity Act 1910

In 1910, the Indian government introduced the first act on electricity which
provided a proper structure to the Indian electricity sector
 Electricity Act 1948
This Act was adopted from the United Kingdom’s electrify (supply) act of 1926
 Electricity Regulatory Communations Act 1998
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and State Electricity
Regulatory Commission (SERC) were made and detailed framework of the
responsibilities was provided in this act.
 Electricity act 2003
This act provide a proper frame work of policies to use the renewable energy
 National action plan on climate change
Inception of national solar mission took place on 11th Jan 2011 to increase the
amount of solar energy in the Indian power sector.
 Jawaharlal Nehru National solar mission (JNNSM) scheme
JNNSM Scheme in India having a vision to install 20,000 MW of solar power
till 2022 connecting to grid and reducing the cost of solar power

 SOLAR PV TARIFF
 The average bid in reverse auctions in April 2017 is ₹3.15 per
kWh
 compared with ₹12.16 per kWh in 2010, which is around 73%
drop over the time window.
 The current prices of solar PV electricity is around 18% lower
than the average price for electricity generated by coal-fired
plants
 Solar PV generation cost fell to ₹2.97 per kWh for the 750
MW Rewa Ultra Mega Solar power project, India's lowest
electricity-generation cost
 CONCLUSION
 A Through analysis of the solar PV status in India
has been done for different states till date on the
basis of Tables.
 MNRE, MOP, InternationalSolar Alliance (ISA),
etc. are making many policies toincrease the
deployment of solar technology in the
Indianenergy sector due to which the rate of
diffusion of solartechnology has increased from
2009.
 The central and thestate nodal agencies need to
take steps on the factorsmentioned above which
may compile the solar PV policy of India
