A simple introduction to this answer can revolve around a general statement about solar energy.

India has enormous solar energy potential. Solar photovoltaic electricity may be successfully harnessed, giving enormous scalability in India. Solar also permits dispersed power generation and quick capacity increase with short lead periods. Off-grid decentralized and low-temperature applications will be helpful for rural applications as well as addressing other energy demands for electricity, heating, and cooling in both rural and urban locations.

Solar energy has had a noticeable influence on the Indian energy landscape in recent years. Millions of people in Indian communities have profited from solar energy-based decentralized and distributed applications that satisfy their cooking, lighting, and other energy demands in an environmentally benign manner.

You may incorporate some of the following points in the body of your answer:

Initiatives taken by India

Development of Solar Parks and Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects

• It was rolled out in December 2014 with the objective to facilitate the solar project developers to set up projects expeditiously.
• The solar parks are developed in collaboration with the State Governments and their agencies, CPSUs, and private entrepreneurs.
• The scheme’s second phase has an objective to set up solar PV projects through Government Producers using domestic cells & modules in WTO compliant manner to facilitate national energy security and environmental sustainability for Government purposes.

Examples: NTPC Floating Solar Plant Ramagundam (100 MW), NTPC Floating Solar Plant Kayamkulam (92 MW), Rihand Dam Floating Solar Power Plant (50 MW), etc.

Grid Connected Solar Rooftop Programme

The objective of the scheme is to achieve a cumulative installed capacity of 40,000 MW from Grid Connected Rooftop Solar (RTS) projects.

Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (KUSUM) scheme

The scheme has three components:

• Component-A: For Setting up 10,000 MW of Decentralized Grid Connected Renewable Energy Power Plants on barren land.
• Component-B: For Installation of 17.50 Lakh stand-alone solar agriculture pumps.
• Component-C: For Solarisation of 10 Lakh Grid Connected Agriculture Pumps.

One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG)

• The idea for the One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) initiative was put forth by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi, at the First Assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) in October 2018.
• In May 2021, the United Kingdom and India agreed to combine forces of the Green Grids Initiative and the One Sun One World One Grid initiative and jointly launch GGI-OSOWOG at the COP26 summit being hosted by the UK at Glasgow in November 2021.
