India had been in the media very often because of its energy problem. The usable amount of energy what India possesses was far from sufficient for all its inhabitants. Besides that, the energy network was extremely unreliable, which meant that the people who have access to electricity regularly do not have power either. This was very unfortunate for a developing country like India. The lack of a dependable energy system made it hard to develop as a country and made it highly unattractive for foreign companies to settle in India and set up a new business. In order to be able to compete with other emerging economies, India had to improve its energy supplies to be self-sustainable. Therefore, the Indian government has been investing among others in solar power over the past few years. Solar power is for India a great opportunity, as the amount of sunlight is inexhaustible. Additionally, it also adds up to a sustainable development from which India can benefit. Nowadays, the progress of India is clearly visible. The education has improved, the unemployment rate has declined and above all, the energy network has become reliable. Hence, many foreign companies established in the big cities of India and the economy began to flourish. About twenty years ago, scholars started investigating the possibility of a solar power network in India. Today, many researches have been done and the solar panels are widely spread all over the country. The advantages of solar power in India are clear to everyone. On the other hand, there is room for improvement. Numerous articles and books are already written about solar panels, but the way the generated energy is stored is rather unknown amongst most people. It is most important to look at the storage f... ... middle of paper ... ...e/RETScreen/ Ottinger, R.L. (2013). Renewable Energy Law and Development: Case Study Analysis.

With concern over global warming growing, people are starting to turn a more serious eye toward cleaner sources of energy. Instead of solar power making a comeback as the ideal form, we are seeing a growth in the use of wind power. Wind farms are beginning to crop up all around the country. This new trend has gathered significant attention. Questions are being raised concerning the effects wind farms may have, from critics and supporters alike. Michelle Nijhuis, in the article “Selling the Wind” discusses the arguments on behalf of and in opposition to the increasing use of wind power, addressing what the consequences may be on the United States.
This chapter explains the passive solar design techniques both in general context as well as in context of havelis. It also explains the key factors of passive solar design used in havelis of Rajasthan.

India is catching up with development in many large areas of the country with structures, homes, agriculture and business. The conventional energy generation is with coal and with the ground not producing enough for India to power the country power plants are forced to purchase pricier imported coal. This is a great opportunity to sell their product moving India well into a solar energy country using raw resources. Greenlite could work with the existing power plants to help India move them into cleaner energy the factory would offer jobs to the community, the cost of employees would be low considering the cost of living is low. This would bring the factory into making profit much quicker. Looking further into the future Greenlite could build more factories in India producing more job opportunity for the people and more energy to sell globally and supply for
The future of the United States solar energy industry will be shaped not only by economic growth, but also by the rate of declining oil resources and the global realization of the consequences of human induced climate change. Political responses to this realization in the United States include; new policies, legislature, and tax incentives to both businesses and private households to promote growth and investment in the solar power industry.
Preview: Today I will discuss the potential that solar power has to become this country’s main supply of energy and the latest research that can make solar power more efficient and cost effective. I will also present the environmental benefits that come with using solar power over other and more harmful forms of energy.

Regarding to solar power, Mistry claims that although the solar power does not generate pollution, it has a lot of costs. To built solar panels with a photovoltaic equipment has high costs. For instance, a photovoltaic system just for a home can cost around $35,000 (Kumar, 2012). However, if our goal for the future is to get a healthy environment, switch fossil fuels for solar power might be the best choice to achieve that goal. According to Kumar (2012), Solar power is a clean and renewable energy so, it decreases the dependency on fossil fuel and also reduces the air pollution. When the sun heats the panel, it generates clean energy which does not pollute the environment. All in all, the costs of solar power might not be applicable when it is certainly the best way for having a clean
