Abstract :

India has tremendous energy needs and is finding it difficult to meet those needs through traditional means of power generation. Electricity consumption in India has been increasing at one of the fastest rates in the world due to population growth and economic development. India�s economic growth has been some what stalled because the amount of energy generated is inapt to keep the growth motor of India running at the desired speed and there are energy shortages almost everywhere in the country. Renewable energy also has the advantage of allowing decentralized distribution of energy � particularly for meeting rural energy needs, and thereby empowering people at the grass roots level.
