SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAICS - THE ENERGY OF THE FUTURE
Photovoltaics production has been increasing by an average of more than 20 percent each year since 2002, making it the world's fastest-growing energy technology. At the end of 2009, the cumulative global PV installations surpassed 21.000 megawatts. Driven by advances in technology and increases in manufacturing scale and sophistication, the cost of photovoltaics has declined steadily and is expected to be soon in par with the non-renewable electricity.
In July 2009, India unveiled a plan to produce 20 GW of solar power by 2020. Under the plan, solar-powered equipment and applications would be mandatory in all govenment buildings including hospitals and hotels. At present, 20 solar PV manufacturing companies are active in India.
India is expected to adopt a policy of developing solar power as a dominant component of the renewable energy mix since the subcontinent has the ideal combination of both high solar insolation and large customer base. Some even think that India can make renewable resources the backbone of its economy by 2050 without compromising growth. The country needs 100.000 trained hands in solar energy in the next 10 years. Employment potential is huge in this area.
