India's choice for energy is solar source
Our coal reserve as on April 2012 is 114 Billion tons. India's annual coal consumption is 600 Million average. Coal consumption doubles (approx) in every ten years because of growth in installed capacity. We can imagine the crisis waiting after say about 30 years from now. Shortage of coal will create chaos in power sector. Importing coal from abroad is not recommended as the cost of coal from abroad will be costly. THEY decide price according to the market vagaries and political compulsions. I see, India's choice for energy is solar source. Let us think deeper to find way outs to harvest solar energy in a big way. Our present share is just 1000 MW plus out of world solar capacity of 102000 MW. We need not do much research for fast progress. There are success stories of various countries. Just learn from them and adopt it with modifications to suit Indian conditions.
Note that 100% renewable energy goals are becoming the new normal world over. Let India move in that direction.
Germany is in the forefront in total solar installed capacity. At present they have an installed capacity of more than 30000 MW. They achieved this tremendous progress following a concept "FEED IN TARIFF" (FIT). They aim to have 80% of system capacity share from solar by 2050.
The concept FIT was evolved in Germany in the 1980s. The Federal Government (Germany) enacted the "Law on Feeding Electricity into the Grid" in 1990. This law was primarily developed by Dr.Hermann Scheer. This law gave priority to renewable energy sources for guaranteed access to the grid and incorporate a comprehensive 'Feed-in-Tariff' system. It became known as "Scheers-Law" around the world. Today it has been introduced, to some extent, by over 75 countries around the globe. Germany applied this LAW for popularizing solar energy harvesting. They amended this LAW in 2000 with comprehensive concepts evolved by using feedbacks from 1990 onwards. They achieved wonderful results in the years that followed. Solar generation took upward growth from almost nil in 1990 to 30000 MW in September 2012. At present Germany adds around 600 MW solar capacity to the grid EVERY month.
Fixing a Feed in Tariff is the center point as envisaged in the "Scheers-Law". This could find a way out to the 'high cost' arguments against solar energy.
The three parties involved in a grid connected rooftop solar plant (RSP) can be summarized as:

The three parties involved in a grid connected rooftop solar plant (RSP) can be summarized as:
- The producer (consumer) who owns the RSP and produce/consume/transmit energy.
- The utility who purchases energy generated by producer and feed into grid.
- The society that is benefited by the energy generated.
