how does solar energy solve energy problem to some extent in India

Answer 1

In my opinion, solar energy can surely solve the energy problem to some extent in India as

(i) India is a tropical country and has enormous possibilities of tapping solar energy.

(ii) It is expected that use of solar energy will be able to minimise the dependence of rural households on firewood and dung cakes.

(iii) Due to rising prices, serious environmental threats and much longer period in replenishment of oil and gas, there is a need to shift to non-conventional sources of energy like solar energy.
