With about 300 clear and sunny days in a year, the calculated solar energy incidence on India''s land area is about 5,000 lakh crore (5,000 trillion) kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year (or 5 EWh/yr). The solar energy available in a single year exceeds the possible energy output of all of the fossil fuel energy reserves in India. The daily average solar-power-plant generation capacity in India is 0.3
