Abstract
India’s National Solar Power capacity has been set targeted to 100 GW by the year 2022. The recent approvals to ramp up the India’s Solar Power capacity by five times the previous target has been split into 40 GW of Rooftop and 60 GW of large and medium scale grid connected solar power projects. This injects inquisitiveness about the current technologies available to meet the target, as well as the feasibility study to be made to check whether the target of 40 GW roof top will be satisfied by the Photovoltaic only or some other technologies like Rankine cycle steam turbine generators or Stirling engine should be scaled down to small capacity, since the photovoltaic available in the market is having an average efficiency of 18%. Hence bifurcations of the requirement have to be made to achieve the target with more overall solar to electrical efficiency. And, the effort made here is to show that the target can be achieved with the same or less amount of cost and space which are the major concern nowadays.
