The document outlines how to become an entrepreneur in the solar energy sector in India. It discusses the working of solar plants, requirements like land and funding options. It also addresses distributing generated power, necessary government permissions, problems faced by solar plants like dust accumulation, and recommendations such as improving solar panel lifetime through research funding. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions from coal power through increased solar power capacity.

3. INTRODUCTION
 Domestic power situation in India could become more severe as the
demand-supply mismatch in coal is projected to increase from 137 million
tonnes in 2012 to 326 million tonnes by 2030.
 Installed capacity of solar plants in India is 3,743MW (2015).
 To reduce the carbon emissions form thermal power plants we go for
solar power plants.(coal generation 55%)

7. FUNDING
10/24/2016 UDAY KIRAN DOKALA 7
Loans:
Recourse Financing :
Recourse Financing requires collaterals and other extensive guarantees from the Solar
developer who wishes to avail loan.
Non-Recourse Financing:
does not require any additional collateral as the Asset or Power Plant itself is the
collateral in this case
Subsidy:
Capital Subsidy of 30% on the project cost upto a maximum size of 500 KW. Subsidy
cannot be claimed for plants beyond 500 KW size
