Against the backdrop of long hours of power cut and growing demand for power in the State, Tamil Nadu has come out with “Solar Energy Policy 2012.” The policy envisages 3,000 mega watt of solar power in the State in three years.

Several industrial and commercial consumers are already going in for solar energy generation. For instance, the RVS group of educational institutions here plans to install 600 kilo watt solar systems in six of its colleges. The Solar Energy Policy will now boost solar power generation in all segments and at different scales of generation – roof tops to large capacity plants.
