The environment is an important part of our day-to-day life and it fulfils our basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. In our environment, we can find natural resources, biotic and abiotic things. For parochial interest, human beings are gradually destroying the environment and fulfilling present needs, but more and more natural resources are exhausted, which are not abundantly found in the world. Day by day, due to the population explosion, there is a danger to the environment. Basically, there are two types of energy resources, renewable and non
renewable sources of energy. Renewable sources can be recycled and abundantly found, such as solar energy, wind energy, hydropower energy, and non-renewable sources of energy are fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, etc. Non-renewable sources of energy are found in a limited way. Through coal, thermal energy is produced, but it is harmful to the environment and exhaustible. Therefore, the government of India has initiated the International Solar Alliance with 121 countries to produce green energy through solar panels. The present research may show, how solar energy will be an alternative source of energy for environmental preservation. Through NITI Aayog, the government is focusing on renewable sources of energy for solving environmental problems. It has also kept a target that by 2050, to make India a zero carbon emission country.
