        abstract = {India’s electricity sector is undergoing a major transformation driven by the need to reduce fossil fuel dependence and achieve sustainable growth. Solar energy has emerged as the most promising renewable resource due to its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and technological adaptability. The role of solar energy in shaping India’s green electricity future by reviewing photovoltaic (PV), concentrated solar power (CSP), and hybrid technologies. It highlights the national trends such as capacity expansion, decentralized solutions, and policy initiatives including the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, PM-KUSUM, and rooftop solar programs. Global perspectives on solar adoption, technological advancements, and investment frameworks are also discussed to place India’s progress in context. The study further examines the benefits of solar power, including environmental protection, energy security, economic development, and public health improvement, while also addressing challenges like land use, grid integration, and solar waste management. Findings indicate that solar power is not merely an alternative energy source but a transformative force for India’s sustainable future. With continued innovation, effective policy support, and responsible environmental management, solar energy will become the backbone of India’s electricity system, contributing significantly to climate goals, rural electrification, and long-term economic growth.},
