Abstract: This paper is a study about the different aspects involved in successfully setting up a solar-based technology.It’s important to dwell on the industry dynamics regarding the key players, challenges and results. With a detailed secondary research, to really catch the right pulse of the sector I elected to conduct a study of few commissioned projects attempting to cover the gamut of Solar industry focusing on key sector characteristics: feasibility studies, technology, execution, and operational and financial aspects. My first study was a 5.75 Solar PV project located in Osiyan, Rajasthan. Having heard about Solar PV from team Osiyan, I wanted to understand the other technologies used in the solar industry. The Government in Phase-1 had given equal emphasis to Solar PV and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) projects. My choice was, therefore, a CSP project awarded in Phase-1 – a 50MW Solar Thermal project in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
