Abstract
There is a wide gap between the demand and supply of electrical energy. Far away rural areas are having dispersed loads in nature and hence increased transmission and distribution losses. Thus increasing electrical demand drives the attention towards available and feasible choices of distributed generation. India being a tropical country, solar is the natural choice of sustainable alternative. An attempt has been made in this paper to assess the issues of rural electrification India and presizing of distributed solar generation.
