The ultimate objective is to made solar energy competitive with fossil-based energy options for Kilowatt range of distributed solar thermal & photovoltaic to gigawatt scale within the next 20 years to 25 years. The plan includes:
1. Specific goals for increasing use of solar thermal technologies in urban areas, industry & commercial establishments.
2. By 2011, the solar mission is aim to deliver 80% coverage for all low temperature requirements & 60% coverage for medium temperature applications in all urban areas.
3. A goal of deploying at least 1,000 MW of solar thermal power generation.
Other objectives of the National Solar Mission include the establishment of a solar research centre, increased international collaboration on technology development, strengthening of domestic manufacturing capacity & increased government funding & international support.
