Abstract This study presents a comprehensive examination of India's evolving energy landscape with a particular focus on solar power development between 2013–14 and 2023–24. Utilizing descriptive secondary data analysis drawn from government sources such as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Central Electricity Authority (CEA), and Energy Statistics (Pejagotus), the research evaluates year-wise production trends, installed capacities, growth rates, and state-wise performances. The findings underscore the dynamic rise of solar energy, which recorded the highest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) among all renewable sources, with Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu leading in installed capacity. However, the study also identifies persistent barriers impeding widespread adoption, namely inadequate grid infrastructure, storage and intermittency issues, high capital investment, and policy execution gaps. It emphasizes the need for targeted strategies, including financial instruments for MSMEs, improved subsidy disbursement systems, and investment in energy storage technologies. By comparing traditional and renewable generation patterns, the paper highlights India’s growing alignment with global sustainability commitments and its readiness for a solar-powered future. The study concludes by suggesting that future research should explore the technical and economic feasibility of solar installations in MSMEs, particularly in emerging solar states like Kerala. Such focused analysis could inform localized energy planning and foster inclusive, low-carbon industrial growth.
