In 2008, a national conference, National Conference on Emerging Trends in Photovoltaic Energy Generation and Utilization was organized at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. It was well attended by the world-known experts in the field of photo-voltaic science and technology. It was then declared that solar photovoltaic is destined to become the technology of future electricity generation. There were a few concerns.  Low efficiency of solar cells, the high price of solar systems, high tariff, grid parity and electricity boards (Discoms)reluctance of connecting solar to grid fearing its instability. In 10 years,  solar cells efficiency has improved significantly, 380-400 Wp solar modules are available, solar prices have plummeted to 1/3, parity to the grid already achieved with the tariff as low as Rs.2.44 /unit and likely to decrease further. Discoms and electricity regulation bodies are now confident of the quality of solar electricity.
