Abstract. The main objectives of using renewable energy enable us to attain sustainable growth without compromising the future. India is on the 7th nation in generating renewable energy while the USA, China and Germany are on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. Secondly, in case of Solar energy, the statistics are: India is on the 7th nation in generating solar energy while China, Japan, and Germany are on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively, Generating 9, 78, 42.8 and 41.2 (GW) gigawatts from solar power. India having great opportunities in generating solar power because of its location and the availability of largely unused land banks throughout the nation. The purpose of the paper is to examine the challenges to the adoption of solar energy as a means of generation of energy and power for the nation's requirement. The hurdles/factors identified for the study is 16 and a targeted data collection of 105 for the study using convenient sampling technique throughout India. The research finding shall contribute to the existing body of knowledge and provide suggestions to the policymakers, the manufactures and the local bodies working on the ground to implement the solar energy as an alternate energy resource to fossil fuels in India.

“…La visión que da el desarrollo social facilita la crítica a visiones eminentemente tecnológicas. Su propuesta basada en la articulación social y productiva de una comunidad se relaciona, asimismo, con los esfuerzos orientados a la generación de energías renovables en regiones periféricas y semiperiféricas del mundo, como también sostiene el enfoque de "sistemas energéticos sociales" (CLOKE et al, 2017). En este sentido, el análisis de las dimensiones socio-culturales revela la existencia de potenciales mejoras basadas en "detonantes de innovación" de la propia comunidad.…”

El presente artículo se orienta a la sección temática de la convocatoria sobre 'Ingeniería y desarrollo social', particularmente en relación al tópico 'Estudios tecnológicos, desarrollo y sociedad'. Se aborda el caso de las comunidades semi aisladas de las tierras secas del noreste de la provincia de Mendoza (departamento Lavalle) a través de la pregunta de investigación ¿Cuáles son las características de las comunidades semi aisladas de las tierras secas de Lavalle que facilitan u obstaculizan transiciones socio-energéticas? El estudio de dicha área bajo una perspectiva integrada, presenta contribuciones tanto en el campo de las transiciones socio-energéticas, como así también en la línea de investigaciones sobre comunidades aisladas y semi aisladas. El análisis permite comprender qué tipos y qué grados de transiciones socio energéticas son esperables y deseables de acontecer según una perspectiva de desarrollo social. La metodología de trabajo es cualitativa e interpretativa y se aplica a un estudio de caso en el cual se identifican aquellas dimensiones socioculturales relevantes que condicionan transiciones tecnológicas en el ámbito energético. La investigación procura brindar herramientas para que los debates energéticos, particularmente en los niveles local y regional, se orienten al análisis de lo que significan los cambios complejos asociados (tecnológicos, sociales, culturales, ambientales) en un entorno con un marcado sentido de identidad y rasgos distintivos, como en el caso de las comunidades semi aisladas que se sitúan en zona áridas. PALABRAS CLAVE:Transiciones Socio-energéticas. Comunidades semi aisladas. Tierras secas. Desarrollo social.

“…Second, as suggested by Mishra et al [17], effective local governance goes hand-in-hand with high community participation and involvement. This starts from initial engagement to understand local aspirations for growth [30], involving communities in capacity planning, setting tariffs, and construction. The ability for anybody to raise issues, discuss them collaboratively, and adapt the rules to local needs [31][32][33] is critical to instill a sense of ownership in the community.…”

Background: Community-owned solar mini-grids (SMGs) are increasingly promoted to provide communities access to reliable electricity, empowering local actors as they become active stakeholders in projects. However, early failures and difficulties in building local capacity have raised questions regarding their long-term sustainability and ability to be replicated to provide socio-economic benefits to the communities. This study assesses the sustainability of 24 community-owned SMGs in India operating over extensive periods of time using a novel scoring framework using mixed methods to derive its conclusions.
