The publication titled Orange Deals: Solar Energy Policy Initiatives Worldwide provides an overview of solar energy policies, both thermal and photovoltaic. The global experience on solar energy policies is very topical in India now with the 20-GW national solar mission being implemented. This book, probably for the first time, addresses the mission-mode initiatives taken up in different nations such as Canada, China, India, Mexico, Namibia, South Africa, and United Kingdom to promote solar energy. The chapters of this book, contributed by leading international researchers, also examine the global best-practice regulatory instruments relevant to solar energy promotion. This book also carries opinion pieces on the impact of solar policy initiatives, inter alia, on rural energy provision and energy security from the architects of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission launched by India.
