Abstract

Solar parks, the cornerstone of India's renewable energy revolution, are crucial to accomplishing the country's ambitious clean energy goals. Large-scale electricity generating Solar plants in designated areas allow for pooled infrastructure, effective use of land and simplified regulatory procedures. This paper describes the role of solar parks in India’s energy landscape and how sustainability is integrated into business models by balancing economic viability, social inclusion, and environmental benefits. This paper focuses on significant solar parks such as Bhadla, Pavagada, and Rewa, it investigates various business models, such as those driven by the private sector, public-private partnerships, and the government. The study emphasizes upon the promotional role of these models in promoting sustainable growth by leveraging innovative financing, community engagement, and favorable policy frameworks. It underscores how this business models minimize costs, provide economic opportunities, involve communities, and protect the environment.
