There are so many other benefits also like prevention of climate change and nature procurement. This article concentrates on the factor of solar radiation that influences the optimum collection of solar radiation. This article is an attempt to Bridge the gap between previous researchers and new research. It is not possible to study or survey of entire research in a single research paper. So I have taken a district of South Region that is Coimbatore (Tamil-Nadu) and data analyses on the basis of factors such as wind speed, relative humidity, Sunshine hours, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and air pressure. The Methodology is quantitative Perspective. And the impact on the price of PV cell with the change in time and technology, which may be helpful for the government as well as the private sectors in India, because we think that the initial capital cost of solar panel installation is too high. This may be a source for selection of proper location and also proper PV cell. Nowadays, measurement of solar radiation is very essential for the different-different field of applications, such as meteorology, climatology, hydrology, pollution forecasting and also for agriculture. Also for the design and operation of solar energy conversion devices, solar radiation is considered as a most important parameter. Key Words: Global solar radiation, factors of radiation, non-conventional energy, distribution of incoming solar radiation, change in position of the sun with time, price variation of PV cell. 1. INTRODUCTION In Today’s era, there is a global energy crisis in India as well as in entire world and this will increase day by day due to the depletion of conventional energy sources. To overcome this problem, the demand for the development of alternative energies has also grown in past few decades. Therefore, to complete this energy demand, solar energy is one of the best elimination for conventional sources (such as coal, oil, wood etc.) because these are limited and also creates pollution due to high carbon content. As we know that entire India, as well as the world, is suffering from “Climate Change”, for prevention of climate there is a lot of money expended by so many countries like the USA. This is due to high concentration of carbon and its oxides such as Carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) present in air, due to air pollution which results “Global Warming” and due to Global warming, the temperature of surrounding also increased and this increase in temperature will also utilize as a solar energy. 1.1 India Scenario of Area India is one of the biggest countries in South Asia. India has 29 states and 7 union territories and the population is around 1.35 billion (in 2018), which is accounting for more than 17.74% of world’s population. It is 7 th largest country in the world with total land area 3,287,263 km square. It has a land frontier of 15,200 km and coastline of 7,517 km. India measures 3214 km from North to South and 2933 km from East to the west. The energy consumption of India is at 4 th position in the world i.e. after China, USA and Russia. 1.2 Solar energy scenario in India Renewable source of energy is the great opinion for the long-term view. Among the various renewable energy sources, India receives a very large amount of solar energy, which is about 300 clear sunny days (Pillai and Banerjee 2009) in a year. India receives approximately 5000 kWh/year and the daily average solar radiation incident over India varies from 4kwh/day to 7kWh/day. The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) was launched by Prime minister of India in 2010, with a target of 20,000 MW solar power capacities by 2022.
