Can Solar Energy be a viable alternative for electricity generation in Nepal? “The sun bathes the earth in a steady‚ enormous flow of radiant energy that far exceeds what the world requires for electricity fuel.” The last decade has been harsh enough for the people of Nepal. The power cut being hiked up to 16 hours a day in 2009 provides testimony to the fact that Nepal has been hard hit by energy crisis. Given the over-increasing population‚ along with rapid industrialization and urbanization
