Lack of Electricity is the major problem faced by developing nations. Out of 571742 villages in India 25722 villages are unelectrified according to recent report by Central Electricity Authority of India. With 30% subsidy provided by the Indian government, electrification through solar PV system in rural areas is economical considering their terrain. Although the average life cycle of PV panel is 25 years but it is eco-friendly and can be used in every areas where electricity is not available. This paper provides an analysis on life span cost for 25 year electrification model (off grid) based on solar cells and the result is compared with the cost of current grid electricity for Kasai village (M.P) in India using RET Screen software.
