Although a wide variety of sustainable natural energy resources are available, usableness depends on technical feasibility and government intervention. Solar energy is a widely accepted solution for electricity generation due to its unique availability. With promotion of the solar power as a means for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG7) of the United Nations, this study is motivated to review information on solar power as a renewable energy source and to examine how Sri Lanka is ready for such move to relieve the economic burden from imported energy.
