Powering India using Solar Panels
The future is green! You’ve heard this phrase countless times through your life. You probably yearn for the days of air, clean and pristine, void of the effects of fossil fuels. Well, those days do not seem far off, with giant steps being undertaken to ensure the day starts green. India is already using renewable sources like wind, solar and biomass for a fifth of its energy requirements. In fact, India is currently on track to be the third largest installer of photovoltaic cells. From small rooftop panels to a predicted total capacity of 100GW by 2022, the growth has been exponential. At braingroom, we always encourage our learners to be updated in their skill set. With the production of solar cells and modules improving with each passing day, the potential of solar seems to shine out amongst renewable options. This is further solidified by the position taken by the Ministry of Power, with abundant support given to spread the usage of solar panels. Our tropical and sunny climate means that the solar energy available in a single year exceeds the possible energy output of all of the fossil fuel energy reserves in India. Not only is solar a clean and renewable energy but switching to PV cells reduces our dependence on exports, thereby strengthening our economy.
