From 250w to 500w is a huge jump!…Of course there were a few 300w panel available in the market but to have 500w panel is HUGE!

Two Chinese solar module manufacturers, Risen Energy and Trina Solar, have unveiled first-of-a kind 500 W, 50-cell PV modules.

(OBVIOUSLY the size of the individual cells have increased thus less cells are arranged in a slightly bigger overall area.)

How will the advent of 500 W PV modules change the solar industry?

“For applications where…

All governments schools in rural Maharashtra will use Solar panels to combat frequent power shutdown and improve digital education.

With increasing digitization of schools — e-learning schemes, digital attendance and more — schools need to be self-reliant in terms of electricity to address the need of the hour. To this enbd, the state government will soon install solar panels in every school that would generate 1-1.5KV electricity.

A meeting of state education officials — including commissioner of education Vishal Solanki and school education minister Varsha Gaikwad — was recently held by deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar in Mumbai.

Officials who attended the…
