Make Solar Panels compulsory on all Buildings, Shop & Farm else fine them Rs 100,000/yr

Recently there were news articles about Venkaiah Naidu appealing to Indian govt & firms to install Roof Top Solar Panels.

Prime Minister Modi too has been asking people to use Solar Power and even made a lot of policies for people to find it easy to install Solar Power.

But are the people moving? Yes there is movement in that aspect but the movement is very slow. The momentum has not picked up in spite of Solar Panels being able to output more than 6 times the wattage than just 10 years ago.

Output per panel has increased by almost 6 times in last decade!

Even the price for the panels …

Waaree makes Solar Modules for Electric Vehicles

Waaree Energies, India’s largest solar PV manufacturer and a leader in the rooftop segment, has launched customized solar modules, a solar power solution for Electric Vehicles. The modules are expected to increase the efficiency of these EV by 10-25%.

These indigenous modules, specially designed for the transport industry in India, are portable, flexible, lighter, durable and more efficient, making them ideal for vehicles. They are ideal for vehicles where energy is required for many services including auxiliary functions like refrigeration etc. Since these modules are indigenously developed by Waaree, it would be cost effective.

After successfully associating with Bergstorm & Motherson Sumi, Waare Energies is now looking for more such partners to revolutionise the industry.

What can I power with a 100w Solar Panel

Although 250W solar panels are available, in this video, we explore how to determine:

  • how much power a 100W solar panel will generate?,
  • what size battery and charge controller you need to store the power,
  • what you can power with it and for how long?

We also show you how to do the calculations for yourself to figure out what you could do with off grid solar. Note that at minute 7, we included a deration for the inverter losses. Since we are talking about what size battery is needed to put power in, not taking power out, we don’t need to do that step. The battery can be 5% smaller than we calculated.
