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 …

What can I power with a 100w Solar Panel

Leave a reply

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.

Masdar City & its Mistakes

Leave a reply

If one flies over the desert of Abu Dhabi, out of nowhere there appears a huge, geometrical shaped complex with many buildings.

Why Masdar Failed

The city was supposed to be a model for high-tech, carbon-neutral cities powered off green energy, but instead the city has become a ghost town.

Masdar City – the US $ 22 billion project was started in 2006 and was supposed to be completed in 8 yrs (by 2014). The plan was to use solar energy for 70% of the power generation of the city.  Today the project has already been… Continue reading →
