HAT IS
RENEWABLE
ENERGY?
Renewable energy is energy that is generated from sources which can be
restored or replenished very quickly. Energy from the sun, wind, rivers, tides
likely take place, if global temperatures rise above 2 C. Coal is the major
fossil fuels, natural gas and coal which are predominantly used in todays
contributor to climate change and currently our global emissions are rising

Fossil fuels are also unevenly distributed around the globe, requiring

them!.
In fact, renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass and hydro power) already
accounts for 22% of worlds total energy production. Solar energy is one of
adopting solar energy and already has around 3 GW of solar energy power

exponentially since the Asia started to develop rapidly. This has led to the
the largest building boom of coal power plants in history. The impacts of
emitting too much CO2 into the atmosphere are disastrous especially for
a densely populated developing country like India.
b. WHAT IS SOLAR
ENERGY?
Solar energy is simply the light and heat energy we get from the sun. We
can use this energy in many ways. We may want to use the suns heat
directly for heating up a room or water or we can convert it into electricity
for lighting, cooling or even driving a car.
The amount of solar energy that hits the earths surface every day
is easily enough to meet our annual global energy demand many
times over.
We just have to harness it. There are a variety of technologies that can help
us harness solar energy. These are discussed in the following section in
detail.

HOW DO SOLAR
WATER PUMPS WORK?
Solar water pumps are just like any other water pump, however, their
power source is solar from PV panels instead of electricity from the grid
or from a diesel genset. Especially, where grid power is erratic and diesel
powered pumps are used, solar pumps are more economical. Solar power
is far cheaper than diesel power and there are also fewer hassles and costs
associated with operation and maintenance. All you need is a bit of space
where to place the panels. We have listed down some of the bestselling
solar water pumps.

i. HOW DO SOLAR
PANELS WORK?
A solar panel is really a bunch of solar cells fixed together and connected
by wires. These cells are held in an aluminum frame and fixed at the back side
with a back sheet. Glass covers the top to protect the cells. and this makes
up a solar panel. So the question really is: how do solar cells work? Solar
cells are made of semiconductors, the same stuff electronic chips in your
laptop and cellphones are made of. However, these semiconductors have
the property to absorb light and convert it into electricity, something called
the photovoltaic effect (hence the name photovoltaics for this technology).
But how exactly does this happen? As we know, everything is made
up of atoms. An atom is made up of particles called electrons orbiting a
central nucleus, much like the planets orbiting the sun. If enough energy is
given to these electrons, they can escape the atom altogether and become
free. This is exactly what happens in a solar cell. Sunlight, carries enough
energy to eject and free up electrons from the many atoms that make up
the semiconductor solar cell. Once free, these electrons can move about
freely and electric current is nothing but moving electrons! Voila, we have
electricity! We have listed some of the bestselling solar panels below:

j. HOW DO SOLAR
COOKERS WORK?
Solar cookers are a solar thermal technology. They work on the
simple principle of focusing the sunlight onto a container holding the
food to be cooked. There are many designs that are used but the
most common are parabolic and spherical designs. In such a design,
reflectors are arranged in a parabolic or spherical shape and the food
container is kept at the focus of the parabola or the sphere.
The containers inside is made up of low reflectivity materials so that
heat can be trapped more efficiently. The container is further enclosed
in a plastic bag or a tightly sealed glass cover to prevent heat loss due
to convection.

ABOUT
INDIA GOES SOLAR
It all started at about 4.6 billion years ago, when the solar system and
the sun were formed from the gravitational collapse of a large molecular
cloud. On earth, throughout the ages, all great civilizations worshipped
the sun, considering it the most vital source of life and energy. In India,
the sun god Surya plays a central role in Hinduism.

The Indian government has understood this appeal and wants solar to grow by an
incredible 55% per year to 100 GW in 2022. This would make India the largest
solar market globally. A large share of this solar power is to come from rooftops and
distributed solutions. End users are encouraged to build their own solar solutions
through incentives, such as subsidies, and easy processes, such as net-metering.
Over the last years, solar power has fallen in cost by over 50% and become a very
competitive source of energy. Together with the almost limitless potential and the
high irradiation in India, this makes solar an attractive choice for the country as a
whole and for the smart energy consumer.
We are here to help you to find the best solar solution for your house, company or
farm. We have studied the solar market in India and have found that while solar makes
intuitive sense to many in India, the solar industry has done far too little to inform and
educate consumers about its potential and versatility. It has to start somewhere. It
has to start sometime. Our goal is to provide you with all you need to know about
solar solutions in India to be able to make an independent decision.
On our advice, we are on your the consumers side. We will show you another
companys products or services and we let you chose freely amongst them.

these enormous challenges and because solar power can be deployed in a simple,
rapid, module and flexible manner it is available directly to the consumers of power.
It is, perhaps, the most democratic energy source.
