Following the recent blackouts in India, it it clear that the government should look for altenative sources of energy, and what better can it be than solar.Recently, 10 solar projects are underway, which will help to prevent future blackouts.
1. Solar-powered microgrid: Mera Gao Power sells microgrid systems which consist of two solar panels, two batteries, four distribution lines, supplies electricity to 50 households.
2. Large Rooftop Solar Project: Azure Power plans to install solar panels on the roofs of 60 houses before March 2013.
3. 600 MW in Gujarat: Gujarat has approved 600 MW of solar energy projects this year, with the 214 MW solar park in the Patan district.
4. 20 GW by 2022: Back in 2010 the National Solar Mission set a goal of installing 20 GW of grid-connected solar power and 2 GW of off-grid solar by 2022.
5. SunEdison’s rural projects: SunEdison has created a business model for designing, installing, and managing solar systems for 29 villages in the Guna district.
6. Pay-as-you-go solar: Simpa Networks has designed a system where customers only pay for the electricity produced by their own solar panel, and only when they use it.
7. Solar in the agriculture industry: SunEdison is working on a 1MW installation which stretches along a half mile of the Narmada Canal.
8. Solar lanterns: d.light has recently achieved its goal of supplying solar products, such as solar powered lanterns, to over 7 million people across 40 goals.
9. Solar Thermal Project: Areva Solar is constructing a 250 MW solar thermal plant in the north west of India.
10. Solar cooking and heating: Flareum sells solar products that concentrate the suns heat in order to cook food, or create a heater.
