Switch to solar. Solar energy is giving new hope to those suffering from frequent power cuts and increasing electricity bills. Solar energy not only ensures better electricity output, but is also more affordable, easily available and offers long term benefits.
The government is said to be providing subsidy for installing the solar power plants, says The Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency (OREDA) who are encouraging this option. A user who has installed a one KW capacity solar photovolataic power plant on his rooftop said that since then he has not experienced any power disruption. His electricity consumption has come down, power supply is consistent, reliable and environmentally friendly. He has saved about four to five units of power daily. Many in his neighbourhood have made the switch to solar.
Solar power is especially useful in the rural corners of India which have not yet received electricity. About 400 villages have benefited from this installation. During the day, the solar power plant lights up the house and at night the converter takes over, powered by batteries.
