Apart from food, clothes and shelter so called our three basic needs, electricity is considered as the fourth and the most crucial basic necessity nowadays. With technological enhancement in today’s generation, one can’t survive without electricity. Even though if anyone manages without power supply, he or she can’t be productive both in work and day to day household chores.
Today speed and efficiency are valued and it is possible because of high-tech systems operated with the aid of power supply whether it is residential, commercial, industrial or institutional.
Thus, acknowledgement of the growing demand of electricity, India is constructing lots of thermal power plants. Even today 68% of electricity is generated through thermal power plants. India is ranked 3rd worldwide in the list of countries which burns most amount of fossil fuels.
Production of energy from non-renewable sources is costly as compared to that from renewable energy sources. Also, it produces tons of waste and huge amount of pollution in the environment. We are buying electricity produced from non-renewable sources at expensive rates. Solar Technology has come as boon for us as it avails electricity at almost free of cost.
Solar energy is our earth’s primary source of renewable energy. It is a form of energy radiated by the sun, including light, radio waves, and X rays, although the term usually refers to the visible light of the sun. As oil prices have gone up and other energy sources remain limited, nations are increasingly searching for safe, reliable long-term sources of power.
In this scenario solar energy proves to be an abundant energy source which can be put to use. Electricity generation from solar energy at present is no more a new concept to the world. Solar electricity is being clean, pollution free, silent, limitless and free will play a great role in the times to come in the present energy driven civilization.
