What is the difference between state solar subsidy scheme and national portal solar subsidy?

Image
With the increasing electricity demand comes the problem of insufficient resources to support such usage. This can be especially difficult for low-income families who battle paying high electricity bills every month for basic household needs. To help ease this burden, the government has suggested solar energy as a renewable and more affordable option for electrical power. The growth of  solar rooftops in India  has been tremendous over the last few years.  Residential rooftop solar  accounts for roughly 20% of the overall rooftop mark. Residential installations have seen steady growth in the previous few years and have grown by 35% over the last year. The availability of subsidies and increased awareness of solar and its benefit is the primary catalyst for the growth of this sector. This blog looks at the different subsidies available to you.   Solar subsidies   can improve affordability by reducing the cost of   installing solar panels . If you’re thi...

Consumer vs Prosumer: What is the Difference?

Image
Consumers buy a finished product from the market, whereas prosumers are consumers who participate actively in the manufacturing process. In terms of energy, a consumer is someone who consumes power provided by the grid, whereas a prosumer both produces and consumes energy. According to the official definition, in  consumers vs prosumers , energy prosumers are ” a client or a set of jointly acting users who consume, store, or sell generated electricity on their premises.” As more people generate their own electricity from dispersed energy resources, the number of prosumers in the energy arena increases. Solar panels on the roof are the most common way to achieve this. Balanced Production and Consumption On-grid prosumers who produce excess energy feed it back to the grid. When their energy use exceeds their ability to create it, they must rely on the grid to meet their demands. Energy storage facilities let off-grid prosumers achieve a balance between output and consumption.  S...

Evolution of Solar Power and Solar Panel Technology

Image
The first applications of  solar energy  were for heat. The fire was created by amplifying the sun’s rays. In the third century B.C, the Greeks and Romans utilized ‘burning mirrors’ to light torches for religious activities. Archimedes is claimed to have used the reflecting characteristics of brass to set fire to Roman warships storming Syracuse in the 2nd century B.C. People seek to create cost-effective ways to use sustainable power in a world where non-renewable resources account for most energy production. One of the essential cornerstones of  renewable energy  technology is the solar panel. When were solar panels invented? Alexandre Becquerel’s revelation of the photovoltaic effect in 1839 was a significant step forward in  solar panel technology . When a material is exposed to light, it produces electricity. In 1888, Aleksandr Stoletov created the first solar cell. In 1955, the first commercially available solar cells were sold. Hoffman Electrics made sola...
