What are the Benefits of Renewable Energy to the Environment?

Five major sources of energy across the globe are- Natural Gas, Petroleum, Coal, Nuclear Energy and Renewable Energy. Yet we seldom hear about how beneficial renewable energy(like solar, wind, hydel, geothermal and biomass) is and how we should go green with all our choices to help protect the environment for the generations to come. Renewable sources of energy pack almost all the benefits we get from non-renewable sources and then some for the environment.

While sources like fossil fuels and natural gas increase the amount of carbon dioxide released in the environment (which increases greenhouse effect and global warming) governments and authorities are trying to convince people to opt for renewable sources of energy. Here are a few ways that renewable sources of energy can benefit us with.

 

Independence from Nonrenewable Energy –

There is a finite amount of coal, gas and oil in the depths of the earth. That is why all the fossil based forms of energy will one day cease to exist leaving us with a few options to fulfill our needs of power. Alternatives like wind, water and solar energy that is available for free in nature will never exhaust have become really popular options in the past couple decades.

There is no point in waiting for all the fossil fuel available on the Earth to deplete before we make a greener choice. If we start looking for eco friendly solutions to conventional, non renewable sources of energy now, we can mitigate the damage that will be done to the environment by the time we get to that point. This way we can reduce the global carbon emissions impact by using the same amount of fossil fuels over a longer period of time. The sooner we make this transition towards renewable energy the better it will be for mankind and the environment.

 

Less Pollution –

Pollution has become the bane of life on earth. The ill effects of pollution are quite noticeable not only on our health but on the health of the environment as well. All major industries rely on non renewable sources of energy. In generating power from non-renewable sources of energy harmful residue in the form of solid, liquid and gaseous pollutants causing land, air and water pollution is released. The surrounding ecosystems get affected by this causing indirect damages to the environment in the long run. Choosing renewable energy can help the environment heal itself. For example using rooftop solar panels does not cause any kind of air or water pollution. And when we have a source that provides us with enough energy in one second to satisfy the planet’s energy needs for an hour, why not make the best of it!

A comparative study done between renewable and non renewable energy shows that the amount of CO2 released for the production of 1 KWh of energy is drastically high for non renewable sources of energy as compared to its renewable competitor. Comparing coal that releases roughly 0.7 to 1.6 kg of CO2/KWh with solar power which emits 0.03 kg to 0.09 kg of CO2/KWh, we can get an idea of the damage being done to the environment right now. As it is with everything there are cons to solar energy too. The amount of carbon emitted in the process of making silicon used in the solar PV systems is not low. But even though these renewable sources of energy have existed forever we have only just begun to uncover the gifts
they can bring and in coming times we can expect even more efficient, robust and less carbon emitting versions of devices that help us harness energy from them. Besides, the pros clearly outweigh the cons.

 

Usage of Water –

While most non renewable sources of energy use water for cooling and cleaning purposes, some renewable sources like hydel power, geothermal and Biomass energy require water for the same too. But wind and solar energy do not require it. Using wind and solar energy we can even reduce the amount of water taken away from the local water bodies and get the same results without tipping the ecological balance of the region.

 

Combat Climate Change –

The defining issue of our times, climate change, is the average long term change in weather across the globe. It’s natural for weather to slowly and constantly change over a long period of time but with excess carbon emissions we have made that change quicker and more noticeable. This is again another problem that renewable energy can help slowdown. For instance driving an electric car won’t lower your carbon footprints by a lot if the vehicle is running on power supplied by a power plant running on fossil fuels. It’s a collective effort so the authorities and governments will have to take stringent measures to help curb the rapid climate change. Rising sea level, cold areas of the world getting warmer and warm regions getting colder, various forms of lives going extinct, all this will not end in favour of our species.

What Things Should I Know to Put Solar Panels in My House

When we talk about the feasibility of solar energy, in a sunny state like India it would be rather unwise to not make the best of nature’s bounty. Be it cumulative long term savings on your bills or lowering your carbon footprints to help protect the environment, rooftop solar panels are gaining general populace’s interest. You must have already heard a lot about the benefits of having solar panels on your rooftops and want to know whether this investment is meant for you or not. Here are a few things to know before you get your home equipped with rooftop solar panels.

 

– Is your roof suitable for rooftop solar panels?

Before considering the usefulness, efficiency and cost of installing rooftop solar panels, one needs to know if solar energy will work for them. Due to any reason if your roof is covered with shade or doesn’t get enough sunlight, obviously the solar panels won’t generate substantial solar energy without direct sunlight for at least a couple of hours. If you are yet to buy yourself a home and wish to go green, watch out for properties that don’t stand in the endless shades of skyscrapers.

To make the best out of your rooftop solar panels it is even favourable for Indians (people living in the northern hemisphere) if the rooftop is facing a bit towards south, east or west.

 

– How much will you be saving on your utility bills?

If for any reason solar energy isn’t helping you save on your electricity bills then again, it’s not for you. Charges per unit of power in every state are different and if one belongs to a region with cheaper tariffs why would they want to make a hefty investment on something that won’t even recover its cost in a long while. The greater the per unit cost of electricity of electricity providers the greater the saving. Typically for a 10-12 Rs per unit tariff one may save upto 8 Rs per unit.

 

– Is your house leased or owned?

For a rented house it will obviously be a big mistake to get it solar equipped as a tenant because you don’t know whether you will be able to get your investment back in long term savings on the bills. In that case, You could inform the owner about the benefits of solar power and ask them to get the house solar energy equipped.

If it’s your own house, buy the best product you can after comparing a few quotes from different brands. Don’t just get the one your friend recently bought for their home. Don’t give into high pressure sales tactics. Don’t rush after some pseudo European brand that you have been seeing ads of lately. Chasing after brands based on their manufacturing country would be a mistake, as 6 of the top 10 solar panel manufacturing companies in the world based on global market share (in 2019) belong to China. India too ranks in the top 10 manufacturing countries. Some other countries in the list include- the US, Japan, Germany and India.

 

– Compare Specs and Warranty

Once you have narrowed down to a few choices compare the spec sheets of the panels. One should rather go for efficiency over saving a few thousand rupees in case of solar panels. Solar panel warranty in Indian markets can range from 10 years to 25 years. Solar panels are made to withstand all kinds of weather and can even last about 30 years. So why go for a 10 year warranty when a reputable brand is offering you much more. If you have to live in a rented house for a while and you still want to choose solar energy, you could get some cheap panels with 10 years of warranty but try to buy the best inverter you can. Inverter warranty is separate. Typical inverter warranties range from 5 to 10 years which can be upgraded to 25 years in some cases.

 

– Type of panels

In Solar as in real estate space matters a lot. If your roof doesn’t have enough space for large panels but you still need the same efficiency, you could go for monocrystalline panels over the cheaper and bit less efficient polycrystalline variants. If you have all the space but don’t want to spend too much for any reason you could go for thin film panels that are cheaper than even polycrystalline panels but also less efficient. Ideally solar panels with high efficiency that occupy less space are recommended.

 

– Solar panel certifications

If you live on the coast side you must check the salt, mist, corrosion resistance on the product. And when living in the snowy mountains one must go for the solar panels with increased load capacity. With advancements in technology there are now quite a few certifications and specs for a PV system. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) of India had issued guidelines in 2019 regarding BIS standards that are applicable for components of solar systems. Depending on your geographical location and your requirements you can opt for the appropriate solar panels of your liking.

How Do Solar Panels Work in Shade, Cold Or Bad Weather

,

Equipping one’s property with solar power is a great idea. But it’s not at all a small investment. A common misconception about solar panels is that they work really well in hot regions and probably don’t deliver in snow, shade and rain. And that’s not exactly true. There are two components of solar energy- heat and light. and the PV system needs only light energy to make solar power. So we don’t always need clear skies. For maximum efficiency, yes, direct sunlight is necessary but even when the weather is not perfect today’s solar panels can collect enough light to produce electricity.

We don’t get the same amount of sunlight throughout the year everywhere in the world; so the curiosity regarding the efficiency of solar panels in regions that don’t get enough sun is quite valid. One might start to think, are roof-top solar panels even worth their price when the roof is frozen with snow half the time? The answer is- solar panels harness radiant light of the sun to produce solar power, not its heat, so it doesn’t matter if it snows. As long as there is light, your solar panels are going to work just fine. Rather they would perform better in clear and colder weather than they would in peak summers. We will now find out why.

 

– How temperature affects the efficiency of solar panels:

To learn how solar energy works in cold, rainy and gloomy weather we need to find out how change in temperature affects their working. One might think more heat means more solar power but the truth is solar panels work best between 15°C to 35°C and are tested at standard testing conditions (STC) of 25°C. They are robust by design and require low maintenance and they can withstand extreme weather both hot and cold. Solar panels can get as hot as 65°C in warmer regions of the world during peak summers depending on a few other factors like the amount of sunlight, air temperature, material used in roofing etc. In case of such weather, even when there is enough sun, the efficiency of solar panels drops by a little because the voltage of a PV cell decreases with increase in temperature.

So they are made to withstand all kinds of weather be it snowy, rainy or sunny. And their efficiency doesn’t suffer as much as you would think, as even visible light is enough to produce some amount of electricity.

 

– Understanding the temperature coefficient:

Now that we have learnt that beyond one point(25°C STC) the efficiency of solar panels drops with increase in their temperature, let us find out by how much does it drop and why does it happen. Everyone who plans to get their homes equipped with solar power gets this piece of advice from someone- “don’t forget to look at the spec sheets”. And when they do, they can check out the temperature coefficient of various solar panels there. The temperature coefficient helps us understand by how much the efficiency of the panels will drop per degree
Celsius/Fahrenheit. For instance, the temperature coefficient of monocrystalline solar cells is around -0.5%/°C, which means every time the surface temperature of the mono solar panels goes above 25°C by 1°C they generate 0.5% less power than the optimal.

One can easily infer from this that solar panels are more efficient in colder weather. But again, during the warmer days due to early sunrise and late sunsets we get more sunlight and for longer duration. Hence the solar panels gather light for more time and make up for the small compromise in efficiency caused by the rise in surface temperature of the panels. So there is not a huge difference in overall electricity produced based on just the temperature of seasons.

 

– Solar Power In Shade:

There are parts of India that see some of the highest rainfall in the world and it pours there more months around the year than it doesn’t. Cloudy weather can too affect the efficiency of solar power production. It is estimated that solar panels are 40% less efficient in peak cloudy weather. If it’s not completely dark and the sun is still hiding in the clouds the solar panels will still gather enough solar radiation to produce some electricity. Solutions like roof orientation and right design of solar panels can help minimize the compromise in solar power caused due to
bad weather. To assume that there won’t be any solar energy without direct sunlight is wrong. Modern panels are capable of producing enough solar power even in low light conditions.

Same goes for shade caused by trees and buildings surrounding the roof-top. We already discussed that we don’t need heat from the sun to generate solar energy. It then depends on how much surface area of the solar panels is covered in shade. If half of the PV panel is covered in shade and the rest of it sees clear sunlight, only the cells that lie in shade will be slightly less efficient while the others will run on their best.

How Does Solar Power Increase Property Value?

Electricity has now become one of the less sought after necessities since India is doing well on that front, still there remains a deficit of electricity. Complaints regarding unavailability and unreliable access to traditional forms of energy in rural as well as urban areas across the country aren’t unheard of. Seeking energy alternatives people end up using some retrograde forms of energy like fossil fuels. With the UN urging more and more countries to commit to go carbon neutral, soon India too will opt for cleaner and greener choices. This implies that homes with renewable sources of energy like solar power will hold their values higher than those that run on outdated sources of energy.

Home buyers know a lot about the benefits of having solar power but may not know that much about the costs, their requirements, having it installed etc. One might even find it a bit of a hassle to have solar power installed on their own after they have just moved into a newly bought home. Addition of solar power to a property after its purchase may also seem like an added expense to a lot of buyers which is not the case when it comes as a package deal with the house. With increase in purchasing power it’s only fair that people get what they can pay for. So for most home buyers solar power indeed becomes a selling point. And for homeowners it improves the value of their property.

There are a few factors that decide by how much the cost of original property will improve after the installation of solar power

 

1. How Old is the Photovoltaic System:

The thing with technology is that it gets old and needs to be replaced. Newer PV systems are much more efficient, valuable and long-lasting than the older breed. That’s why they increase the value of property more than their predecessors. If a new advanced generation of PV cells were about to enter the markets definitely they will improve the price of a property with a larger margin.

 

2. Location of the House/Property:

Solar panels can easily last over 20 to 30 years and in the long run save much more on bills than the installation costs they would incur. So depending on the location of property, if the house gets a lot of sun and the solar panel sees more sun than snow, clouds or shade you are bound to save more on the bills. That is why most buyers are attracted to solar powered homes in the first place. This improves the value of the house.

 

3. Participation of Government:

State and Central government According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the Central Government bears the 30% of the benchmark installation cost for solar rooftop PV systems of upto 3KW capacity in general category states. This scheme is to incentivize installation of grid connected solar power panels. For states that belong to the special category, namely Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Lakshadweep, this subsidy increases to 70% of the installation costs. Additionally, State Nodal Agencies also provide various subsidies in many states. What’s next? Tax exemptions for installing decentralized solar power units? The way the government is coming up with new and improved schemes to increase the numbers of solar powered homes on one can be hopeful.

 

4. The Overall Performance of Solar Panels:

Having roof-top solar panels can not only reduce but even eliminate electricity bills sometimes. Given the amount of power consumption isn’t too high and the panels receive enough sunlight they can even generate excess energy which can be sent back to the power grid. Panels that supply such a surplus power back to the grid may earn their home owners a credit on their utility bills. The utility bill received then has some deductions based on how many units of power was sent back. And if the power sent to the grid exceeds the power consumed by the house the homeowner makes some money on it. This again improves the value of the house.

 

5. Cost of Electricity Charged by the Local Utility Company:

If the KWh cost of electricity charged by discom and electricity boards is too low the little savings one makes on electricity bills with solar power is not worth the installation costs. In such a case paying extra for a solar powered house may seem like a bad deal to potential home buyers. And one may often find in such areas the value of similar properties with or without solar power are listed at the same price. Paying more for an eco friendly option that doesn’t seem like an investment has buyers rethink their options. Luckily India gets enough sun so solar power is favourable and electricity isn’t dirt cheap anywhere to worry about this math.

 

6. Whether the Solar Panel is Leased or Owned:

Selling a house with leased solar panels will even lower the value of property. It’s just like passing a loan to someone. Things will come installed but the new owner will have to pay the remaining installments. Home buyers must always make sure that they get what they are paying for. Buying a property at higher value is only worth it when it comes with owned solar panels

How Do Solar Panels Save Energy?

, ,

A solar panel system is a conjoint array of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells that capture energy pouring from the sun in the form of photons; and transform that captured solar energy directly into electricity. As solar panels have gotten inexpensive over the years, a large number of Indians have begun embracing this gift from the sun. The government, too, has put immense money behind the development of solar power to meet its progressive target of generating 40 GW of power from rooftop projects by 2022.

 

How Does It Work?

It’s important to know how solar energy works, because it is this process that helps us grasp how it saves energy. Simply put, solar energy is energy that has been harnessed from the sun. The solar power itself is generated by a surface/medium that collects energy, which is a solar power system, as well as converting the captured energy into heat or electricity.

Two main ways that convert solar energy into solar power using a solar panel-

 

Photovoltaic Conversion (PV)–

This is a direct conversion method, and is the most commonly used form of generating solar energy. It involves the use of solar panels, or solar PV panels.

 

Solar Thermal Conversion –

This is an indirect conversion method, and is used to generate heat for your home. It involves the use of a thermal collector to generate the heat so that your water or home can be warmed using solar energy

Industrial solar panels and residential solar panels, both consist of solar or photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert light energy into electrical energy. The PV cells of a solar rooftop panel are made up of P-N junction cells. When light (Photons) are incident on a solar cell, it gives energy to electrons which then moves to the conduction band from the valence band. This flow of electrons is known as current. The important way in which solar panels help to save energy is through removing a household’s dependence on the Country’s Power Grid. Alternatively, one can store extra energy in a solar battery, giving complete independence, even during the night and emergencies

And one of the ways the Indian government has been going about doing this is through the concept of net metering.

 

What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a process in which the electricity board keeps track of the energy consumed and generated by a solar panelled house. It allows consumers to feed surplus solar power into the state’s power grid when they don’t need it, and receive a credit on their electricity bill.

For example, in a state that has implemented the net metering policy, you get credited for the electricity you deliver back to the grid at the same price that you pay for the electricity.

 

Benefits of this Process

  • Savings on the Power Bill – With net metering systems, you only pay for the deficit power consumed i.e. the difference between the power consumed by the household from the grid and the solar power generated from the panels. This drastically reduces your electricity bill.
  • Not High Maintenance – Net metering system components like solar panels, inverter and mounting structures need low maintenance. Since these installations do not require generators or batteries, considerable expense for their maintenance is avoided.
  • Optimal Energy Utilisation – Power travelling from the grid to your home incurs transmission and distribution losses. These losses are almost negligible in net metering systems as energy is generated and consumed at the same spot.

How The Net Metering System Works?

In a rooftop net metering system, the DC power generated from the solar PV panels is converted to AC power using a power conditioning unit and is fed to the grid. These systems generate power during the day time, which is utilized fully to power captive loads and feed excess power to the grid. In case solar power is insufficient due to cloud cover or rain, the captive loads are served by drawing power from the grid. To enable net-metering, state electricity boards replace the existing connection meter with a bidirectional meter that displays the import and export energy separately.

 

In conclusion, here are some quick tips on buying your own efficient solar panel system
  1. Decide on the type of solar panels beforehand
  2. Make sure that solar panel mounting is certified based on your area specifications
  3. Be aware of the manufacturer’s warranty on the solar panel system
  4. Do not go for cheap and poor quality of solar panels and equipment
  5. Ask friends, neighbors and family who have had solar PV systems installed for recommendation

How Can a Solar Rooftop Installation be Helpful For a Business?

, ,

India is emerging in the world as a prominent generator of renewable energy. In its efforts to move towards advanced sustainable development, the government has set an ambitious target to achieve by the end of 2022. The usage of residential and commercial solar rooftop systems have reaffirmed the strength of belief. It has recently been observed that with the advancement of solar energy, many businesses, industries and organizations are feeling more confident switching to solar rooftop. Commercial solar rooftop systems may seem quite direct as rooftop solar systems for businesses as compared to residential solar rooftop systems for homes. However, commercial solar is quite a broad term and caters to a variety of customers and arrangements. In addition to businesses of different formats, from large organisations to small businesses, commercial solar rooftop also addresses the needs of governments, schools, universities and NGOs.

There are Several Reasons that Establish the Benefits of Installing Solar Rooftop Panels on Commercial Buildings:

 

Solar Rooftop is Aided with Government Incentives –

In order to let people adopt and adapt to solar energy, the government offers tax credits to those who install rooftop solar panels whether it be of residential or commercial nature. According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the government pays 30% of the installation cost as a subsidy.

 

Solar Rooftop Panels Need Optimal Maintenance –

One of the factors that establishes the importance of rooftop solar panels is that they require very less maintenance. They come with a service life of over 15 years. Also, rooftop solar panels can be installed on any type of roof. So, businesses don’t need to vacate land or invest in buying additional land to set up solar rooftop panels.

 

Solar Rooftop Gives an Advanced, Environment Friendly Access to Energy –

Many businesses rely on alternatives like diesel generators. These alternatives pose harmful effects on health, environment and they have unsteady operating costs. In this case, solar energy is a lifesaver and serves as an affordable source of electricity. Since rooftop solar panels harness the power of the sun, they are eco-friendly and sustainable.

 

Solar Rooftop is a Cost Effective Method –

The biggest advantage of installing a rooftop solar system is that it offers cost savings. For building owners, rooftop solar installations can even help in cutting down electricity bills. Rooftop panels supply electricity to buildings, so they need to buy less electricity from the grid thereby saving on energy expenditures.

 

Solar Rooftop is a Steady Investment – 

Electricity prices keep changing each year. So, it is difficult to keep a tab on expenditure on electricity for an extended period of time, which turns out to be quite unpredictable for a business establishment. However, when it comes to electricity generated by solar rooftops, the price can be easily calculated. In fact, one can calculate the cost of electricity generation for another 5-10 years (or till the time the solar rooftop system is up and running).

 

Solar Rooftop Helps in Combating Carbon Footprint –

Solar panels harness sunlight to generate electricity. So, they pose lesser pollution risks to the environment in comparison to other sources of energy. Unlike a generator, they run without producing any loud noise and give out negligible emissions of harmful gases.

 

Solar Rooftop Leads To Green Energy – Clean Energy –

The consumers, especially industrial and commercial customers, are willing to make investments to contribute towards the safety and upkeep of the environment – Rooftop solar is the first step towards that ultimate goal of Zero Harmful Emissions.

 

Multiple Applications of Solar Rooftop Systems –

Along with the production of electricity, solar power can meet several other purposes. It can be used to heat water and supply hot water or air to a building.

 

Solar Rooftop Is Suitable For Indian Climate –

India is situated at an ideal geographical location and receives ample sunlight almost all year round. There are 300 sunny days with clear skies each year in India which makes it best suited for solar rooftop installations.

What Are the Environmental Benefits of Solar Energy?

,

As per the Environment Performance Index 2018 of the Yale University, India ranked 177th among 180 countries – an all time low by our standards. Going by the trend, it won’t be long before we become the most polluted country in the world. In all this, we fail to comprehend that the sun, our eternal companion, provides a vast resource of clean, renewable and sustainable energy. We as people are simply unaware of actual, substantial benefits of a well established solar system and how it can battle the ongoing energy crisis as well as usher in an era of climatic change.

Let’s try to change our outlook toward solar energy and have a quick glance at why the future is big with solar:

 

Solar Power Towards Reduced Air Pollution –

With mounting AQIs and multiple pollution related health concerns in major cities of India, one of the biggest benefits of solar energy is that it results in very few air pollutants. There are numerous studies that point out how widespread solar energy adoption would significantly reduce nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter emissions, all of which can cause serious health problems. Reducing our carbon footprint would not only benefit individual and communal health but also foster a greener, cleaner Earth with its ability to restore the natural environmental balance.

 

Solar Power Towards Better Water Conservation –

Most mainstream and conventional energy sources use water as a resource to generate electricity and that can use thousands of litres of water each year in the process. Water is used at almost every step of the process from cooling generators to processing and refining fuel and transporting fuel through pipes. Generating power through solar panels, however, requires no water at all. The operation of solar PV cells doesn’t require water to generate electricity, considerably reducing the strain on this precious resource of Earth.

 

Solar Power Towards Slowing Climate Change –

With weather patterns going for a toss and enhanced greenhouse effect on a global scale, solar energy can be our one stop solution for all woes. Although the greenhouse effect is an inevitable natural process that warms the Earth’s surface to a liveable temperature, most human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have increased its adverse effects. In recent years, it has been particularly linked to a number of unchecked weather anomalies, such as cyclones, storms, floods and drought. Generating electricity from solar panels produces no greenhouse gases and can drastically help to reduce the effect of climate change, if used widely.

 

Solar Power Towards Lesser Dependence on Fossil Fuels –

Solar energy is inexhaustible and easily available, also, the energy from the source can power the entire globe if harnessed properly even for just an hour. On the other hand, our reliance on fossil fuels is not a profitable enterprise in the long run due to its scarcity and negative environmental impact.If , we can only tap into this free source of solar power to fuel our homes or businesses, we would be moving towards a more reliant, economical and beneficial relationship with energy.

 

Solar Power Towards Decreased Mining – 

Majority of fossil fuels are obtained by deep mining. The environmental impact of mining can occur at a local, regional, and global scale – directly or indirectly. The subsequent result is soil erosion, loss of biodiversity and the contamination of soil, groundwater as well as surface water by the chemicals seeping from mining processes. The use of solar power eliminates all possibility of damage to the environment by removing any such requirement of a harsh process or pollutant.

 

Solar Power Towards Lesser Reliance on Nuclear Fuel –

Unlike fossil fuel-fired power plants, nuclear reactors do not emit any greenhouse gases while producing energy. But, nuclear power generation creates a lot of waste which can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years. Relying on solar energy can free the environment of commercial radioactive waste, a typical by-product with power plants.

In conclusion, just like our tagline, we believe the ‘Sun is for Everyone’ and has numerous benefits. While there is still a long way to go, in India, we’ve seen some significant investments in renewables – a sure sign of hope. Solar power is at record low prices and we at Agni guide customers into taking the right decisions – for them and for the environment too. As you begin your solar journey with us, you will spot several opportunities to harness the sun, and turn your global footprint into a step towards the clean and the green.
