India should have more companies assembling and supplying solar photovoltaic systems, manufacturing solar cells and manufacturing photovoltaic modules or panels. |

The most effecient and effective work model would be that Government takes intitiative to spread the use of Solar energy and give incentive to private sector to grow in big way. In the long run, the usage of solar industry would can be more popular and price effective if the private sector participate at mega and micro level.
Exactly, first the manufacturing should be made easy in India itself, we should become self sufficient in manufacturing and meeting the demand and supply of photovoltic cells , and Govt. should provide subsidy for hte manufacturers,or shud rather take the initiative itself and manufacture the photovoltic cells, also govt. should promote further research and development in the field of photovoltic cells.If manufacturing is to be shared between govt. and private sector then there shud be a regulatory body for fixing the max. sale price for the betterment and affordability of the citizens,otherwise if there happens to be monopoly then the affordability will be lost.
Govt should encourage all teh top MNC's and big industries to get into this system which would protect lot of power which can be re distributed to other places.

Yes padmaja, we need to have those supporting hands and at the same time at boardroom level, Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) should address energy challenges at City level and provide framework. A Master Plan should be prepared including assessment of current energy situation, future demand and action plans and to build capacity in ULBs and create awareness among all sections of civil society and involve various stakeholders to attain success |

The Indian government has not been able to provide the required amount of power to the Indian resident from the conventional plants. So the development of the alternative green resources is must. There are many ideas by various persons. I would like to emphasise the point by Uma Rama again that ceating public awarenesss is very important and this would bring good results in the long run.
Planning is going on for making Raipur and Bilaspur of Chhattisgarh into solar cities or green cities. There could be a Macro level strategy 1. Make all Govt office buildings into solar powered green buildings -- started in CG. 2. Keep caps on private factories and companies or industries on compulsory green investments -- underway within an year. 3. Electrify villages where electricity cannot be distributed. Micro strategy: 1. Encourage Indian solar cos to build up smaller products such as solar cooker, solar cell phone charger, battery light(LED) with best service centers, for addressing both Micro and Macro clients. 2. Increse awareness by organizing seminars and conferences in public places like parks.
I agree wth u Mr Prakash, ULB needs to need to be involved in such initiative...& master plans shud address the issue

Government should create satellite cities on the outskirts of each big city and give subsidy to those who are using the solar power. Also Govt should encourage private players to help people install the panels, etc without big deal. |

govt should make law to implement compulsorily for solar systems for home and commercial uses in the residential and commercial buildings newly constructed. |

It may not be viable for home as of now but for community gathering places like bustands, railwaystations, there it can be possible. The current technology cannot support individual houses as it(1kwp system) generates just 3units/day, but if individuals are interested in having then that not be a problem. But for businesses that are polluting and feeding big babus should minimally have their share by make some % of their complete organization powered by green energy and green audits should be conducted very strictly and firmly.

why cant we make our building window as Photosythetic so that it can be used as window glass as energy producing source by this we save the space occured in planting photosthytic glass as well we can gain two way use of glass .............. |

Excellent idea. Windows have to be redesigned altogether. If you track the sun, best efficency is achieved when Phoyo panels are installed in North-south direction and inclined at 23 degrees towards south. More over only south side windows can be utilised effectively, east and west to some extent and north windows very poorly. What happens where tall buildings are standing shoulder to shoulder and oner shadows the other? TAx free imports, large scale manufacturing in organised sector is the answer to encourage people to use solar cells. At todays cost of Rs. 250/- per watt it's out of reach for common man.

We can utilize every sq. inch area of roof for electrical power generation.By developing efficient polymer coating which may act as solar cell.Research in polymer solar cell which can be coated is going on in differant countries like chine,USA,& some research is carried out in iit's.

Yes I agree to this innovative way of reducing the carbon emissions.Where can I get more information regarding this technology.

Solar water heaters could be used as heat source for operating vapor absorption air conditioning machines, especially in large commercial buildings. It would also help in reducing consumption of conventional refrigerants, another greenhouse gas. The government can help by way of incentives for setting up such plants. |

Electric vehicles at cheaper prices (with out excise & imort duties and sales tax). Free charging stations at every 10/20 kilometers cities. This will generate employment as well.

1)In Bangalore it has been made mandatory to install solar water heater in homes, without which the electrical connection is not given. This is a welcome step.
2)In addition, we see a lot of power being wasted for street lighting and signboards. at least a beginning can be made to implement PV for street lighting and also for signboards.
3)Similarly non conventional cooling systems such as centralised evaporative air cooling should be encouraged as opposed to more power intensive airconditioning.
4)Hollow blocks technology for construction of buildings should be encouraged as opposed to solid bricks.
5)Rain water harvesting should be made mandatory as is being done in Chennai and Bangalore, which will help in raising the water table and reduce power consumption.
6)Cycle parks shall be established at all metro stations and community centres.
7)Unauthorised parking in congested areas shall be heavily penalised which will pave the way for a less congested through fare and reduce the fuel consumption.

Anything in this world becomes cheaper by numbers. Giving short term boost to the industry will improve the adoption rate automatically. First initiate and support very large solar photo-voltaic projects. This projects will increase the output of panels and reduce its prices.
Making the industry will also automatically mean we are going improve on the technology over the years. |

The mind set has to change. As long as we keep calculating the ROI and payback period we will not be able to arrest global warming. Show me a person who has invited 3 quotation fro hospitals when his/her mother was to be treated. Show me a person who started calculating ROI if his / her mother was to be operated upon. But the case with MOTHER EARTH is different. Every body knows she is suffering. We may be sons of the soil but our mother earth is destitute today. Abandoned by the children.......................Alas

All current solar voltaic systems are based on silicon substrates. These silicon substrates are difficult to get and compete with a very large chip manufacturing industry. Chip manufacturer's need only a very tiny portion of it to make a chip and its still profitable for them at its current cost. Solar cells on the other hand needs large chips, which are not economical and are not going to become more economical in the near future.
As an alternative, we can look at mass manufacturing solar thermal devices. These technologies have taken off big time in US. Like Google is building many MW worth solar power plant using thermal devices. Accepted that they are not as efficient as today's advanced substrate devices but it will cost 1/10th of a substrate device and the whole equipment will look more viable.
Solar thermal devices can be extended to absorb the waste heat from many factories, allowing them to generate their own electricity by and large.

why don't you take step in the development of polymer solar cell which can be easily coated on a conductive surface to act as a solar cell.Use of polymer in solar cell reduces its manufacturing cost & also enhance its applicability.As i am doing research in the development of polymer solar cell.If you can cooperate then it wiil prove beneficial.
