Solving Electricity Problems In India

energy souces like the solar and the wind are being given importance now a days. our former president Dr. Abdul kalaam has a vision that by 2030, the tribals at the coastal areas will get electricity through solar means by erecting huge panels on the coast because there is ample of sunlight. nearly 6 crore people live in the coastal areas. they also have to better their lives. i feel that that the government should also fund a power plant that caters to the needs of all the unpriviledged people in india living in the inaccessible regions all over the country. because there is going to be a shortage of 40000 MW by 2030. what are your suggestions.?

Hi Shubhankar,
Though Solar energy is plenty still its initial cost is high and we will have to shift to wards that particular source some day or other.
So at this particular moment we must try to eliminate draw backs of not only Solar but also other non-conventional energy resources.

Re: unpriviledged india

@ishu: ofcourse you may be correct but with our latest technology we can get only much power from solar
almost we can generate 1.7M watts of power up to my knowledge
but drawback is we can generate it only when sun is there i.e...., we can generate just 14 hours per day
if we improve it it may be ultimate of energy because without sun there is no earth and with sun we can generate electric energy
so we can make it as for future energy
another thing is we had no specific equipment to save such large amount of energy

Re: unpriviledged india

In Italy people have got a concept of Solar wind bridge.

yeah i read that article on solar wind bridge. what you all say is correct. but i think that to set up a power plant at the coastal ares would be a problem because the raw material will have to be transported.that is why solar would be a clean source. and i agree only 14 hours will be available but it is okay because currently they dont have anything

I agree that we get 14 hrs of sun. But its not the same during the Monsoon or Winter. We'll have to find a suppliment at that time. So can't rely completely on sun for energy through out the year.
