The solar panel that is used today was first developed in the 1950s. The conversion rate of sunlight to electric current at first was low, but innovation has improved the efficiency and made it cheaper to produce. If you stop and think about it, every product or service we produce requires energy. Before the invention of electricity, energy was obtained from the labor of workers and the tools available at the time. Today, we…
Yep, you heard us right. India’s Ministry of Science and Technology has revealed a project that allows solar energy generation in a small space. Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Durgapur, developed the concept. This innovative project is notable for the amount of solar energy that it harnesses. Just 4 square feet can produce up to 5KW. Comparing directly, we need 400 square feet to produce 5KW and 1.4 hectares for 1 Megawatt. The efficiency of…
We’ve all imagined the lives shown in science-fiction movies and books. The developments in these works of fiction are not yet within our grasp. It could take a while for us to get there, and it really depends on what technology you want. If you’re looking for a robotic hand or similar, it could be a while before we get there. As they say, the ideas of today are tomorrow’s world, so there is…
Cost is one thing that keeps you from going solar. After spending time researching the best sustainable option for your home, you might as well agree with me that a rooftop installation is the most cost-effective. Home solar offers many benefits: energy savings, environmental protection, and security. Imagine how you’d feel if, after purchasing a rooftop solar system that costs a lot of money, your provider botched the installation. The savings on your…
Solar energy systems are known for their low maintenance. They require little care and attention over the years. As technology has become more sophisticated, the ‘lifespan of these systems’ has increased dramatically, resulting in lower costs and improved power generation. Before deciding to install solar roof panels, it is important to know what will be required after installation. Also, it would be best if you considered whether or not you’ll need to hire an…
Solar power is a good idea, especially with rising electricity prices and a decreasing amount of power for an increasing population. Luminous gives some of the best reasons to switch from solar energy. This is a good investment for your house or establishment. Solar energy is a great investment for your home or business. It will save you money every month, unlike other improvements and investments. Solar energy also increases the value of…
Climate change is a reality that has been affecting the world for decades. Climate change is causing severe droughts, flooding, and intense storms all over the world. Climate change is part of human history and will continue to be so for many years. Who is accountable for this? It’s pretty clear. Human activities are causing a rapid and environmentally threatening climate shift. We’ve taken the earth for granted for years, whether it was large-scale deforestation…
The electrification of homes is seen as an important mission to power more homes in India’s urban and rural areas so that people have access to lights, fans, and TVs and can charge their phones. Why can’t it be used for more? Electricity for cooking is a big step forward. In India, indoor air pollution caused by stovetop cooking and biomass burning is estimated to cause 1.3 million deaths per year. LPG is…
Delhi became the first Indian city on April 1 this year to switch to Euro-VI grade petrol and diesel. State-owned oil companies are providing this ultra-clean fuel at no extra cost. National Capital Territory includes Noida and other cities such as Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad. In addition, 13 major Indian towns are expected to adopt the new standard for fuel by January 2019. What does this mean for Delhites, then? Less air pollution,…
Anyone who knew what was going on, and that was almost everyone, was not surprised by the decision of the American Administration to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Trump has been a vocal opponent of climate change theory and his campaign promise was to withdraw the United States of America from this historic accord. Although some people expressed concern over the US withdrawing from the treaty – which is only natural, since…
