Diwali will be lit up with solar energy that will benefit 1.3 crore people

Raman Bhatia, MD of Sarvotech - a company working in the field of solar energy, told Amar Ujala that with the invention of LED lights, very little energy is consumed now to generate light and this is the reason that now light is available almost throughout the night from a battery charged in normal sunlight during the day.

Presently, it is in its initial phase but moving at a great pace. The way Prime Minister Narendra Modiji has promoted the solar energy-the people are getting all the awareness regarding it, and the use of the solar energy equipment is in raised. Once these solar energy lamps become popular among the common people, they can be used as the first choice of the people because their cost is paid once and then they can be used for a long time.

To incentivize solar energy, the central and state governments have brought in a scheme for subsidiary benefits. Currently, a subsidy of as much as Rs 78,000 is granted for installation in a rooftop solar. So far, over 18 lakh consumers have registered to avail the benefit of this scheme. The central government wanted to take its benefit to one crore families, but so far 1.30 crore people have registered to get information about it. Looking at this, it is believed that this scheme can prove to be a big hit. The whole country can get its benefit.
