GOVT. OF INDIA EARMARKS 1500 CR. FOR SOLAR PROJECTS

Riding on success of its efforts to promote solar energy the government has launched the capital subsidy-cum-refinance scheme for installation of solar off-grid (photo voltaic and thermal) and de-centralised applications under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission program through National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD)

This new scheme will target off-grid applications of solar energy for domestic lighting and heating system in rural areas where power supply is either erratic or negligible.

The scheme was announced by Mr. P.Mohanaiah, Chief General Manager, at a state level meeting recently, among others present at the meeting were representatives of Non-conventional Energy Development Corporation of AP and State-Level Banker’s Committee.Banks and finance companies will now be getting about 1500 Cr. over next two years at 5% interest rate to finance solar energy projects.

The projects that will come under consideration will be small solar projects adding up to 200 MW. IREDA would be providing the funds to NABARD, SIDBI, National Housing Bank and other state run banks at 2% interest rate.

IREDA feels that this would be an incentive to otherwise conservative banks to lend more to renewable sector, the projects are coming up under phase 1 of the national solar mission which aims to add up to 20,000MW of solar power by the year 2022.

IREDA is expecting a net profit of Rs.100 crore in the current financial year against 73 crore in the last year. The agency has achieved a growth of nearly 27% in loan disbursements with increase from Rs.1,823 crore in 2009-10 to about Rs.2,300 crore this year. The agency is likely to achieve Rs.1150 crore in the current fiscal as against 889 crore in the last fiscal. Recently, it signed a Rs.1,200-crore agreement with Germany's Kiwi Bank and it would sign a deal with Japan International Cooperation Agency by the end of March for Rs.1,650 crore.

Green Power to empower millions of people – from darkness to light.

Microfinance is an innovative banking system that provides small loans to poor people (often women) to help them start their own businesses and gradually work their way out of poverty.

In remote parts of the Indian subcontinent...through small loans for solar powered devices, microfinance is bringing light...where a lack of electricity has stymied economic development, literacy rates and health.."They have increased their productivity, improved their health and socio-economic status.

Green Energy for Empowering Rural India: Almost all developing countries have enormous solar power potential — most of Africa, for example, has around 325 days of strong sunlight a year, delivering, on average, more than 6 kWh energy per square meter a day And yet the countries that receive the most solar energy are often also the ones least able to benefit from it, due to a lack of knowledge and capacity to harness solar power and convert it into electricity

In developing countries the percentage of households which have no access to electricity is more significant. Most of those lacking access live in rural or per-urban areas. Solar photovoltaic (PV) cell designed to convert light into electricity is often used to cover the electricity need of household.
Solar power and other renewable energy sources are seeing technological advances that are making them cost effective. Rapid growth is projected. Solar the Photovoltaic Energy is part of Rural Revolution in the rural areas where grid power is not yet reached. In India Solar Photovoltaic System is successfully installed in large number of villages.

A household can generate most of the electricity they need with photovoltaic cells on their rooftops. If there isn't enough sunlight at times, electricity can be stored in batteries for cloudy days.

A household can generate most of the electricity they need with photovoltaic cells on their rooftops. If there isn't enough sunlight at times, electricity can be stored in batteries for cloudy days.

Solar water heating systems pay for themselves in three to five years. The technological challenge we face is to find ways to make solar technologies affordable for everyone.

The SPV system consists of an 800/860 WP (weather permitting) photovoltaic arrangement, a permanent DC magnet motor-driven floating pump which can pump water from a depth of eight meters through the optimum of 6.5 meters. It can ideally function in a wide-mouth well with a flow rate of 70,000 liters a day. The photovoltaic modules on the solar panel capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. The panel is connected to the pump via a plug so that the farmer finds it easy to use. The system works as long as there is sunshine. For example in In South India, the sun is of course plentiful.

Solar home systems

The most common solar PV system in rural settings is the solar home system, made up of a solar panel, connected to a battery and charge controller. It usually includes at least one light and a socket to power other electrical equipment such as radios, televisions or mobile phone chargers
