A recent study by the Indian Foundation for Forest and Environment Research and Studies (iFOREST) has claimed that the state of Odisha in eastern India has a solar potential of around 170 Gigawatt (GW), which is approximately seven times more than the estimates by the
With the opening of the Atal Tunnel on the Manali-Leh Highway, the tourist influx in the district of Lahaul and Spiti in Himachal Pradesh has increased manifold. While this is no problem during summers, winters pose a serious issue of water scarcity, especially in toilets,
As a part of the nationally determined contribution (NDC), India aims to increase around 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, with a target to reach 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. India wants to attain this sustainable energy goal to combat
German automotive giant Audi has recently partnered with German-Indian startup Nunam to give the Indian rickshaw an electric makeover using retired EV batteries. This new partnership will launch a new pilot project in Indian markets in the first quarter of 2023. As part of the
The history of human-wildlife conflicts dates way back to primitive times when man and animals lived in close proximity to each other. As human civilization advanced, the area inhabited by wildlife began to reduce. The land is limited and so are the resources. This created
Many companies across the globe are now switching to solar power for generating clean energy. Scientists are also studying more about other potential uses of solar panels. Recently, a team of researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia has managed to
State-owned renewable energy developer SJVN has recently commissioned Tata Power Solar Systems Limited to develop India’s largest solar engineering procurement and construction (EPC) order for a 1 GW project worth ₹5,500 crores. It’s a 1000 MW solar power project that will be set up in
It is correctly said that, “necessity is the mother of invention.” Living up to this adage, young engineer Soumya Ranjan Palei from Pegarapada in Rajnika block, around 120 km northeast of Bhubaneswar, has created a solar-powered electric cycle. Using a simple battery, solar panel, and
We all are aware of solar panels that produce energy off-grid when the sun is shining bright. But these are rendered useless at nighttime. Not anymore! Recently Stanford University engineers have invented night-time solar panels that can generate electricity even without the Sun’s energy. It
Climatic change is a big concern for our planet today. Therefore, many companies and designers are turning to renewable energy resources to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels for energy. While solar panels are a great source of renewable energy to power homes, wind power
