It doesn’t generate much power, but it works during the one time of day that solar cells can’t: night. Aaswath Raman was driving through a village in Sierra Leone in 2013 when an idea came to him as suddenly as, perhaps, a light bulb switching on. The village was not equipped with electricity,

The rates vary for states which come under the special category status. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has notified the new benchmark costs for grid-connected rooftop solar power projects for the financial year (FY) 2019-20. The new benchmark costs will apply to all the impleme

The biggest solar parks now have about 2 GW of generating capacity and are expanding towards 5 GW Here are the top 10 largest solar power plants in the world: 1. China: Yanchi Solar Park Situated in China, it gives an output of about 820 MW. The plant has been operational since 2016. 2. China:

A Surge Protection Device (SPDs) is a component of the electrical installation protection system. This device is connected to the power supply in parallel with the loads (circuits)that it is intended to protect (see Figure 4). It can also be used at all levels of the power supply network. Princi
