Selling electricity home systems (EHS): Developing a marketable rooftop solar panel

Abstract

Electricity is the fundamental pillar around which modern industry and economy is built. There is an increasing demand for clean and efficient sources of energy all around the world, and growth in energy generation is simply not matching this demand. The electricity generation requirement for universal electricity access at 2030 is as below. India has extensive energy needs and increasing difficulty in meeting them through traditional means of power generation. In 2012, the world’s largest blackout — the great Indian outage, stretching from New Delhi to Kolkata, occurred. This blackout was due to failure of the northern power grid and caused nearly 700 million people, twice the population of the US, to be without electricity. 1 In such a situation, India needs to shift to non-polluting renewable sources of energy to meet future demand for electricity.
