Maharashtra has one of the highest electricity tariffs in India for residential consumers. It is a well-known fact that urban city consumer, along with the industries and commercial establishments, contribute to the state government subsidy of electricity for farmers. With little respite from the populist measures of subsidizing electricity costs for the rural consumers, high transmission and distribution losses and an ever-increasing cost of electricity from sources like coal and gas, we will continue to have our electricity tariffs going up by 4~5% every year for several years to come. This means that the approximate Rs 7/unit tariff will go up to more than Rs 30/unit in the next 25 years. That definitely does not bode very well.

The only way to tackle this problem of rising electricity tariffs is by producing your own power. The only viable solution is to Go solar and that too in a highly economical and reliable manner. This is where your vacant rooftop comes to your rescue. MYSUN is providing the installation of solar panels in Pune. If you have an unused rooftop, today, every homeowner can save lacs of rupees by installing a rooftop solar power system. And in the process, also make a huge contribution to the environment and to their children’s future. Would it not be awesome to take a decision today and make a difference for the next 25 years?

Look at the illustration below, derived from the MYSUN Solar Calculator. The installation of a rooftop solar system in Pune has helped a lot of people save money. Mr Pant lives in Wakad in Pune and pays Rs 8000 per month electricity bill. By installing a solar system of 6kW, his monthly electricity bill reduces by approx 98% to Rs 165 per month, which is the fixed meter cost. And with a solar system life of 25 years, he ends up saving Rs 26.7 Lakh overall with 35.7% Return on Investment.

 

As you can see from the illustration above that there is a lot of merit in going solar. Pune is a city that receives an abundance of sunlight and the Solar Policy of Maharashtra is one that encourages all residents to make the move to the sunny side. Therefore, there is definitely no better time to Go Solar than now. In the case above, Net Metering has been switched on since the state allows it. In case you are wondering what is Net Metering, it is a process where all the extra units that you generate from your solar system that go unused, are sent back to the main grid and adjusted monthly against your consumption from the grid. Going solar will not just be a great financial investment because the biggest benefit of all is that you will be making a difference and a positive environmental impact by moving to greener and cleaner source of energy. MYSUN can help you become an adopter of Solar Energy in Pune.

So, if you are living in Pune or areas close by, going Solar Pune for your home, Industries or even a Commercial establishment with one of India's finest Solar Companies in Pune makes a lot of financial sense. MYSUN is amongst the top Solar Energy Companies in Pune generating green energy.

The ISA (International Solar Alliance) is a treaty-based coalition of 121 solar resource-rich countries, which are located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, created to address their special energy needs and to provide a platform to collaborate on addressing the identified gaps through a common, agreed approach.

March 11, 2018 saw the inaugural ISA summit hosted in New Delhi, where India along with 23 other nations took a major step towards increased efforts in adopting Solar energy as the primary renewable energy source in the years to come. The effort is aimed towards providing affordable, secure and clean energy in power deficit countries, and to battle the impending climate change that is going to negatively affect a significant number of nations.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a target of achieving 100 GW (gigawatt) of solar power by 2022, out of the total 175 GW the country plans to produce from renewable sources. India has already achieved 20 GW of installed Solar Power 4 years ahead of the deadline. As per the Delhi Solar Agenda that was released after the summit was over, the ISA will facilitate “affordable finance, access to appropriate, clean and environment-friendly technology and undertake capacity building, including forging mutually beneficial partnerships with reputable international institutions and reputable financial institutions for the benefit of developing countries.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also added “First and foremost, we have to ensure that better and affordable solar technology  is available to all and accessible to everyone. We need to increase the proportion of solar power in our energy mix,”.

President Emmanuel Macron, who is visiting India for the Summit, highlighted that to generate 1 TW (terawatt) of solar power by 2030, as envisaged under the ISA, a funding corpus of $1 trillion will be required. Macron also stated that the French Development Agency will allocate €700 million in additional spending to its commitment to solar energy by 2022, taking the total commitment to €1 billion.

In addition to India and France’s Solar efforts, the head of the states from 23 nations hailed their efforts towards providing them a common platform to work towards achieving the ambitious targets for clean energy. Leaders from Africa and the Pacific region hope to produce solar rooftop panels  at rates cheaper than those Made in China.

The President of Seychelles Danny Antoine said the nation has planned to have 100 percent renewable energy by 2050 despite the fact that it is an island nation, while President of Niger Issoufou Mahamadou said that Niger is one of the first countries to sign the ISA agreement because no development is possible without access to electricity.

All in all, the inaugural ISA summit proved to be a success and a step in the right direction towards creating awareness and nation-wide adoption of Solar Energy in the near future.
