Kerala must install more solar panels

Solar energy is abundant throughout the year in Kerala as it is situated in the sub-tropical region of the Earth. Technological advancement in solar energy equipment like solar panels and solar inverters made it easy to tap this abundant source of energy more efficiently and cheaply. It is expected that the power utilization is going to sour each and every day. Given the present power shortage crisis, it is pertinent to fasten the adoption of solar energy technology. 

The government of India has announced a subsidy for residential solar power systems up to 10 KW. This solar subsidy program is called Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojna. The subsidy will cover up to 40% of the cost of the solar panels Read more at: https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/get-free-electricity-with-surya-ghar-muft-bijli-yojana-1.9355247 This initiative to boost solar power system adoption in Indian households has introduced a sudden boom in this industry. People are getting attracted to this power production method. 

People of India, especially in Kerala, are becoming aware of the importance of solar power as a green initiative as well as an economical advantage. The number of electric cars and bikes is increasing day by day; thereby increasing the number of charging stations. This power-hungry conversion to EV technology is to be supported by clean energy production. Otherwise, to meet the increasing power demand more and more fossil fuel-based power plants will rise which in turn spew massive amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas emissions have to be controlled to limit the global warming. So, solar power plants on your rooftop are one of the best solutions to climate change.

The Government of Kerala also had the Soura subsidy scheme to promote rooftop solar power plants. Lakhs of houses installed rooftop solar systems and availed the incentives from the Government via KSEB. There is no doubt that these solar power plants have produced a significant amount of power. Aided by schemes such as the Soura rooftop solar, the combined installed capacity of solar power plants in Kerala had touched 1,000 Megawatts. Solar electricity generation in Kerala has touched 10% of the total power generation. More people are shifting towards solar energy as of Dec 2023. As per the latest data, rooftop solar panels have been installed in more than 1,70,000 houses in Kerala.

Though Kerala is comparatively a small state, Kerala can take the leadership to showcase the cons of adopting solar power plants to the world. Kerala faced the worst floods twice in recent years, thanks to climate change. As a developing state, clean energy technologies are unavoidable to reduce pollution. "Many a mickle makes a muckle". Let us all try to install rooftop solar power systems on our rooftops.

Cochin International Airport Limited(CIAL), in Kerala, is the world's first airport to run fully on solar power. CIAL now has a total installed solar capacity of 50 MWp. Other large businesses are also following their path. Kochi Metro and Kochi Water Metro also have large installed capacity on their buildings. More the number of solar panels less the carbon footprint. Kerala can make the maximum benefit from the sun as well as from the advanced technology in the solar sector.
