KSERC’s New Order Brings Clarity and Flexibility for Kerala’s Solar Prosumers In a move that brings greater clarity and relief to domestic solar consumers, the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) has issued a landmark order addressing key concerns related to fixed charges and security deposits for solar prosumers in the state. The order, released on September 22, 2025, follows a petition (OP No. 43/2025) filed by Shri Jameskutty Thomas and others, challenging the legality of certain billing practices of the Kerala State Electricity Board Limited (KSEB Ltd) under the Net Metering System. Hearings were conducted on August 27 and September 2, 2025, before a panel chaired by Shri T.K. Jose, with members Adv. A.J. Wilson and Shri B. Pradeep. The petitioners argued that KSEB was unfairly levying fixed charges based on the total electricity consumed, including the power generated from rooftop solar systems, and was also retaining high security deposits. They contended th...

Sodium-Ion Batteries: The Next Big Leap in Energy Storage For decades, lithium-ion batteries have powered our phones, laptops, solar systems, and electric vehicles. But as the world races toward clean energy and electric mobility, lithium technology is beginning to show cracks. Rising costs, fragile supply chains, and safety concerns mean we need a better, more scalable solution. Enter sodium-ion batteries — the affordable, abundant, and safer alternative that could reshape the global energy storage industry. Once a promising research project, sodium-ion technology is now moving into commercial production, bringing us closer to the next generation of EV batteries, renewable energy storage, and hybrid solar power systems . Why the World Needs an Alternative to Lithium Lithium batteries enabled the smartphone era and the rise of EVs. But their long-term limitations are hard to ignore: High material costs due to scarce lithium resources Ethical and environmental issues tied ...
