The Impact of Rooftop Solar on Commercial and Industrial Enterprises

Image
Commercial rooftop solar power, or installing solar panels on commercial and industrial buildings, has great potential to produce renewable energy and offers great benefits to business. Rooftop solar power is becoming an increasingly viable option for generating electricity as companies look to save costs and reduce environmental impact. In this blog, we discuss in the impact of solar panels in businesses and industries. Introduction to Rooftop Solar Solar energy, also known as commercial rooftop or rooftop solar energy in the industry, is used in warehouses, office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, etc. It refers to the installation of solar panels on commercial buildings. and industrial facilities such as factories. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity that can be used to power a building or facility or to sell electricity. Solar power is a distributed generation technology because, unlike large solar farms elsewhere, it produces electricity close to where it i...

Impact of Renewable Energy on India's Energy Mix

Image
India is currently the third largest energy consumer in the world after China and the United States. With a population of over 1.3 billion and a rapidly growing economy, India's energy demands are rising exponentially.  This surging energy consumption is being driven by factors such as economic development, industrialisation, rising household incomes, and urbanisation. More Indians are shifting to higher standards of living which requires increased usage of appliances, vehicles, and other energy-intensive technologies. Key sectors like transportation, construction, manufacturing and services have high energy dependence and account for a major share of India’s total commercial energy consumption. Over-reliance on Fossil Fuels To meet the ballooning energy needs of its populace and industries, India has traditionally relied heavily on domestic coal reserves and imported fossil fuels like oil and natural gas. Coal alone comprised nearly 55% of the commercial energy needs of the countr...

Powering Sustainable Progress: The Significance of Green Hydrogen

Image
Hydrogen has immense potential to build a sustainable future as it is a clean energy carrier that can store and transport renewable energy. However, the production of hydrogen from fossil fuels results in greenhouse gas emissions. This is where green hydrogen plays a crucial role in accelerating the global transition towards clean energy. What is green hydrogen? Green hydrogen, also known as renewable hydrogen or sustainable hydrogen, is hydrogen produced through electrolysis using renewable sources like solar and wind. In the electrolysis process, electricity from renewable energy sources is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. As it is produced without carbon emissions, green hydrogen is considered a clean fuel that can help decarbonize industries and sectors that currently rely heavily on fossil fuels currently. Importance of green hydrogen production There are several advantages of green hydrogen  over hydrogen produced from fossil fuels: Greenhouse gas reduction: Gree...
