Solar, Coal

with technology they are creating more powerful solar panels which can generate more amount of electricity in less area...

40% is the max efficiency for commercial solar panels, and that degrades every year..

dude..Desrets are not wastelands..

they are one of the large natural Carbon sinks on Earth.. environmental imbalance already chala undi.

inka nature joliki pote affa ne...

what i am trying to say is in the future we will get more efficient solar panels and batteries...  A good car and a bus is running on battery now... did you imagine such a huge vehicles running on battery 10 years back??

According to an article in Science Daily in April 2008, desert sands are an important carbon sink on Earth. Scientists discovered that bacteria living in the sands of the Kalahari desert in Africa help gather and store carbon dioxide from the air. Since carbon dioxide is one of the prime causes of global warming, these desert sands may play a critical role in preventing additional carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

china and germanylo they are laying roads with solar panels...I meant non agricultural land as waste land...

so do you think installing solar panels will make the desert lose its power as carbon sinks??

germany lo makes sense...they have no land.

China, it is 3 times larger than India with mere 10% more population..daniki manaki compare cheksunte ela vayya..in terms of free land.

there will be environmental impact.

carbon sink post was to tell Deserts are not waste lands.

With Solar getting so cheap and we are looking to go to Solar as Buying coal is costlier than setting up a solar power plant, how would Singareni get business. 

 

I get the point that there will be demand in the night time and so Coal is the only option until we use batteries to save Solar power. But eventually doesn't that mean Singareni will be out of business?

This is a wrong notion.

If solar is so cheap, INdia would have had 30-40% of power needs fultilled by solar energy itself but reality seems to be different.

Coal and Hydel are very cheap to produce with most cheapest is hydel which usually cost around 1-2- paisa per unit..followed by coal which stands at 50-60 paise per unit...

solar production still is expensive at almost 4 rupees 5o paise levels. 

and with transparency in allocation of coal blocks in 2015, giving free hand for power companies to procure coal from other countries and acquiring coal from Coal India being made transparent, its very easy to procure coal and produce power than installing and maintaining solar plants.

Solar has to wait for few more years to be considered as mainstream energy source.

[Avakashavadi]

the solar technology what is present now, is not efficient and cannot compete with coal and hydel...

However, hoping technology would advance in the coming days, we can expect better solar technologies

but for now..and another 2 decades, coal is king.

a e vehicles ki malli power kaval kada charging ki..

so demand will be exponential then.
