Welcome to Solar Connect!
Jovial June!
In India, the agricultural sector plays a crucial role in the country's GDP. The storage and processing of harvested crops are of utmost importance, particularly when it comes to cooling fruits and vegetables to maintain their freshness and prevent rapid deterioration before transportation.
However, India faces a shortfall of over 10 million tons in cold storage facilities for agricultural produce, and energy expenses account for a significant 28% of costs in these cold storages.
A report commissioned by the Planning Commission of India, which aimed to understand the causes of post-harvest losses in key agricultural states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, identified the lack of reliable power supply in these regions. The report also highlighted that existing large-scale cold storage facilities located in urban centers primarily cater to potato storage. Additionally, the distance between rural producers and markets increases the risk of post-harvest deterioration.
Therefore, there is a pressing need to establish self-reliant and sustainable cold storage facilities in close proximity to agricultural fields. By doing so, transportation costs can be reduced, which would encourage more farmers to avail themselves of this facility.
The potential for renewable energy in India is significant, with an estimated capacity of over 245 GW, including more than 100 GW from solar energy alone. This vast potential encompasses various forms of renewable energy. By embracing renewable energy sources, sectors like food storage/cold chain can enhance their energy security. The technological and economic advancements in renewable energy have made it a viable alternative to grid power, allowing its deployment even in remote areas at a competitive price and on a large scale.
A Story of a Solar-Powered Village
We are excited to share the success story of Odhuntatrai village, a shining example of harnessing solar energy for sustainable development. With the installation of a solar power plant, this rural community has become self-sufficient in meeting its energy needs. The solar panels not only power the village's homes and businesses but also contribute to reducing carbon emissions. Odhuntatrai village serves as an inspiring model for other communities looking to embrace clean and renewable energy sources.
