Solar panels are important for homes in Goa because there’s lots of sunshine here. They help residents save money on electricity bills and it is useful when the power goes off. The cost of the rooftop solar subsidy will be shared between the State and central governments, providing applicants with a 50% discount on their eligibility. Now in order to bolster generation of renewable energy, the government on Thursday revamped its subsidy scheme for rooftop solar installations.
While the previous scheme was only for residential consumers, the revised scheme reportedly covers all segments, including residential, institutional, social, government, commercial, industrial, etc.
In industries solar energy can be used to generate heat for a wide variety of industrial applications, including water desalination, enhanced oil recovery, food processing, chemical production, and mineral processing, among many others. Industrial solar power, therefore, is a way to reduce the peak loading of the grid and do away with high tariff rates for the peak hours. Heavy peak usage and large available area make solar a perfect energy solution for industries. One of the strengths of solar energy is that it is self-generating and can be used anywhere.
