Airports A Better Option Than Households for Rooftop Solar- RMIT University Study Updated On Mon, May 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy According to a recent study by RMIT University (The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) , if Australian government-owned airports had large-scale rooftop solar systems installed, they could produce enough electricity to power 136,000 homes. That makes airports a far more attractive and effective prospects for rooftop solar, than a campaign targeting households. Researchers at RMIT […] Read more
Decentralized Solar Offers Energy Solutions In Climate Vulnerable Regions in India Updated On Mon, May 10th, 2021 by Saurenergy A significant section of rural India lives in areas which are prone/accustomed to climatic adversities. Hence, people living in these regions are greater risk of being underserved, and hence, impoverished. Although there have been significant improvements in India’s rural household electrification, electricity availability for health centers, schools, and rural enterprises is still limited. A new […] Read more
