Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Dr Murmuji (CMERI): Your Opportunity Knocks

 Dr Murmuji (CMERI): Your Opportunity Knocks

=========================================
It is said>Luck happens when hard work meets opportunity
Here is how
YOUR HARD WORK
Some 3 years ago , CMERI developed a Solar Tree , which occupies very little space as compared to traditional flat panel configuration of Roof Top Solar panels of identical capacity
( A ) Capacity
11.5 Kw [ 35 solar PV modules of with a capacity of 330 W each, with annual capacity to generate 12,000 – 14,000 kwh of clean power / Each solar tree has the potential to save 10 – 12 tons of Carbon Emission when compared with fossil fuel
( B ) Cost
Rs 7.5 lakh

YOUR OPPORTUNITY :
On 22nd Jan, PM Shri Modiji announced Surya Ghar : Muft Bijlee Yojana , to install 3 Kw Roof top Solar installations for 1 crore households.
Two days ago MNRE has issued amendments to Electricity Rules in order to accelerate installation of these 1 crore Roof Top Solar panels
PROBLEM :
In all towns / cities, most buildings are having 10 / 15 stories , housing 20 / 30 ( or even more ) tenants
Roofs of these buildings are about 1000 / 1500 sq ft , capable of accommodating only 3 / 5 installations (3 Kw ), each requiring 300 sq ft area . Following factual table compiled by me will explain my point :

SOLUTION :
We need to find a way to sqeeze in 20 installations needing 6,000 sq ft , on a roof area of 1,000 sq ft
That is where CMERI innovation of Solar Tree , could be the PERFECT solution . “ Grow Vertical “ is the answer
I could not find any latest information about this Solar Tree
But, NOW is the time to seize this opportunity and come up with a perfected / commercial version proto-type , on the double ( 4 weeks ? ) , with features / specifications which are equal to or better than the following American Solar Trees

Dr Murmuji ,
Under Surya Ghar yojana, Govt has estimated the “ Sale Price “ of a 3 Kw installation at Rs 1.2 lakh
Four of these ( 12 Kw ) will sell for Rs 4.8 lakh ( as against CMERI estimate of Rs 7.5 lakh for 11.5 Kw )
But if EESL / CESL are mandated to conduct a MASS PURCHASE ( 25 lakh “ Solar Trees “ , each of 12 Kw ) , then, I am sure that price can be brought down to Rs 4.5 lakh
And consider this
CARBON CREDIT EARNED
An 11.5 kW solar tree can generate approximately 20,987 kWh of electricity per year (assuming an average of 5 hours of sunlight per day ).
The average carbon emission factor for electricity generation in India is around 0.8 kg CO2/kWh.
If these figures are closer to reality, then the carbon emission saved by each tree could be close to > 16.8 tons
Hence total saving = 25 lakh trees x 16.8 tons / year = 420 lakh tons / year
If each ton saved, earns $ 10 by way of Carbon Credit, then annual earning :
Ø  420 lakh tons x $ 10 = $ 4200 lakh = $ 420 Million =  420 x 8.24 = Rs 3486 crore / year
