Postman to deliver Sun-shine ?

 Postman to deliver Sun-shine ?

=======================================
Dear Shri R K Singhji ,

Congratulations for roping in the postmen for visiting homes and “ Registering “ ( - I presume , through their mobiles accessing SuryaGharYojana web site ) /  159,000 post offices / 167,000 employees
I urge you to consider my following suggestion re : these postmen ALSO “ registering “ those households for bank loans – even though , as per procedure , the loan disbursement may take place only AFTER the actual RTS installation / net-metering linkage with DISCOM / installation certificate upload. Just imagine the loan delivered at the doorstep of a household – with no searching involved !
Another suggestion :
In a number of my earlier emails, I have pointed out that , in multi-storied buildings of towns / cities, there is just enough terrace area to serve 3 Kw RTS installations, for 10 % of the flats . This is the biggest hurdle in adoption of Surya Ghar scheme in urban areas
To ( partially ) overcome this , I had suggested extending the terrace slab on all 4 sides as a cantilever structure . This suggestion can be also applied to parapets at each floor. Currently the parapets in city buildings are barely 2 feet – 3 feet wide. I suggest that you persuade Housing Minister to amend the Building Code and advise all State Governments ( and Municipalities ) to mandate that , in all new buildings, parapets at each floor shall be 4 feet wide. This suggestion is in line with the following recent directive of the Assam Govt.
This will enable 60 cell residential Solar Panels ( which are 3.3 feet wide x 5.6 feet long ), to be installed on parapets. I realize that this is not as good a solution as installing Solar Trees , suggested in my earlier blog , but it may still help some more flat-owners to avail of this scheme

With regards,
