Agriculture is the backbone of many countries' economies and sustains millions of livelihoods globally. However, conventional agriculture practices are associated with environmental degradation, such as soil depletion, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. The increasing demand for food and fibre coupled with climate change impacts has intensified the need for sustainable agricultural practices. One solution that has emerged is the use of green energy in agriculture. Further, we will explore the opportunities and challenges associated with green energy solutions for sustainable agriculture.Opportunities:Solar-powered irrigation: Solar-powered irrigation systems have the potential to transform agriculture in many developing countries where access to electricity is limited. These systems use solar panels to power pumps, allowing farmers to irrigate their crops even in areas with unreliable electricity supply. Solar-powered irrigation systems reduce energy costs and increase water efficiency, making them an attractive solution for farmers in areas with water scarcity.Wind-powered water pumping: Wind turbines can be used to power water pumps, providing a sustainable solution for irrigation. Wind-powered water pumping is an environmentally friendly option as it does not emit any greenhouse gases. It is also a cost-effective option for farmers as they do not have to pay for fuel or electricity to power the pumps.Biogas plants: Biogas plants are an innovative solution that converts organic waste into renewable energy. Biogas plants can generate electricity, heat, and biofertilizers. They can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by converting organic waste into energy instead of letting it decompose and emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Biogas plants can also provide a sustainable solution for managing livestock manure, a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.Challenges:Initial cost: The initial cost of setting up green energy solutions such as solar-powered irrigation, wind-powered water pumping, and biogas plants can be high. This can deter farmers from adopting these solutions, particularly small-scale farmers who may not have access to financing.Technical know-how: Green energy solutions require technical expertise, which may not be readily available in rural areas. Farmers need to be trained on how to operate and maintain these systems, which can be a challenge.Policy and regulatory challenges: There may be policy and regulatory challenges that hinder the adoption of green energy solutions. For instance, some countries may have regulations that make it difficult to connect to the grid, limiting the use of solar-powered systems. There may also be a lack of incentives or subsidies to encourage the adoption of these solutions.Policies and incentives:Governments can play a crucial role in promoting the adoption of green energy solutions in agriculture by providing policies and incentives that support their implementation. Some of the policies and incentives that can be implemented include:Financial incentives: Governments can provide financial incentives to farmers to encourage them to adopt green energy solutions. For instance, they can offer subsidies to offset the initial costs of setting up these systems.Training and education: Governments can provide training and education to farmers to help them understand how to operate and maintain green energy solutions.Regulatory reforms: Governments can review their policies and regulations to ensure that they support the adoption of green energy solutions. For instance, they can amend regulations to make it easier for farmers to connect to the grid and sell surplus energy generated by green energy solutions.Conclusion:Green energy solutions such as solar-powered irrigation, wind-powered water pumping, and biogas plants offer significant opportunities for sustainable agriculture practices. However, their implementation faces several challenges, including high initial costs, technical know-how, and policy and regulatory hurdles. Governments can play a crucial role in promoting the adoption of these solutions by providing policies and incentives that support their implementation. With the right policies and incentives, green energy solutions can transform agriculture and help

Discussion around battery efficiency is possibly at the highest point as most electronics and now the electric vehicle customers are demanding long life of batteries while giving the optimum output. The demands though at loggerhead with each other, is important inflection point for users both in terms of safety and durability. Hence there are different types of batteries that the companies are trying to trifle with so that an array of best answers is provided for the users. Solar deep cycle batteries are different from regular batteries in terms of power output. Regular batteries like those used in fossil fuel driven cars produce a shorter burst of electricity. But deep cycle batteries can produce ongoing, lower yet consistent, levels of power.Deep-cycle batteries are popular for off-grid or hybrid solar systems because they can be completely discharged and are not damaged as quickly as normal batteries can be. For example, an acid lead-acid battery, can only be discharged at a maximum of 50% to extend its useful life.When using batteries for solar panels as part of integrated home solar system, the deep-cycle batteries allow users to store the excess electricity that the solar panels produce instead of sending that energy back into the grid. Electricity is only sent to the grid if the batteries are fully charged and the solar panels are still producing energy. While there are options of producing solar energy while being grid-tied, which essentially means no requirement to add a battery, but hybrid solar solutions are increasingly popular. But any off-grid lifestyle or travel will need a solar battery. A few situations that demand deep cycle battery and its efficiency are life in camper or motorhome or a boat where battery storage is the only way to ensure continued energy access. Depending on the necessity and situation there is a plethora of deep cycle solar technologies and products available in the market like Flooded lead acid, sealed lead acid, and lithium iron phosphate enabled batteries which all have their own advantages, from maintenance levels, to cycle lives, and charge rates. Deciding on the right solar storage solution can be challenging with all of the deep cycle battery options available. There’s not a one-sized-fits-all solution, but by weighing the cost and benefits with help of skilled manager advisors, one should be able to invest in a suitable battery bank and create own solar storage system.
Technology that addresses the increasing concerns on environment, reduces fossil fuels and demonstrates less damage to the human, animal, and plant health are loosely termed as green technology. In the current business scenario when one of the primary focus of all companies is developing a sustainable business that is least environment disruptive, reduces the amount of waste and pollution that are created during production and consumption, it is pertinent that the use and demand for Green technologies are on a rise. The demand of sustainable technology is such that, worldwide, green technology investments reached $755 billion in 2021, a sharp rise from the previous year, according to research by BloombergNEF.The sectors that saw maximum investments in lieu of green technology are energy (alternate energy sector) and transportation (electric vehicle), followed by significant focus also on developing sustainable materials, carbon capture, and energy storage, although these figures were dwarfed by the investment in energy and transportation.However, like all investments, in the face of covid challenge and increasing financial pressure during the economic downturn in recent years, Green technology is also facing the challenge of investments and financing. More so because green investments have become a case of business survival as compared to sustainable business line. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) mostly led small and medium businesses are facing the brunt of limited investments.As design, product specifications and demand for customized products increase with digital adaptions, the requirement for OEM & ODM line of products, research and development, integration of green features is also equally important. However, to maintain the line of research and product offerings, it will need structured investment commitments. Managing green innovation investment in a Co-opetitive supply chain under capital constraint is a challenge of modern day and government together with private manufacturers need to create dedicated financial instruments to get over the roadblock and attract green technology innovators (GTIs), who are committed in making the world a better place.The challenge of investing in green technology is twofold-- while the objective of the investor is to increase personal wealth, and to make the world a better place through socially responsible investing. While this is a challenging task, there are enough opportunities today that are rewarding enough to protect the investor’s portfolio and the environment together.
According to a study by Invest India, the LED lighting market in the country grew 130-fold within five years, increasing from annual sales of 5 million bulbs per year in 2014 to about 670 million in 2018 resulting in 30 terawatt hours (TWh) of energy savings annually. While the initial driver of the LED market creation was driven by governments’ demand under the ‘Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All’ (UJALA), the next level of deamdn creation will be originating from Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP), through which government not only aims to replace the regular street lightings with LED lights but also looks to address the highway lighting infrastructure in the country. Incidentally, SLNP is the world’s largest streetlight replacement programme and UJALA is the world’s largest domestic lighting project.The LED bulbs equipped road infrastructure not only helped with energy-efficient, cost-effective lighting but also offered and higher lumen output than conventional incandescent bulbs, lighting up the darkest city corners. The SLNP made roads safer for pedestrians and motorists due to enhanced brightness. There are plans to retrofit or install 30 million LED streetlights by 2024.Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the Indian LED market to reach US$ 9.7 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 23.31% during 2022-2027, with the country clocking the fastest growth in the entire Asia-Pacific region.The ambitious growth plans of India is also expected to intensify further, driving up the demand for the LEDs as the government rushes in to fulfil India’s commitment to reach net zero by 2070 according to Prime Minister’s announcement at COP26.As per the updated Nationally determined contributions (NDC), India now stands committed to reduce emissions intensity of its GDP by 45 percent by 2030 from 2005 level and LED usage in residential, commercial and infrastructural usage is going to lead the way forward.LED lighting has also become a key enabler of the ‘One-Word Movement’ LIFE – that is ‘Lifestyle For Environment’ as it has truly armed the vision of change for wider population to live a modern lifestyle that does not harm our planet. According to studies, India’s massive LED bulb campaign is reducing emissions by 40 million tonnes annually, as India progressively continue to decouple economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions.
Original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are an infallible part of the manufacturing
process –where a right partnership not only offers products and services for value
for money but also assures of best technology and green production process.
With sustainability of processes with least environmental impacts becoming one
the most important cogs in the entire manufacturing line, it is pertinent that
even the smallest OEMs toe the line of least carbon technology.Adoption of
new processes can be intimidating and the return to investment is viable only
in the long run. Thus, imbibing green manufacturing rules while maintaining
production scale and profit is a challenge that the entire manufacturing sector
is facing with Industry 4.0. Especially with smart technologies paving the way forward,
it has become a necessity to maintain continuous power supply, data analysis
equipment and response mechanism, which all adds to further carbon generation.
As
effectively said, “Responsible Manufacturing is Smart Manufacturing,” and
changes towards Climate Effective Manufacturing needs to start right at the
grassroots where the MSMEs are the owners of the products. Though they do not
have a say over the last product that is reaching the customers, 7.9 million
MSME/ OEM enterprises will definitely have an impact over the carbon emission
from manufacturing sector.
However as
understood and also discussed in many forums, in most cases, given the size of
the OEMs, it is difficult for them to make these changes. Technology
implementation, sustainable processes and changes for environment friendly
manufacturing by OEMs will need handholding, at least in the short run, by the
larger organisations along the manufacturing chain for whom the cost of
remaining ‘Unsmart’ can result into becoming ‘Uncompetitive’.
In the long
run, awareness creation about the benefits of green manufacturing and
Sustainable practices can also help the OEMs remain efficient with materials,
giving better returns to investment. In turn, these Smart OEMs will have lesser
waste to deal with and hence disposal costs will also decrease. Furthermore, with
government also appreciating efforts for sustainability, they can qualify for
reduction in environmental taxes. Eco-friendly measures can not only help to
gain access to new markets but also enables the OEMs to demonstrate sustainable
credentials.
As India looks to generate alternative sources of energy and reduce dependency on coal to achieve its net-zero emissions by 2070 and achieving non-fossil fuel energy capacity of 500 gigawatts, 50% energy requirements from renewable sources, reducing total projected carbon emissions by 1 billion tonnes and reducing the carbon intensity of the economy to less than 45% by 2030, it is pertinent that Solar energy is tapped and used most efficiently and widely. According to Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), for India to reach its bold target of having net-zero emissions by 2070, the country's solar power capacity would have to rise to over 5,600 GW, coal use particularly in the power sector will have to drop by 99 per cent by 2060 and crude oil would need to peak by 2050 and fall substantially by 90 per cent in the two decades thereafter.Unfortunately, India has failed to meet the projected target to produce 20 GW of solar power by 2020. In such a scenario, the smaller private applications like solar powered products are not only adding value to sustainability, but also helping India to meet its NetZero target, it promised at COP26.In tandem with the global requirement, the netizens of India are also having increased awareness with a data generated by search engine JustDial showing the demand for solar equipment rising by 14% last month on a year-on-year basis. During the same period, demand in tier-1 cities rose by 13% and tier-II by 11%. The two most searched solar equipment were solar panels and geysers while solar lights, inverters, and fences made the top-5 most searched solar products in the country. Delhi, Bengaluru, and Pune were the top three in terms of the adoption of solar energy.In keeping with the trend that private consumption of solar powered products is going to lead the market, the PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme aimed at rural India saw an increase of allotment to off-grid solar power consumption including solar lanterns, street lighting systems and solar water pumps from Rs 700 crore to Rs 776 crore in 2021-’22, thus creating a stable market for solar products in the country.Reference:https://scroll.in/article/1016253/to-meet-its-net-zero-target-india-needs-to-allocate-more-funds-for-renewable-energy-in-the-budget#:~:text=India's%20five%20new%20pledges%20are,economy%20to%20less%20than%2045%25.https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/for-net-zero-india-needs-5600-gw-of-solar-capacity-coal-usage-drop-by-99-ceew/articleshow/87485500.cmshttps://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/renewables/demand-for-solar-panels-geysers-surges-in-delhi-bluru-pune-amid-power-outages/articleshow/91639642.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst
The battery is considered the core of power backup system.

with a few simple maintenance tips. So, let’s run down the list of
easiest and quickest tips on how to maintain an
Inverter Battery.
Tip
1: Always Store & Install Battery in an Airy SpaceMake sure to install the inverter battery in an open or airy
place which will provide natural cooling air
circulation to counter the heating problem if inverter battery. Do not use,
store or leave the inverter battery in hot places (e.g. by the fire, near a
heater or in direct sunlight
Tip
2: Keep the Inverter Battery Away From Inflammable ObjectsIt is recommended to place the inverter battery in a safe place away from

and services.
Tip
4: Cleaning of Battery TerminalsMake sure to periodically check the inverter battery water level every 45
days and ensure that the water level is not below the
minimum level.
Tip 5:
Top-Up the Battery only With Distilled WaterOne needs to top-up inverter battery with distilled water only. Normal
tap
water and RO water should not be used for top-up as
they contain dirt and other impurities that can shorten the battery life. It is
suggested to use Luminous Inverter Batteries distilled water that are designed
for durability and long life of the batteries.
Tip
6: Keep the Battery Surface CleanIt is absolutely important that the inverter battery’s surface is always
clean and dust free. The best way to clean the surface of inverter battery is
to use a clean cotton cloth to wipe off the dirt.
For those unaware, the purpose of an off-grid inverter is simple, yet essential for anyone looking to set up an off-grid or backup power system, including solar-powered systems. Inverters convert the DC power stored within a battery (direct current, 12V, 24V, or 48V)into AC power (alternating current, 230-240V) that can be used to run your household items and electrical appliances, from fridges to televisions to mobile phone chargers. Inverters are an essential item for anyone without access to the main power source, as they can easily provide a plentiful amount of electricity. Inverters come in many different shapes and sizes and vary in various ways. There are two main contrasting characteristics between different types of off-grid inverters: • The type of power output, categorized by which sine wave it uses – modified or pure sine wave. We produce only pure sine wave inverters, which are more efficient and have a broader range of suitable appliances they can power, compared to modified sine wave inverters. • What internal frequency the inverter circuits operate at – low frequency or high frequency (not to be confused with AC power output frequency which is a standard 50Hz for our inverters). Low-frequency inverters have the advantage over high-frequency inverters in two fields: peak power capacity and reliability. Low-frequency inverters are designed to deal with higher power spikes for longer periods of time than high-frequency inverters. Power spikes can occur for a number of reasons (e.g. devices like power tools, pumps, vacuum cleaners and other appliances with electric motors require high starting power); when inverters experience such spikes, they can endure the increased power for a short period of time before shutting down in order to prevent any damage being done to them. Low-frequency inverters have much greater peak power capacity to handle large loads with power spikes than high-frequency inverters. In fact, low-frequency inverters can operate at the peak power level which is up to 200% of their nominal power level for several seconds, while high-frequency inverters can operate at 150% power level for a small fraction of a second. The second main difference is reliability: low-frequency inverters operate using powerful transformers, which are more reliable and sturdy than the high-frequency inverter’s MOSFETs, which use electronic switching and are more prone to damage, particularly at high power levels. In addition to these qualities, low-frequency inverters come with a wide range of technical features and capabilities that most high-frequency inverters lack; these include a built-in battery charger; UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) functions; by-pass mode various charge settings (like different battery types and charging voltages). In terms of other differences, low-frequency inverters can sustain verse grid inputs conditions, like voltage fluctuations, high voltage spikes, and lightning. But high-frequency inverters cannot sustain the same. Serviceability is an important challenge for the inverter industry; in high-frequency inverters a lot of electronics components with complex design circuits in case of inverter failure you have to replace complete electronics PPCB, which cost is approx 80% of the new inverter. But with the transformer-based (Low-Frequency inverter) inverter's designs are much simple and easily repairable. Any technician can repair at the component level if in any verse case need to replace electronics PPCB with new PCB that cost will be not much more approx 30-40% of new inverter. Low-frequency inverters are not ideal for everyone; they’re very large and are considerably heavier than high-frequency inverters, and would be best suited for those who either are building an off-grid power system with no significant power restrictions or who run powerful appliances and devices with electric motors like power tools, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and air conditioners. Low-frequency inverters are also best suited for those who want to power various kitchen appliances such as refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, and ovens. Enhanced peak performance capacity and improved reliability of low-frequency inverters mean that they cost more than high-frequency inverters. If you do not consume a lot of energy and you only have small appliances that you need to power, or you have limited space for an inverter, then a high-frequency inverter would be more suitable for you. Low-frequency inverters remain a fantastic investment for anyone who has a lot of powerful electrical appliances in a place with limited or no access to standard electricity. Coupled with a suitable solar power kit, low-frequency inverters can not only provide a reliable backup power solution but completely replace conventional electricity with the same quality power supply. The price you would pay for a low-frequency inverter over a high-frequency inverter should be considered a long-term investment, given how unlikely the low-frequency inverter is to break down. They are indeed bigger, stronger, and tougher.
Power outages have grown commonplace. Excessive grid load and unequal electricity distribution across grids are only a few of the reasons. The end-user has clearly been harmed, and the only viable alternative is to switch to a backup source. Inverters are built to meet this critical requirement.With the usage of a solar inverter, you will have the added benefit of off-grid power generated by the sun, which is completely free, and you will be able to lower your monthly electricity expenses. However, if you’ve found yourself confused amidst the hundreds of solar inverters present in the market, here’s a detailed step-by-step process to help you select better. Step 1:
Learn about the many types of solar inverters
that are regularly utilized. Grid-tie, off-grid, and hybrid inverters are the
three main types of solar inverters available on the market today.
Grid-tie
inverter: This device converts DC to AC and has the capacity to
synchronize with a utility line. This inverter has no battery and is meant
to send your unused power to the grid. Its input circuitry might be fitted
with MTTP technology.
Off-grid
inverter: A stand-alone (off-grid) inverter converts DC to AC from a
storage battery. Electricity is provided by these inverters to a variety
of residential and business projects. These lower wattage ones are mostly
used to power household appliances.
Hybrid
inverter: This device likewise converts DC to AC, but it has the advantage
of being able to be utilized in both grid-tied and off-grid PV systems.
Step 2:
Compare the efficiency of various solar
inverter models.
Because efficiency is the lifeblood of any
solar inverter, it's important to emphasize it while shopping for one. So far,
SMA has the greatest conversion efficiency of nearly 98 percent, while Omnik
has the highest micro inverter conversion efficiency of 96.5 percent. However,
not all high-efficiency inverters are appropriate for your specific needs, so
proceed with caution when making your final selection.
Step 3:
Take note of each solar inverter's critical
parameter.
A solar inverter does not create power, but it
does require a set of parameters to ensure that it functions properly. The
input DC voltage, output AC voltage, frequency, and circuitry that suits it are
the most significant factors to consider. The input voltage for a typical
domestic solar power system, for example, is between 24 and 48 VDC.
Step 4:
Make sure the inverter you select has a lot of
power.
Solar inverters are frequently put outside of
a structure. If that's the case, they'll need to be able to withstand a variety
of weather conditions. Under this situation, you'll want to see if the inverter
has a strong casing or some other technology that ensures it will perform even
in extreme conditions.
As you may be aware, high temperatures cause
the PV system's voltage to rise, while low temperatures cause it to fall. The
inverter may be damaged or get worse if the maximum voltage standard is
exceeded. The inverter may stop operating if the voltage in the system is too
low. IP65 technology ensures that the inverter is rarely impacted by adverse
weather conditions.
Step 5:
Checkout for additional features
LCD Status Indicators: Modern inverters
include LCD status indicators that provide information such as battery charge
level, load, input/output voltages, and battery life.
Earth Leakage Protection: An earth leakage
protector is a safety device that protects people and gadgets from electric
shock. Earth leakage prevention circuits are included in modern solar
inverters, which continually monitor earth leakage and switch off the power to
protect consumers.
Now You Know!
Once you’ve been through the different stages
of selecting your inverter, you can now easily find and get one for your home
or office. However, once done, it is important that you understand that your
budget also plays a significant role in the process.
We
all have faced natural disasters sooner or later. Due to these natural
calamities, we all have also suffered from an extended loss of electrical
power. Many recent headlines show Earthquakes, Ice storms, and snow have caused
a devastating effect on the extended power outages on the human population.
Having an emergency backup system has become a necessity nowadays. Solar power
generators with no fuss of conventional diesel or gas have become favorites of
many in this scenario. A trustworthy power back generator would save you from
such pointless sufferings by allowing the use of essential electrical
appliances during these emergencies.
A few
hours can be manageable, but if you need to stay without power for days or
weeks with no electric supply, then it might have some serious consequences.
The energy from the sun is free. Thus using the sun’s energy for providing
power during natural calamities is a feasible solution. Having a solar power
generator from the top company like Fortuner will offer you 12 continuous
powers back up. A solar power generator comes with innumerable benefits. Let’s
have a look at them.
Portable PowerIf
you necessitate leaving your house due to any reason, then you can easily place
the solar generator in your car compartment and go. It is portable, and it is
straightforward to move around.
Creates Permanent Power
You
can store power in the machine and use them whenever it is necessary. Many
users of solar generators select to plug in their essential electrical
appliances permanently and thus substantially decrease the monthly electric
bill.
Highest Power Supply in Minimum Time
The
ease of getting a high solar power backup system for your house has now down to
just minutes. Just plug in the appliances, and they are good to use! Run any AC
or DC appliances anytime and anywhere you need.
Multiple Uses
Aside
from the electrical gadgets, a solar power backup generator can also recharge
your phone, run television, computers, printers, and shortwave radios. It can
also operate in the cabin of a forest, a boat, or a tent camping. It also gives
power to the coffeemaker and operates power tools efficiently whenever the user
requires.
The
power outages of the Local or National Electrical Grid due to periodic
interruption or natural disasters seem to occur more often. A privately-owned
solar powered backup generator is not only sensible but also economically
practical. Advanced preparation for emergencies might also save you from an
emergency situation. There is also a debate that demands gas generators are
much more efficient than solar-powered generators. But we would say each of
them has its benefits and drawbacks.
If
you are interested in buying the best quality solar powered generator from a
reputed company, then get in touch with the team of the best company like
Fortuner with advanced technological solutions.
Alexandre Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect in 1839 which explains how electricity can be generated from sunlight.In 1881 Charles Fritts created the first commercial solar panel.With the help of solar panels sunlight is converted to usable solar energy. Solar energy is a unlimited source of energy. India is a country where mostly sun shines. In India we can easily create energy using natural source i.e Sun Light.Solar energy does not produce pollution. Solar energy does not cause any harm to landscape and ozone layer of earth.

How one knows which Inverter/UPS suits best for its requirements. In this article we will try to answer that question for you.When you think of buying a new inverter, it is more important not to pay attention towards marketing activities much, rather you must understand related facts before purchasing an inverter. Selecting the right kind of an inverter/ups is one such important factor. And not just selecting the right inverter-battery system, it is important to select the right solution that solves your need. Here we will try to write some basics that one should keep in mind before purchasing Power Back Up product.1. KNOW YOUR REQUIREMENTBefore Purchasing any power back up or alternate power solution, you must know your exact requirement. To evaluate the power requirement, it is very important for you to know the mentioned things upfront:a). The total load that you want to run on backupb). Total number of hours for which backup is required:If you will know these above mentioned things then it will be much easier for you to choose the best Inverter for your Home. By doing this you can also calculate the exact capacity of Power Back Up Solution. Exact load capacity you can here Calculate .2. Find the VA rating of InverterIn an ideal situation the total Watt value (sum of wattage of all appliances as calculated above) should be the same as VA value. But due to a factor called “Power Factor” (explained in this article: link), it is not the same. For a residential house we assume power factor to be about 0.7 to 0.8 (to be super safe assume 0.7 and to be economical assume 0.8). So VA value is Total load in Watts divided by 0.8.If you are done with this then you can get the best inverter or UPS for your home or for your business. For best solution you may also get in touch with Expert.
In modern Era we are having fast flowing
life and in this fast flowing world we can’t think to move slowly. With the
change in our work style we can’t be dependent on available resource of
electricity. We need back up for electricity too. Power backup and solutions
are created to avoid the troubles occurred due to power cuts. Frequent power
cuts can cause harm to the electronic gadgets. A battery backup provides the
power to the system when main source of energy is not available or voltage
drops to extreme level. The UPS and Inverter both provides backup supply to
electronic items. But there is a difference in their functionality whereas
switching of UPS from the main supply to the battery and Inverter is very
speedy on other side Inverter switching from main supply to battery takes time.

Solar UPS / Inverter – A home or office UPS
or inverter takes the power from the batteries and transfer the same to the
appliances. Solar inverter has two built in chargers i.e solar charger and grid
charger and it delivers adequate power supply.
If you are worried about increasing electricity bills then you should
surely opt for off grid and grid tie system. In case you are living in area,
which is most of, the time is sunny or
you love to save nature from any harmful product then solar UPS or Inverter is
the best.
Online
UPS - Online UPS refers to when power in
line is present and converter is in operational mode. In Online UPS it is not
necessary to have power transfer switch as batteries are always connected to
inverter. When power cut happens the rectifier
just drops out of the circuit and the batteries keep the flow of power steady
and unchanged. When power is back it begings charging the batteries. Online UPS
provides electric firewall between the incoming utility power and sensitive
electronic equipment. Previously the
Online UPS could provide only 10 KW but with increase in technology they can
now provide the supply upto 500KW. The initial cost of UPS may cost higher but
total cost of ownership is usually low due to longer battery life.

batteries. Their functionalty is different from regular inverter. It converts
solar power or renewable energy source into power for your use. Power inverters
includes solar charge controller. Solar Panel can produced 240 V AC electricity
which can be used by property/Household.
Deep Cycle Solar Battery – There are 2 types
of deep cycle solar battery lead acid and lithium. Deep Cycle Batteries used to
store power generated by solar panel. They are essential component in case of
renewable energy system. It is used for backup in case of electrical grid
failure. Deep Cycle Solar Batteries provide 80% capacity or more.
Solar Charge Controller – Solar Charge
Controller is a current device which keeps batteries from overcharging. It
modulates the voltage and current coming from solar panel to the batteries.
Batteries are asses for voltage capacity and exceeding that voltage can lead to
permanent damage to the batteries and loss the functionality over a period of
time. It is necessary to use the Solar Charge Controller for long run of
batteries.

Thomas Elva Edison was the one who invented the electric
light bulb in era of 1879. In this light bulb filament is heated to incandescent
by an electric current. With the change in human lifestyle lights become most
important part of the life. Life is smoother in comparison to ancient time now.
Our productive hours now have increased. They are now not limited to the
availability of sunlight. Now winter working hours are no more a problem. Increased
time help in the Industrial advancement. Workplace safety can be assured now.
It is easier for labour to work according to their potential. Lights had
changed the architect of the house. Instead of using diyas and candles to
lighten up the House or factories now people are using bulb light. This also gives us safety from against fire.
With this change in lifestyle now it time to change the style of lights and
lights technology as well. It is high time now to welcome the new era of Lights. With the change in our lifestyle and usage of
lights now it is a high time to save the earth as well as our pocket.
In 1994 LED lights were invented. LED Lights were
invented by Nick Holonyak and Oleg Losev. A
light-emitting diode is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n
junction diode that emits light when activated. When a suitable voltage is
applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes
within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. LED lights are free of all strident
chemicals and they do not release UV rays. In LED Lights 95% of the energy is
converted into light and only 5% energy is wasted. LED lights are 100%
recyclable. One LED Light is enough for the room as it provides good quality of
light distribution to the room. LED lights have multiple options in terms of
Color and Wattage. You can choose soft-glowing
bulbs or a bright daylight glow.
LED Lights are upto 80% more effiecient in comparison
to earlier bulb and lights. With the help of LED bulb our monthly cost saving
is more than 70% and in comparison to traditional bulbs and lights LED
productivity is also better. Less Power energy will also help us in reduction
of demand from power plant.
In order to promote the LED lights consumption in
India our government had also launched so many schemes so that people may start
using LED lights and would be cherishing the benefits of LED lights.Benefits of LED
