Lots of dealers of solar geysers in Ludhiana alone.

My friend was a dealer in solar panels. He said a person has to invest 3-5 lakh rupees to get 3-5 mega watts solar panel system installed and it will take around 4 years to get even. People don't want to make that initial investment.

I don't hv much knowledge about wind energy potential in punjab but it sounds a good idea too.

If that is the case and the Punjab govt buys excess solar power for the power grid then isn't it possible for NRP (yes, no- resident Punjabis, not no-resident Indians!) to invest 3-5 lakh rupees which is roughly £3,000-5,000 and within the financial means of a NRP family to install solar cells on top of the roofs of their mostly locked up properties and then they would get their money back say within a year, because whereas for a resident Punjabi they would be using much the power supplied by the solar cells for their own electricity needs but the NRPs as they do not reside in their houses in the village would be selling over 90% of the power generated into the Punjab power grid. Surely, for the Punjab govt paying NRPs for the solar power generated through such eco-friendly means rather to generate the same power burning expensive coal imported from outside the state for coal fired power stations? This stop Punjab taxpayers money from being sent to other states and that money will be paid to Punjabis who will then invest it in the state leading to an economic boom in the state and a increase in the states GDP. 

For the more benevolent NRPs after they had got their initial investment back after the first year they could donate the subsequent years of the money from the power sold to the village so that a fund could then me created to improve and modernise the infrastructure of the village. An agreement could be made whereby the village would agree to supply a electrician from the village who would be responsible for maintaining the solar cells. This money could also be used to fund initiatives such as eco farming, gobar gas plants etc. It seems to be a win-win situation for all

Considering that many Punjab villages have over 50 to 100 households of NRP, then if most of them take part in this scheme then the fund could easily turn the village into mostly eco-village over a decade or so. Punjab could have 24/7 power and the access to 24/7 would allow for innovation and entrepreneurship on a large scale. If the logistics of using 50-100 separate rooftops is unfeasible then the village community could donate a few acres for a 'solar farm' where all these solar cells installed by NRPs could be located in one place and the above could all be done more easily.

How much of the surrounding area from the centre of 'eco village' would have to be free from these to minimise 'cross-contamination' ?   Really, there being so many 'jatts' on this forum, someone should have an idea...

Good point. Do we even know to what extent contamination has taken place? Have any thorough studies taken place?

Are the majority of farmers expecting to carry on with the pesticide/fertiliser heavy techniques indefinitely?

Excellent ideas!

The solar panels available in the market come with 25 years guarantee.

Plus lots of work and research is being done on solar panels to make them more efficient and less expensive.

Apart from solar panels, solar geysers and solar inverters r also getting popular.

Just to clarify things

If you hv a solar farm, you can sell solar power to govt. and make money.

Due to corruption in the govt. , it's not signing many agreements with solar farms, but if good govt. comes, we can hv solar farms all over punjab.

If u install 3KW(sorry I wrote mega watts earlier) solar panel on the roof top of ur house, it will cost around 2 lakh rupees.

If u generated 12 units a day and used 15 units from govt. grid, govt.  will bill u for only 3 units.

If u used 12 units from govt., u will hv zero bill.

If u used 10 units from govt, govt. Won't pay u for the 2 units u gave to govt.

Basically, solar farms can solve all electricity problems of punjab if an eemandaar govt. comes.

Won’t the haze/smog/paddy burning and industrial pollution etc makes the solar ineffective in major cities such as Ludhiana?

    • This is where the vichola needs to get involved, and family!
    • Hi All, I havent been on this forum for a while but I thought id give it a try again as it helped me through some rough times earlier in my life. I wanted to seek for guidance on sikhi and marriage ... I noticed a post earlier on sanjog etc. and it got me thinking about my own life and marriage. For context, I have been married 3 years and things are not working out. When we met, I looked in to sanjog alot and it felt like it was written. However, as these years have gone by its become apparent that we no longer align with each other and our marriage is struggling. We dont seem to understand each other and things have fallen apart. We are at a stage now where separation/divorce is looking like the best option. Neither of us are happy and whilst we have tried to work things through in many different ways, after 3 years we have drifted away. What are the sikh views on this? is it written if we decide that we no longer serve each other? or is that a sin and should I continue to work at it? my issue at the moment is that it is draining me. I feel withdrawn from everything due to things going on between us including sikhi and going to the gurdwara.  Breaks my heart to even be writing this but I do think if we are both not happy and cant see a way of being happy then what is the point in continuing? Or should I be continuing and is it paap if we dont honour our laavan? if that is the case, what does sikhi say about marriage? how do I continue knowing everyday I feel the way I do?   Thanks

I'm not sure if this could be classed as an experience but last week (or 2 weeks ago), I felt my saliva to be sweet however I lost it after a week. I don't really regret it though, if I lost it then it's Hukam Another point, I feel my concentration to be very good for a while, I can focus on the void for a longer period of time than I could before. I also feel a lot more Anand, it's all Guru di kirpa
