So is building up scale the only way to go
for Solar? (Or for any renewable energy)
We think Decentralisation is a good option too!

Banking in Rural Areas Rural India offers great business
opportunity: 720 million people in 630,000 villages
that contribute to over 50% of Indias
total gross domestic product (GDP).
Building and running branches is a
huge issue. ATMs are the representatives of the
banks in urban areas; Easy &
Accessible
But unreliable electricity is a huge
issue.
So is the complexity of usage of
ATMs

The Pay As You Go Model Prepaid heralded the mobile revolution in
India
Progressive Purchase
The consumer makes a series of payments,
each of which unlocks the solar home system
for a paid amount of energy consumption
(Kwh). Once the prepaid consumption is exhausted,
the solar home system is temporarily disabled
until another payment is made.
Once the consumer has fully paid the totalpurchase price of the product, full
functionality is restored and the product is
permanently unlocked.

The Model The typical payback period is three to five years.
At that point, the system is unlocked and the consumer uses theelectricity as produced for the expected 10-year lifetime of the
product.
The system includes a microcontroller and user interface that uses
cloud-based software that ensures that power goes to the homeonly when it is prepaid.

A Possible Solution
Solar Pumps
Almost Zero Maintenance Power when you need it
The problem with Solar Pumps
EXPENSIVE!
But only initially
Over a lifetime, the pumps are
much more cost effective bothfor the farmer and the Govt.
Political issues about Free
Power.

The innovations we are working on
Technology
Reducing the size of the pump byincreasing efficiency ( from 55% to 95%)
Star Delta Connectors to change phases
Demand Side
Efficient irrigation techniques
Free Power is not Free You are digging
deeper every year and increasing the pump
capacity.
Finance Capital & Interest Subsidy for clean energy
Pre-paid models being explored
CDM support?
