Amidst high power bills, people turning to solar energy

With electricity tariff going through the roof, more and more people, especially those from the middle class, were looking for alternatives. Their only option at the moment remains solar energy. However, this system has its own problem. Due to low local production of solar panels, installation of this system has become costly as its components have to be imported. Therefore, instead of installing the entire solar panel system, people are opting for fans and room coolers run on solar panels to get relief from inflated electricity bills. The high demand of these solar panels has led to an increase in their prices, which range from Rs4,000 to Rs10,000. Air coolers powered by solar energy are effective to keep indoor spaces cool during hot weather. These types of air coolers work on solar panels to generate electricity which powers the fan and pump system that circulates air and water throughout the unit.
