A Solar Shift!
There is a surprising shift towards solar power plants these days from consumers! The shift is not sudden, though the reasons have presented themselves for a long time. For obvious reasons, price of power purchased through the Distribution Companies such as TANGEDCO in Tamil Nadu or BESCOM in Bangalore, etc., seem to be at least 20% higher than from other sources. Commercial as well as industrial establishments started picking up private power during the massive power shortage years, 2010 to 2015. Post 2015, the power shortage yielded place to power surplus. The result was that while during the power shortage years, consumers wanted power even if it meant paying a higher price. Today, they want to buy power for the simple reason that they are helping them save on the cost of production. With Distribution companies playing truant and making life miserable for most of the private power companies using all the methods under their ambit, consumers had to look up alternate ways. Si
