A Few Facts First a few facts; solar radiation incident on earth’s surface is weak. As such solar photovoltaic cells can at best convert anywhere between 16% to 20% of this incident energy or sunlight into electricity only. This low efficiency coupled with multiple issues like cable loss, temperature variation, […]

As the above table shows the carbon footprint generated by a US citizen is 15 times more than that generated by a Indian citizen. As rise in carbon footprint even through personal/individual activities affects climate change, so efforts should be made to cut down personal carbon footprint. Offsetting the CO2 […]
