The literary challenges facing Engineering are the following questions that occupy the masses.

Is solar energy economical?

Is it conveniently available?

Can it be clean?

Our Research & Development-dept. went a length to compare the different expert views. Solar energy makes all the economic sense and it’s conveniently applicable and can be upgraded almost immediately, generally just a phone call away by today’s industry standards.

Asking a ‘beer brewing home based unit’ placed remotely and virtually middle of nowhere, where the supply either comes from a grid that is 85 away miles or from another grid which is 205 miles away. And by the time it goes through the National Grid and then to anyone of the ‘Big Supply’ companies and then to the house, the daytime cost would have rose up to about $24.92 plus the taxes it would cost the house about $31.06 approximately, whereas the cost of generating your own electricity would stand at about $6.21.

Installing 4kW of solar energy system in the garden will make an excellent garden shed that would cost $6211.02 with a $1242.20 for the inverter should give you 4,000kWh per year for 30 years and good quality solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels even after 30 odd years can keep generating 90% of their original output.

Remunerating the output cost by dividing it to a lifetime gives the ‘brewing house’ electricity at $6.21/kWh, a saving of $24.84/kWh without any subsidy.

You can however chose to get it all financed through different means available in the market.

There is an argument that tries to make a point by confusing solar farms using up the farmland which should be growing food. Whereas in actuality we have found that solar farm don’t necessarily have to be on agricultural land and if it inevitable it would could blend well with cattle farms sheep and Solar get along quite well, the sheep use the panels for shelter and keep the grass tidy. The grass has better growth because there is less wind and dew also the positioning of the panels ensures sufficient sunshine.

If you have space and can generate solar Photovoltaic electricity than why not. Farms have the machinery that should switch to electricity using interchangeable battery packs. Electric cars have neither the range nor the space requiring high-energy density batteries. Now a days forklift trucks can go electric in order to reduce emissions while construction and other projects, so no reason why tractors cannot.

We also need to look at using solar Photovoltaic (PV) generated DC. Which can, not only cut the cost of inverters but also will provide houses and SMEs a direct source for the almost all gadgets that run on 12V or 24V DC. The Surplus electricity can be stored during daytime by using cheap lead acid batteries endorsed by the auto mobile industry.

Plus there is virtually no reason why all domestic lights should not be switched to solar PV and further save a 50% on the cost of life Style.

Home produced Solar Photovoltaic (PV) DC should become the norm and the grid should be the backup and providing power for heavier appliances.We strongly recommend that we should make a serious effort towards moving on to Solar PV DC for the right reasons. For better economy, better life, better future and let’s leave a better planet for our kids.
