wat a scam 😅😅😅
12 bucks
I have received my subsidies with in 15 days
One imp question remains open is what after 5yrs. And sustainable plan for the same..
I am unsubscribing your channel because you have mentioned the name of Modi he is a most lier and cheater
Thank you THINK SCHOOL you covered all points about Solar.
I am saving this podcast for future reference and for giving gyan to others.
Brilliant! That is the kind of IITian we all can be proud of. Also, the host is very good, asks the right questions. Wish you both all the success.
Valuable information. Bravo!!!
Thanks a lot for an amazing video!!Since you are tracking performance real-time, I was wondering, whether it would be a good idea to add a robotic arm to clean the panel and do the power boost that would get triggered, say, when the performance declines by 10%
hume electricity milti hai 9 rs per unit aur sarkar hame deti 1.5 se 2 per unit wah
From Assam: The rate of electricity has increased from the last 4-5 months. For a 2 BHK room, with major appliances is just a motor, the monthly expense goes upto 2000. That's insane
Shreya Mishra The Visionary founder of Solar company Install of " Roof Top solar panels " Solar energy in India Gets 300 days Govt subsidy scheme like PM Suryaghar Mufti Yojana subsidiary for solar panel system The Annual maintenance & 5 Years warranty & Solar energy business investment Electricity bill costs The Company Sola Square Sales network customer service Roof Top solar system Annual maintenance Cleaning solar panels tough India faces Electricity Grid Problem Think School 🏫 Business Podcast discussion with Shreya Mishra Solar company founder The Problem & Business of solar power Clean & Green energy solar panel Warranty customer friendly service The Business strategy Roof Top solar panel System for homes & Residental homes The problem face issues " Net Metring system " The discussion clearly explained of Solar power Real Time data Business Visionary Solar Gold mine
Promising for India
बिजली बिल जीरो करना है तो बिजली विभाग खत्म कर देना चाहिए उसे बेच क्यों रहे है जाते जाते किसी का फायदा हो जाए या सबका😂😂😂thats business in india
How many panels have to be put to generate 700 units of power per month and what is the volume of investment for the same?
Great! All the Best to Solar Square. May you become what Tata became for Cars, Reliance for Mobiles & Jio for Data. However that requires simplicity and involvement of people.
All good.! Please add a point that Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) will charge you fee for using the line(grid). Meaning even though we are consuming less than that of we produce in solar, we have to anyway pay the minimum amount to the Government.
This means government is pushing you to go with Battery powered solar in home.
What nonsense this lady is talking! Solar revolution in Germany started not 5 years ago but 30 years ago, they practically invented the rooftop solar market. Electricity prices increased in Germany not because every one started using electricity to heat but Gas fired power plants determine the marginal cost of electricity as gas prices increased due to self imposed sanctions of gas on Russia. Plus there are a host of other factors as well. All the facts quoted are not accurate.
Major problem is the thieves can easily steal solar panels. 3lakh gone
I am from Banswara, Rajasthan. Can I apply through Solar Square ?
I have slanting roof which is concrete , covered with tiles and it is a two storied building. I wonder how a panel can be installed without digging into the tiles/concrete . (i really don't like to dig on the concrete to install poles as tampering with roof concrete may cause seepage during monsoon). Also , maintenance is not easy and always require professionals to climb up such heights. wonder if there is any suggestions from users.
Hello solar is a very great but when you do the net meter the local electricity supplies pays very less money and if you do not get subsidy you’ll get a little extra money from the net meeting and you should mention that in your episode
Wireless power transmission is possible but the power companies do not want it to happen.
I am PG student of Renewable energy and grid interface, thanx for this podcast 😊
In india, most of the states get 200 units of free electricity, so most people do not use solar schemes
We have to encourage these companies as people like her. They are the new India who will make India a 50 Trillion company very soon
27:45 govt won't allow people to earn too much money from roof top solar because if they do that then we have to bring a law which is in europe. 'right to own sun shine' in usa you can not build a tall building near a society in close area because that building will take away right to own solar energy. in india nobody is talking about this issue.
lack of sun light creates health issues as well.
another reason why they won't allow us to produce more elecetricity is because they want energy producers like adani solar, tata solar to make money.
Mumbai main flat owner apne liye solar panel laga sakta hai kya
But people will use AC unabashedly too much green house …..we should have non concrete sustainable houses , grow more tree , rainwater harvesting etc, sustainable indust, less plastics
Do you have a centre at Coimbatore
Do you suggest for hill station in Nilgiris.
Solar will soon become a Category in India – is an incredible intelligent, an ambitious and confident statement she made. How can become a sales partner for a big neighborhood in Chennai.
wow what a blast of information, really impressed and many thanks for inputs.
Solar Power: A Path to Energy Independence for India
Value Chain Dynamics
Stages: Polysilicon → Ingot → Wafer → Cell → Panel → System (group of panels).
Current Control:
China's Dominance:
Controls 90% of the value chain up to the wafer stage.
Covers over 80% of the downstream chain (cells, panels, systems).
India’s Presence:
OEMs: Players like Waree, Tata, and Adani operate in cell and wafer production.
Installation & Services: Dominated by companies like Solar Square and other unorganized players.
Inverters: Completely imported from China and white-labeled in India.
Cost Competitiveness
Current Scenario:
Solar panel costs in India are 2x higher than in China due to China's overcapacity and economies of scale.
Excess Chinese supply is expected to stabilize global prices soon.
Return on Investment (ROI):
Commercial Users: 1-year ROI due to high electricity tariffs and no subsidies.
Residential Users: 3–5 years ROI.
Post-ROI, solar systems can deliver free energy for 20 years with regular maintenance (avoiding dust buildup, bird droppings, and sticky soil that can cause hotspots).
India's Advantage & Leadership
Natural Advantage: Over 250 days of sunlight annually, making India ideal for solar energy.
Global Leadership: India spearheads the International Solar Alliance (ISA) to promote solar energy adoption worldwide.
Net Metering & Grid Challenges
Net Metering System:
Excess power generated during the day is sold to the Discom grid.
Consumers draw power from the grid at night, essentially using the grid as a virtual battery.
Grid Modernization Needs:
Existing grids, designed 50 years ago, are struggling with today’s demands driven by appliances, IT systems, and EVs.
Upgrading grid infrastructure is expensive and complex. Most Discoms globally are non-profitable.
Future Direction: Decentralized Power Generation
The solution lies in decentralized solar power plants, with panels installed at every home or business. This minimizes dependency on centralized grids, reduces transmission losses, and ensures resilience in energy supply.
Poor mindset peoples expect freebies from government.
