Rooftop Solar Power Generation: An Opportunity to Reduce Greenhouse Gas
Solar energy is being promoted in India as one of the main components of renewable energy. The country receives good solar radiation of 4–7 kWh m −2 day −1 for over 300 days a year. Solar energy has emerged as a potential green alternative to address emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and the resultant climate change issues by reducing reliance on
CARBON FOOTPRINT OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION
The carbon footprint of fossil fuelled power plants is dominated by emissions during their operation. Indirect emissions during other life cycle phases such as raw material extraction and plant construction are relatively minor. Coal burning power systems have the largest carbon footprint of all the electricity generation systems analysed here.
Integrating solar and wind energy into the electricity grid for
When solar resources are scarce, wind power can supplement solar power generation by generating electricity. Solar power generation frequently coincides with periods of peak demand. This combination lessens the load on conventional power generation sources and aids in grid balancing [7].
