End of Life

Ask installers about take-back and recycling.

A Rough Carbon Calculation

India's grid emission factor is around 0.7 to 0.9 kg of CO2 per kWh, according to published estimates, though it changes year to year. A 3 kW system producing 4,300 units avoids roughly 3 to 4 tonnes of CO2 annually, comparable to the yearly emissions of a small car driven many thousands of kilometres. Use official figures when you need precise numbers.

Local Benefits

  • Less dependence on coal for daytime power.
  • Cleaner local air near power plants over time.
  • Skilled jobs in installation and service.
  • Predictable energy cost for households and businesses.
