Work begins at largest grid-connected solar plant in WB - The foundation of country's first grid-connected photovoltaic solar power plant of two megawatt, was laid today in West Bengal's Burdwan district.
We read from Solar Energy news that cheaper tech are available at $1/Wp amd at cost US$0.05/kWh why is India stuck with high cost Solar Energy. Please see http://www.nanosolar.com/blog3/ http://www.popsci.com/popsci/flat/bown/2007/green/green_animation.html http://www.popsci.com/popsci/flat/bown/2007/green/item_59.html http://www.popsci.com/popsci/flat/bown/2007/image_116.html The Solar cell Energy cost is now said to be just $0.05/kWh, http://www.sunrgi.com/index.html in US The Paris-based International Energy Agency issued a thick report recently saying that would require policies tough enough to push the price of a permit to emit a ton of CO2 up to $200. (Today, prices are roughly $40 in Europe,
What about CDM rebates
Why not seek carbon credits under the CDM. (The Clean Development Mechanism) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDM
Estimated revenue from 1.0MW Solar power plant, with an annual emission reduction of about 7,000t CO2 eq, would be, about US $210,000 per year at the rate of US$ 30 per tCO2, the present rate in UK. This rate could soon increase to $200 per ton CO2 as per the forecast. Please see slide #7 http://www.iea.org/Textbase/techno/etp/ETP_2008.pdf
