    Now, we should think about that type of technology which are not harmful for our environment & also run in properly.
  • The learning is very informative,it outlines how efficient solar power is , its cheap and affordable that's the reason for it's growth because it can be acquired by the poor community too. Just a small solar 1m2 can produce around 100-200w.
