Did you know that Solar power solutions India<\/a> has currently, amount to more than 50 GW of cumulative installed solar capacity, making it a rapidly growing industry in India and one to watch out for!<\/p>\n

Fossil fuels are responsible for more than 80% of global energy requirements (Forbes, June 2020). Our dependence on fossil fuels is resulting in the depletion of natural resources. Every year oil and natural gas consumption reaches a new high and if this continues, very soon we will run out of natural resources like coal. The story has another side where an increase in consumption of fossil fuels is also leading to environmental pollution. Every year, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other greenhouse gas emissions reach a new high. Thus, we are not only depleting resources but also hampering the environment, disrupting the balance in the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Could solar and wind energy be the solution?<\/h3>\n

The answer is well-known to everyone \u2013 stop consuming fossil fuels and look for alternative sources of energy. Any source of energy that is non-fossil fuel dependent is an alternative source of energy; may or may not be renewable. This means that all renewable sources of energy like solar and wind energy<\/a> are alternative sources but not the other way round. Some alternative sources of energy like nuclear energy are not renewable and are not replenished on their own.<\/p>\n
