We like it fresh! Then, Why Second hand Energy?
Irrespective of our requirements, we prefer everything to be first-hand. We might use second hand items without the awareness of it being a used one. The dealers who sell energy have played the same trick on us since time immemorial by selling energy in the name of Fossil Fuels(Coal, Gas and Oil). It’s high time for Mr. Sun to start marketing his capabilities.
Fossil fuels are nothing but millions and millions of year old solar energy stored in chemical energy form. The low reserve, environmental hazards and challenging technological requirements of extracting fossil fuels are the major reasons for us to look back to the main producer of energy, Mr. Sun.
Production Capacity
The total energy derived from the products(radiation) delivered by Mr. Sun is 6000 times the actual requirement of all human beings. He was featured by the Department of Energy for the Solar Energy Utilization Study(2006) and it reported that radiation from his manufacturing unit is capable of producing 1,20,000 TW (1 TW=10^9 KW ) of energy were as the present global energy demand is only 25 TW.
Other significant players in the industry, Mr. Hydro who could generate 3 TW after constructing dams across every single river, Mr. Geo who could generate 12 TW after tapping into all possible sources of geothermal sources, Mr. Wind who could generate 4 TW by constructing wind mills across earth, and Mr. Bio who could generate 100 TW by replacing food crops with energy crops were planning for a visit to Mr. Jio Ambani to plan for some new innovations to compete with Mr. Sun. The intervention of Mr. Jio itself is enough to understand the capacity of Mr. Sun’s manufacturing unit.
(The values portrayed are absolute maximum and are unrealistic.)
How to be a customer of Mr.Sun?
It takes 8 minutes and 17 seconds to deliver the product(radiation) to earth. If we can extract complete energy from the radiation for 30 minutes, we can stay idle for one full year as it will be more than our total demand. Global radiation is a mixture of direct, diffused and reflected rays. Customer’s job is to harness the maximum possible energy from the direct radiations received on earth’s surface. With the evolution of technology, we have different types of solar panels namely Mono-crystalline, Poly-crystalline, Amorphous, CdTe, CIS/CIGS which helps in unpacking and utilising the products delivered.
Environmental Perspective
1 Gigawatt Power = 33 Coal Powered Stations
I think there is no further explanation needed other than the above equation. Fossil fuels accounts for 92% power generation globally out of which coal is one among the major sources. The harmful pollutants produced from an uncontrolled typical coal plant includes 114 pounds of lead, 4 pounds of cadmium, 720 tons of carbon monoxide, 220 tons of hydrocarbons, 225 pounds of arsenic and a million cancer patients.
Will Mr. Sun stop manufacturing energy?
Not likely anytime soon. Mr. Sun has delivered his product for many million years and will continue to do so for another 4.5 billion years. We had intermediate dealers who had delivered his product in different forms under different names. But with the advent of Solar Panels, it’s time for the big sale of fresh energy directly from the manufacturer.
Mr. Sun has created a lot of opportunities for us. The economics of solar power is improving and it is a far more affordable source than earlier. Solar power is disrupting and will continue to disrupt the economy for quite some time. Harness the disruption and get hold of the opportunities.
