Official cautions against fake solar power items
People should be careful while buying solar power products as fake items have flooded the market. Buyers should ensure that the solar modules (or panels), home lights, lanterns, solar fans and the batteries they are paying for are worth the money as many people are being duped with low quality products. This was stated by Tarun Kapoor, joint secretary of the Union ministry of new and renewable energy, at the inauguration of a workshop on ‘Renewable energy and conservation of energy’ here on Thursday. According to him, if high quality solar power goods are used, every house in every village would have at least two lights in the next five to seven years. “While buying a solar module, customers should check its efficiency rate. Products with 19% efficiency are available in the market. However, items with 15-17% efficiency are common and available at reasonable rate,” said Kapoor.
