In California, govt provides tax rebate on solar panels, subsidized energy saver appliances and rebate to replace old appliances to energy saver appliances.
House solar panels are producing excess energy which is sent back to common poll and California state buy excess electricity.
Initially governments kept a budget of 2% to payback people who are producing excess electricity through solar panel. Within two year, California houses are producing more than allocated budget limit of buy back excess energy. This year California state is going to raise buy back electricity limit to 4%.
In California there is a trend to built energy saver houses where roof s are actually solar panels. Recently, Microsoft office had made changes in Silicon Valley office, they had installed solar panels on roof and now producing 40% of office need.
My house, half roof is covered with solar panels. Every bulb and appliances are energy saver. After replacing to energy saver, my electricity bill is now 65% less.
In India, there is excess of Sun and if govt start providing subsidy or incentive, it can change energy dependence from external resources.
In place of depending on China or Middle East, India should explore existing resources and educate people.
