Rural electrification using solar power-A model for developing country

SUN assumes different roles, from the center of solar system to a deity as per Hindu mythology and here as provider of electricity. This model of rooftop solar panel based electricity generation provides a self-sustainable system for each household. Each household is thus independent of the main electricity grid and is self-sufficient in its energy needs. In rural areas of developing nations where significant population are devoid of electricity owing to location constraints and shortage of power sources, the SUN acts as a deity for their power needs. By adopting this model, empowerment at each village level independent of governmental support can be achieved leading to sustainable economic and social development.
