Suntuity Renewable Energy India Aimed at promoting Green Energy, Suntuity Renewable Energy India will promote environmentally beneficial solar projects that reduce dependence on electricity and achieve energy independence. It assists in lowering electricity bills, and in achieving a reduced carbon footprint.

 

Commenting on the occasion Ms. Imaan Javan, Director - Suntuity Renewable Energy India said, “At Suntuity, we believe in doing our bit to promote environmental consciousness, energy efficiency and a green eco-system. Our solutions cater to assist reducing carbon footprint and help in a clean way of life. We have deployed many installations across the world, and it’s a great feeling to know that we play a part in moulding young minds towards energy conservation with this project. We owe our existence to Mother Earth and it’s our duty and privilege to save and protect it.  Sustainable and renewable energy is the future.”

Environmental Benefits of Solar

Less Water Usage: Solar panels do not require water to function, while conventional electricity sources use tens of thousands of liters of water every year. The power sector in India mainly utilizes plants for cooling generations, processing/refining fuel and transporting fuel through pipes.

Mitigates Air Pollution: Fossil fuels generate harmful gasses like methane and carbon dioxide which reduce the air quality. Air pollution can hinder our health and well-being by causing anxiety, headaches, pneumonia, heart attacks, asthma, bronchitis, and allergies. Solar energy dramatically reduces carbon emissions in the air you breathe, which improves your overall health.

Slows down climate change: The burning of fossil fuels increases the presence of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere that contributes to enhanced greenhouse effect which is warming our planet faster than before. The consequent increase in global temperature results in the melting of glaciers, rising sea levels, which in turn causes a number of calamities like cyclones, frequent floods, extreme heat and drought. On the other hand, generating electricity from solar panels does not produce any greenhouse gases and therefore helps to slow down climate change.

Lowers consumption of fossil fuels: We have always largely depended on coal, oil and natural gas for our energy needs. Fossil fuels are finite in nature and cannot keep up with the increasing demand of energy and are major contributors for pollution. Solar energy, on the other hand, is abundant and can be endlessly harnessed to meet global energy consumption, reduce energy costs and ensure a stable energy future.

Reduces carbon footprint: The term ‘carbon footprint’ is used to account for the release of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere by a human activity. The major contributor towards carbon footprint is the use of fossil fuels. Alternatively, solar energy is one of the cleanest forms of energy. For every 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of solar energy produced, 0.5 to 1 ton of carbon dioxide is offset.


About Suntuity: They have commissioned a 103kW Solar rooftop project; the largest for any educational institute in South Mumbai at Blossom’s High School, the Rooftop Solar energy system will offset the school’s electricity by approximately 96%, and is expected to payback in 3.5 to 4 years. The modules used are manufactured by Vikram Solar.

The Suntuity Group of Companies develop, finance, build, own and operate the best-in-class residential, commercial and utility-scale renewable energy solutions across the world. This includes utility-scale solar farms, commercial solar arrays, residential solar
arrays (rooftop & ground mount), drones and UAV services for businesses across a multitude of industries. Suntuity develops and deploys commercial-scale solar solutions in the US. The company has installed over 250 MW of solar PV since their formation in 2008. Suntuity installs over 4,000 residential solar systems every year in the US. The Suntuity Group is currently working on delivering micro grid solutions in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean that operate autonomously from the utility grid.
