Global Warming
Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s near- Surface air and oceans and its continuation.This is been caused by increasing concentration of green house gases
Pollution
Pollution is the excessive increase in contaminants into the natural environment. The excessive burning of coal, wood , uncontrolled emission from industrial revolution etc are direct causes of pollution
City Smog
Urban Smog is a result of the chemical reaction of automotive , industrial emission involving volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxide, sunlight etc
Green House Effect
Green House Effect is the increase in atmospheric temperature resulting from trapped infrared radiation that are re emitted from earth surface
The adverse Impact of man made disasters are staring at us in various forms. Let us resolve to reduce its impact on the coming generations!
Renewable Energy
Energy from renewable resources which are naturally replenished such as sunlight, wind, tide, waves etc. Renewable energy now contribute about 20% of human energy consumption
Energy Efficiency
Simply put it is efficient use of energy. It is a key pillar for sustainable development. Reducing energy losses directly reduce costs, pollution and increase energy security.
Electric Vehicles
These vehicles run on electricity with nil emission. There is resurgence of electric vehicles and serious efforts to improve its performance all over the world
Green Buildings
These use less water, optimize energy efficiency, conserve natural resources, generate less waste and provide healthier spaces for occupants

K K Yadhunath
This thought-provoking book is about the use of solar energy at our home. It is about a journey to combat climate change through mitigation and adaption. The book details basic principles, usage, and current development and growth of solar energy in India and around the world, with add-on chapters about other renewables, climate change, energy efficiency, green buildings,
Let us do our bit to protect this wonderful ecosystem which encompass over 70% of world's fresh water
Since early twenthieth century, baring few exeptions, the glaciers around the world have retreated at unprecedented rates. This is directly attributed to the increase in pollution levels and global warming.

Climate Change
A Solar Home System consists of
- Solar Energy Generator/ Collector
- Generated energy Storage
- Controls for storage and distribution
- Mounting/ Safety accessories
A Solar AC system is scalable and can support any amount of load. Constraint will only will be the spcae for mounting panels and price. It is recommended to connect only energy efficient loads( lights & appliances) to this Photovoltaic system.
Climate Change is a reality now and this need to be addressed with utmost urgency. Two pronged strategies …………
- Climate Change Mitigation
- Climate Change Adaption

Energy Efficiency
Other Renewables
A sustainable society can only be build through sustainable development.The basic principle of sustainable development is that natural resources can be exploited only to the level that provides their reproduction.
The two two imoprtant aspect of energy efficiency are
- Using highly energy efficient device/ equipment
- Running a device/ equipment to its best possible efficiency
Wind Turbines area great resource to generate energy in remote locations, such as mountian communities and remote countryside. Wind turbines can be a range of different sizes in order to support varying population levels.
