Hardik Vasudev – ???? CHANDIGARH UNIVERSITY
His answer:
“The objective of sustainability was always to meet the present needs along with the preparation for the future, Innovation 3 which could increase the efficiency of solar panels by 15% would require 13 less panels per 100. It means:
=> Reduced mining for minerals like silicon.
=> More feasible and affordable panels.
=> More power per panel/kw in same area.
Our present processes need more efficient, ignoring present and solely focus on future could be fatal for the planet.
Thus, Innovation 3 satisfies all the KPIs of modern sustainability and will also help us to cope up with carbon neutral mission.”
Congrats Hardik, and may you scale greater heights.
