CHENNAI: Even as the country battles a huge power crisis and people find it difficult to cope with inflated electricity bills, 61-year-old S Dhamodharan is untethered. Reason: He has been making full use of the scorching sun into generating enough electricity to run his tea stall.
“I haven’t spent a single rupee on electricity bill in the last six months after I set up these solar panels,” he says, pointing to the two panels in front of his stall inside the Mahindra Tech Park in Chengalpattu.
