IIT-Kharagpur on Thursday said 44,000 micro solar domes will be provided to poor households in rural areas of ten states under a project to provide clean energy at an affordable price.
Poor families are often unable to afford the grid- connected electricity while others may find disruption of power supply due to natural disasters, according to a statement from IIT-KGP.
The ‘micro solar dome’ project, being implemented in collaboration with the NB Institute of Rural Technology, could provide a solution to the problem, it said.
