India must build satellite to harness solar energy from space, former DRDO chief Sivathanu Pillai says
CHENNAI: India should work with friendly nations to build a solar power satellite and place it in orbit to harness solar power as the country is running out of conventional sources like coal, says former chief of DRDO A Sivathanu Pillai.
“One nation cannot do this. So, India should work with friendly nations, which have equal interest, to develop a technology to harness the solar energy from space for sustainable growth,” Pillai told TOI on the sideline of the TAN-ENERGY Summit 2019 here on Friday. The summit was organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).
