Brownouts in India cause massive growing pollution, worse for environment

Time to cut all fossil fuel subsidy and divert the subsidy to renewable energy. I have been wanting to install solar panels on my house, but all the vendors are quoting prohibitive price, because the domestic solar market is not mature yet. Although there are some incentives to if you were to setup your own plant and feed the grid, but nothing really attractive for the domestic sector.

Time to make the subsidy switch.

I heard you can get subsidy for installing solar panels in your house.

Technically yes, you can get subsidy through UNEP or your respective State Renewable Energy Agencies, but the recovery of the costs is still almost 20-30 years. Battery costs are significant in solar installations these days.

There has to be a electricity buy back program from the govt where you can 'sell' the excess energy during day time to the grid, which eliminates the requirement of expensive batteries. This would reduce the cost recovery period to 5-10 years which is more reasonable in my opinion.
