Running on sunshine


A solar-powered ferry boat, charging station and water generator. Three companies providing renewable alternatives that go beyond household electricity

With great power comes… pesky electricity bills. But if you are opting to go renewable, especially solar, you are in luck. With start-ups like PuREnergy, 8minutenergy, and Oorjan bringing you rooftop solutions for both the home and commercial establishments, the solar power market has been on a rise over the last couple of years. In June this year, Anheuser-Busch InBev, one of the world’s biggest breweries, went fully solar-powered in partnership with energy provider Amp at its Mysore brewery. Even the government’s gotten into the act — Diu became India’s first and only union territory to go 100% solar in April. But the usage of solar power doesn’t end at home. Entrepreneurs are making the sunshine last, giving you several options to go green even after you step out of your house. A look at three companies that give us solar solutions that go beyond just household electricity.
