Well done, Tata Power Solar! Now, for a Similar Project in India . . .

Solar Thermal Magazine has this announcement of a very significant project by Tata Power Solar and British Gas for Toyota in the UK. I know I've made this point several million times before, but it needs to be reinforced - Toyota are no fools, and they know exactly how to offer great cars at reasonable prices. This means that they are not, quite, a company that is likely to invest hugely in solar power if it would mean adding to the cost of manufacturing their cars, and eventually get passed on to consumers who might, well end up looking at better priced options form others. Also, a point to note - if solar power is viable in always dark and overcast Britain, guess how much more viable it would be in ever bright and sunny India? What next, Tata? A similar solar roof at one of your automobile plants? That might be a great idea! Anyone interested is welcome to check out Tata Power Solar's website. .
