Excellent Article in swarajya Magazine on the New Tesla Storage Systems

Please check this article out. The writer deserves kudos for writing the first really good article on solar tech from an Indian perspective. I would add that for large buildings including malls, hotels, software development centers etc, this might be even more economical even at current costs, if you take the problem of power cuts and the cost of using diesel generators into consideration. Let us always keep in mind that US and European calculation of generation and storage system costs consider 3 hours (average) of sunlight a day for 300 days a year. India easily enjoys twice that much sunlight, for 325 days a year. I know that Prime Minister Modi is a solar energy enthusiast. I hope he reads and enjoys this article, before calling for an expansion of his already excellent solar energy plans.
