Solar powered car - The cleanest form of transport
The system powers my electric car which consumes around 4-5 units when charged from a 40% to 100% SOC.
Also about 10 more units of energy per day is sent to my home.  I plan to take advantage of the net metering scheme to send excess power to the grid.
You can read the MSEB Net Metering Policy here.

Cost and Installation
The total cost including installation was around Rs 8 Lakhs in October 2015.
Do contact Surya Renewables, Pune @ 9850444185 for roof-top Solar PV power systems installation.
