I went to the recent Green Summit 2015, the Renewable Energy Exhibition held in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. This expo was held between April 23 - 25, 2015 in White Orchid Convention Center, Bangaluru. In this post, I'll summarize some interesting highlights (renewable energy products/services) I found there. This is not comprehensive, but only a partial listing. I'll do detailed blog posts on some of these products in the coming days.
The first thing that attracted me as soon as I entered the exhibition was the Solar Car. Yes, an electric car with embedded solar panels on the top! This was exhibited by Manipal Institute and Tata Power Solar. Unfortunately, this car is a prototype that is meant to participate in solar racing competitions and not a commercial one that people can buy. Let's hope we'll be able to buy such cars in the future. Good first step taken by two Indian organizations.
- I met with the officials of Su-Kam, who have come out with a number of interesting products for the renewable energy market. Some of them include: Solar inverter conversion unit, remote gateway for monitoring, MPPT Solar PCU, a system that helps compare efficiency, etc.
- Right next to them was SOLATUBE, the company that enables customers to light up their premises during the day time using the natural light available outside.
- Then there was clickpower.in, a portal that connects producers and consumers of green power and enables power purchase transactions for open access customers.
- A Hybrid Solar/Wind generator was exhibited by Wind Stream.
- Anu Solar had exhibited their Solar Lighting system that can be controlled via a remote control.
- Then I saw the new Solar Water Heater displayed by Bosch: BLUTHERM. This model has a 100 L capacity and they have done a number of enhancements like screwless design, thinner bezel, solar heat retaining glass, etc.
- I found small scale biogas plants exhibited by synod.in and large-scale biogas plants exhibited by enerzea.com.
- UNIPAR had displayed their Hybrid Solar Inverter that retains power for PC during power cuts (without restarting) as it has a 6ms response time compared to 20ms response time, normally.
- Kamal Solar had displayed their solar water heaters.
- kenandbambooz.com had displayed their bamboo construction capabilities.
- BHEL, the Govt. enterprise, had exhibited their solar and renewable energy R&D capabilities.
- AIRIER NATURA had displayed their biomass gassification burner and biomass pellets.
- insolare.com had displayed their Wisys smart street and office lighting solutions.
