My village - P.Pudupatti, Tamilnadu, India has solar street lights. But limited in number because of the high capital cost.

Answer 4

Now - a - days second generation solar cells are being used.Though they are cost effective their efficiency is less.And there may be lack of will and readiness in the policy makers and policy implementers as well as consciousness among the common people.

The people should be made aware of the energy source and the need of the use of the energy should be propagated to the public,so there could be a revolution among them.
