Clearing the Air on Solar Power
In rural India, solar power is growing—but so are the myths! At Bharatkiran, we hear questions like “Does it really work?” or “Isn’t it too costly?” under our Rural Solar Solutions category. Let’s bust these myths with facts—simple, clear, and straight for village life.
Myth 1: Solar Only Works When the Sun Shines
Truth: Solar power works day or night! Panels catch sunlight, but batteries store it—like filling a water tank for later. Charge a solar hub or lantern during the day, and it powers your home after sunset.
Rural Fact: Even on cloudy days, panels grab enough light to charge small devices—perfect for monsoon!
Myth 2: Solar Power Is Too Expensive
Truth: Solar is cheaper than ever! Small solar hubs or lanterns start low—less than a month’s kerosene cost. No fuel, no bills—just sunlight. Over time, it saves more than diesel or candles.
Rural Fact: A basic solar charger can power phones and lights for years—way less than generator repairs!
Myth 3: Solar Panels Break Easily
Truth: Solar gear is tough—built for villages! Panels and chargers handle dust, rain, and heat. Many come with warranties—some last 10+ years with no fuss.
Rural Fact: Portable solar hubs are light but strong—drop them in the field, they still work!
Myth 4: Solar Can’t Power Much
Truth: Solar powers more than you think! Small hubs charge phones, fans, and lights at once. Bigger setups run TVs or pumps—start small, grow big.
Rural Fact: A single solar lantern can light a room for hours—no more dark nights!
