Can Solar Energy save the Ganga?

Cost of daytime solar power is Rs 3 per unit. However, the demand of electricity is more in morning and evening, known as u201cpeakingu201d power. The daytime electricity can be used to pump water from a lower- to a higher reservoir during the day. The water can be released from the higher- to the lower reservoir during peaking time to convert daytime power into peaking power. The cost of solar power converted into peaking power is less than Rs 4 per unit. This is much cheaper that the cost of Rs 8 per unit from hydropower. Therefore we must dismantle all hydroelectric projects and install solar plus pumps storage projects. That will provide cheap electricity and also save our rivers. for more info please visit https://gangatoday.com/articles/136-solar_energy_should_be_preferred_over_hydropower_projects.html
