Great work by the Government.
Government should provide more subsidy (than the exixting one) on solar power installations for houses and offices.Then the solar power plan will be effective and our INDIA will become more 'GREEN'.

I know solar is very important. Its nice.
As of now, solar power and solar related devices are expensive. But it may be reduced if most of the people start using it. Let us see the future of solar power.
