Ayyo, ask me about my students and I can talk for hours, but solar panels on our rented flat? Not possible! For owners, the subsidy might bring a 3 kW system to around Rs. 1.5 lakh, they say the payback is 5 years. But in our rainy, cloudy northeast? With all that dust on leaves and grey skies? Actual generation must be much less, so payback stretches out chaala.
My reality is saving every rupee for college fees, so even that subsidised lakh is a mountain. I see the neighbours' panels sitting dull under the haze for days.
