Dear Shri Harsh Shringlaji
( Foreign Secretary – psfs@mea.gov.in )
Congratulations for setting up KRA ( Key
Result Areas ) for our Ambassadors in various countries (
especially, in relation to “ procuring high technology “ ) , as reported below :
Extract :
Ø
Foreign secretary Harsh Shringla has written to
all mission heads that Indian embassies will
function as a team and all officers will be judged on parameters of enhancement
of trade, procurement
of technology and selling India as a tourism destination.
Ø
On August 6, 2021, PM Modi has addressed the heads of missions virtually with the focus on enhancing Indian
exports, procuring high end technology for India, and promoting India as a global tourism destination.
MY TAKE :
Technologies that can help us solve our myriad
problems, are under development ( or already
available commercially ), all over the World.
It is very likely that some of these news
might escape your attention. In turn, you may not be able to alert our ambassadors to inquire / evaluate
these for possible “ acquisition
“ by India ( by Indian PSUs / Private Sector Firms / Research Labs etc )
As a citizen, I believe it is my duty to bring
to your notice, such technology-related news whenever I come across one
[ A] Background
Current PV technology will give 5 Kwp from 500 sq ft of PV Solar Panels
giving 20 % energy conversion efficiency.
An average urban household needs 20 Kwp – which would need 2000 sq ft
of
panels.
With 10 flats in a building, that would require 20,000
sq ft of Solar Panels /
terrace area.
Just not possible – nor affordable
[ B ] Technology ( brief
description ) :
Solar
Panels ( under development ) which are 1000 times more efficient
than current panels
Just 5
sq ft of
terrace, can produce 50 Kwp (
enough for most Concrete
/ Stone buildings, of which, India could have 50
million , as per
my
estimate )
That
means ( at a conservative estimate ),these 50
million buildings can
generate 250 GW of
Roof-top Solar !
As
against India’s target of generating 45
GW of Roof-top Solar by next
year ( 2022 ), we have so far managed only 5 GW !
[ C ] Country where
developed :
GERMANY
[ D ] Inventor / Developer :
Dr. Akash Bhatnagar,
The Centre for Innovation Competence SiLi-nano®
Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany
