Around 46% of households in India do not have mains electricity, and for many others the supply is unreliable. The use of photovoltaic (PV) solar-home-systems (SHS) can provide reliable power for lighting and low-power appliances, which brings great practical benefits. Smoky, dangerous kerosene light is avoided, people have extended hours for work and study, and more opportunities for leisure and entertainment. Many programmes throughout the world have attempted to improve quality of life using SHS, but often they have not led to long term use and continuing markets. SELCO-India believes that the use of SHS will become widespread only if the system and after-sales service are of high quality, and if people want an SHS enough to pay for it. What they provide is properly designed and installed systems, excellent on-the-spot service and links to organisations which offer appropriate and affordable finance.

My Green Home – My Air-X Wind Turbine Starting Up
The best times for my Air-X wind turbine to capture power from the wind in the summer are just after sunrise 6:00am – 9:00am and mid afternoon 4:00pm – 6:00pm on clear days. The warming and cooling periods of the day create nice steady winds that the Air-X really likes. While summer storm gusty winds create very high instant power readings, the morning and afternoon steady winds produce more useable power in the batteries. With Winter setting in, Dec, 2008, wind production over the last couple of months has really picked up and is much more constant and useable, day and night. Wind energy production has increased from 40-60kw/month in the summer to over 200kw/month in the winter. This has really suplimented my solar which has dropped down as the days are much shorter now.
