Procuring Technology for “ Next Gen Solar Panels “
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 :
Indian envoys and mission officers to be judged on 3Ts / Hindustan Times / 04 Feb 2022
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
Here is 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 , MUL University

[ E ] Source of News
Strongly enhanced and tunable photovoltaic effect in ferroelectric-paraelectric superlattices
