Dear Anthony,
India’s Central Annual Budget was released on 01 Feb 2022
One of the items was :
“ Increase in the subsidy outlay for Solar Panels / Modules manufacture by Rs 19,500 crore ( $ 2.5 Billion ), under Production Linked Incentive ( PLI ) scheme “
In this context, following editorial ( Today’s Business Line ), will interest you :
I believe, your “ Printed Solar Film “ would qualify for this PLI
Isn’t it a “ combined “ Solar Panel with Module ? - in which case, it would be advantageous as compared to separate manufacturing plants for Solar Panels and for Modules
It is quite possible that , there is no “ Specific mention “ of Printed Solar in the budget announcement, due to lack of awareness of existence of your product – and its distinct advantages over conventional PV panels
In this context, you may want to write to our Minister for New and Renewable Energy ( MNRE ), Mr R K Singh , requesting him to issue an official notification to include Printed Solar in the list of products qualifying for PLI
If the Minister concurs and issues such announcement, it will be immediately noticed by Reliance Group ( Mukesh Ambani ) and Adani Group ( Gautam Adani )
At this stage, it is worth recalling that Indian Oil Corporation ( IOC – a 100 % central govt owned Petroleum Products company ), last year entered into a JV ( Joint Venture ) Agreement with Israeli company PHINRGY, for development and manufacture of Aluminum-Air Batteries in India
I believe Ashok Leyland – Mahindra & Mahindra etc have signed up for “ licensing “ of this technology
Regards,
Hemen

Dear Hemen,
Given we are in a live capital raise program, please find attached our investment overview and a macro-overview produced by Rystad Energy.
Your questions are easily addressed but take a bit more substance to the discussion (for example we have a roadmap to continue to develop generations of ink, resulting in increased performance) therefore a simple one liner would not suffice.
We have performance data from pilot installations and have modest expectations of our 1G product which, after detailed discussions with potential clients, has resulted in requests for advanced orders.
Thank you again for your interest.
With kind regards, Anthony

Dear Anthony,
I fully appreciate your concerns
I propose forwarding your response to the following persons, each of whom I know personally :
# Shri Amitabh Kant ( CEO – NITI Aayog / Central Govt’s Policy Planning Body )
# Shri Mukesh Ambani ( Chairman – Reliance Group )
# Shri Gautam Adani ( Chairman - Adani Group )
# Shri Anil Naik ( Chairman – L&T Group ) ( I worked in L&T from 1959 till 1990 )
I will request them to write to you directly, in case of interest .
Regards,
Hemen
PS :
In the article which I mentioned in my blog, at one place it says : Cost of printed solar would be approx. $ 10 per sq meter
Hence, it would cost $ 1000 to cover a terrace of 100 sq meter ( approx. 1100 sq ft / a typical terrace of an Indian concrete building )
How much power would that generate ?
Do you have any comparative cost calculations which I can share with these persons ?
Any actual ( residential – commercial – industrial ) “ Reference Installations “ that they can check out ?

Dear Hemen,
At this stage we are inundated with inbound enquiries and would prefer my email or details of Kardinia Energy was not posted on any blog.
However, if you think specific members of India’s policy makers or industrialists would be interested and you know them personally – you may forward my email to them but on a limited basis, please.
I would kindly request my details are not circulated or in a public forum in any other instance.
With kind regards, Anthony

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your interest in Printed Solar.
I am the CEO of Kardinia Energy, a company established in 2020 to commercialise Printed Solar on a global scale. Professor Dastoor and I are the co-Founders of Kardinia Energy.
We have been developing our company discreetly and without generating any media or PR to this point. However, the level of inbound inquiries we are receiving daily is incredible and appears to be increasing without any prompting from Kardinia Energy. This demand is a testament to the vision of Professor Dastoor over many decades to provide a solution to the global demands for sustainable energy. It truly is wonderful and game-changing technology.
These are very exciting times for our company, and we are humbled by the constant and diverse interest in our technology. We are currently in active dialogue with major corporations across the world (including India) regards both direct investment and regional licensing agreements. In particular, the recent interest from India has been significant.
I’m not entirely sure about the specific nature of your email however it includes a significant number of parties. If there is interest to discuss the opportunities for Printed Solar in India, then please contact either me or David Pearce (cc’d) directly.
Printed Solar will support the desperate need for our planet to change the paradigm of energy generation using low-cost and truly sustainable energy. Our website is (HERE).
On behalf of Professor Dastoor, I must thank you for contacting him and your commitment and endeavour to making our planet a more sustainable place for future generations.
With kind regards, Anthony

Topmost Candidate for PLI ?
Dear Shri R K Singhji
( Minister – MNRE / raj.ksingh@gov.in )
Your Ministry has introduced PLI ( Production Linked Incentive ) Scheme for manufacture of conventional ( Mo-Si ), Solar PV panels / modules
I urge you to :
# Consider extending this scheme to Organic Printed Solar Film, described below
# Invite Prof Paul Dastoor to set up in India, a manufacturing facility with a capacity to produce 100 million Sq
Meter per year
( @10 Sq Meter per concrete / pucca building for 10 million buildings / This facility will
supply all of our 30 million concrete / pucca buildings, with enough film in 3 years )
This has the potential to fulfil the commitment made by our PM Shri Modiji at COP26 in Glasgow
With regards,
Hemen Parekh / hcp@RecruitGuru.com / 20 Jan 2022

Public Debut for Printed Solar
Extract :
The University of Newcastle renewable energy tech - which is,
# ultra light-weight,
# ultra flexible,
# recyclable and
# cheap to manufacture,
will power interactive public lighting in Sydney.
The material, similar in thickness and appearance to a chip packet, is manufactured using conventional printers.
Creator of the organic printed solar material, Physicist Professor Paul Dastoor from the Faculty of Science said his team were excited to take their ‘science to the streets’ in what represented significant progress toward commercial availability of the material.
The government is seeking to bring down carbon emissions over the next 30 years and the community has been very engaged on this subject. Globally, there are many research groups like ours working on sustainable energy technologies and now, via the technology investment roadmap, is our opportunity to ensure we invest in and deliver clever solutions,” said Professor Dastoor.
Director of the University’s Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER), Professor Alan Broadfoot, said the University was committed to bringing the world closer to a sustainable future through its next generation resources engagement priority.
“The printed solar project highlights the transformational research coming out of NIER through valued partnerships with government, industry, and the community in critical areas such as new energy technologies,” said Professor Broadfoot. (alan.broadfoot@newcastle.edu.
This technology will really disrupt and revitalise the contracting print industry.
Printed solar is manufactured on conventional printers – our lab-scale system previously manufactured wine labels.
“Compared to familiar energy technologies, this material has almost a surreal quality - it’s supremely light, hyper-flexible and incredibly thin
Printed solar is cheap to manufacture, at a production cost of less than $10 per square metre and rapid to produce, with commercial scale equipment capable of producing kilometres of material a day.
“No other renewal energy technology can be manufactured as quickly. The low cost and speed at which this technology can be deployed is exciting as we need to find solutions, and quickly,” said Professor Dastoor.
With over 99 per cent of the panels consisting of PET, the material can be recycled - a distinct advantage over traditional silicon panels.
The low-cost, light weight, flexibility and durability of the material are inspiring a range of possible applications including disaster relief and recovery applications; retractable recharging systems for electric vehicles, caravans/camping and the defence industry; floating covers for dams and pools; yacht sails; smart blinds for residential and high-rise buildings; greenhouse covers and more.
Professor Dastoor said his goal was to coat as many surfaces as possible with the material.
Imagine a world where everyone has access to electricity, and where every surface can generate clean, low cost, sustainable energy from the sun. That’s a world I want to live in,” said Professor Dastoor.

Extract :
When painted across a roof, the cells produce enough electricity to power a household.
Dastoor estimates that if the 2.2 million houses in NSW were to use these cells, it would be the equivalent to an entire power station.
