The maintenance aspect of solar installation is currently a shy topic and not adequately discussed. To make solar energy a success story, we must embrace its nature completely and support it the right way to make it a sustainable solution. Even a simple step such as cleaning the modules the right way could support a bigger idea of an effective clean energy solution.

This article is a summary of a conversation amongst a few members of the South Asian Comms Platform, an informal group of communicators who share experiences in an effort to learn from one another.

This chapter covers the integrated analysis component of the program, which provided a critical resource to help define the optimal research agenda. This work includes assessing the solar resource across the various climate zones in India and a coupling of this to the technology roadmaps in India and the United States. The analysis was coupled with mapping optimal site selections for diverse applications of photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) from village power to national grid.

The chapter discusses the three distinct themes of the largest set of projects in SERIIUS.

The public transport system is the most effective way of reducing the number of vehicles as well as emissions.

ITS can play an enabling role in the implementation of sustainable mobility interventions such as travel demand management, improved accessibility to public transit and safety assurance. In cities like London and Singapore, ITS has been considered as a traffic management and road charging measure to mitigate congestion. ITS initiatives implemented in cities such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Indore, Mysore, etc. primarily include traffic management and public transport operations (passenger information system, fare collection, traffic control centre, vehicle tracking).
