A STUDY ON ENERGY CONSUMPTION, ENERGY SAVING AND EFFECTIVENESS OF ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCES IN DOMESTIC SECTOR OF INDIA

Abstract

This paper studies the correlation between electricity consumption and consumer income and effectiveness of alternate energy sources in the domestic sector. India is a developing country and the demand for the energy is increasing regularly. Fossil fuels are the main sources of energy in this country. As fossils fuels become more costly and harder to find with several other disadvantages, it is required a shift from fossil fuels to non conventional energy. Solar energy is available in plenty and by using it electricity can be generated. This paper also attempts to use renewable energy at the domestic sector to aid the regular power supply.
