Question

If an Anganwadi participating in the Angan Jyothi scheme were to install a rooftop solar system (part of the 'Soura' project), its primary use of electric cooking would contribute to:

• A. Reduced reliance on the state electricity board for all power needs.
• B. A significant increase in the Anganwadi's electricity bill due to system maintenance.
• C. The potential for selling surplus solar power back to the grid at a premium rate.
• D. Increased self-consumption of the solar power generated.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Increased self-consumption of the solar power generated.

• Electric cooking is a high-load, daytime activity. If the Anganwadi has a rooftop solar system (often supported by the KSEB's Soura project), running the induction stoves during the day would directly utilize the solar energy being generated, thereby increasing the self-consumption of the clean energy and maximizing the economic benefit of the solar installation.
