Solar Shakti: Greenpeace India's Solar Powered House On Wheels

Greenpeace India embarked upon a unique journey. In a drive to create awareness about the benefits of rooftop solar in the Capital, the organization flagged off Solar Comet --a unique house on wheels with solar panels fitted on the roof, that demonstrates how solar power can easily run an entire household.

Lit up with power saving led bulbs, the Solar Comet houses mobile charging points, a mixer grinder, an air cooler, a refrigerator, and even an air conditioner. In 20 days the Solar Comet went on tour across the length and breadth of the city interacting with various Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) spreading awareness about the benefits of rooftop solar panels.
