Part 2/9:
Puja Patwari’s journey began five years ago when she installed solar panels on her rooftop. Her motivation was driven by the region’s intense heat, which necessitated substantial cooling, and her desire to reduce electricity costs. She invested approximately $3,000 USD in her solar setup, which included energy storage batteries to maximize efficiency. Her decision proved fruitful: before switching, she paid around 150 USD per month on average for electricity, but after adoption, her bills dropped significantly—even to the point of earning money when her solar system produced excess power.
