Kundan Sagar | Gaurav Kumar Bharti

Abstract: The transport and logistics division is a significant fundament that is vital for the advancement of a nation like India. As per the World Bank report, in the vehicle and logistics industry segment, India demonstrates predominant development and roadways hold an estimated share of 80 % of the land transport in India. An effective road system is required for national amalgam, for financial enhancement and to support Indian monetary development. As a wellknit and composed arrangement of transport assumes a vital part in the development of a nation, necessity and interest of the petrol pumps are likewise increment. With the help of solar power solution for petrol pump, we can utilize the power of innovative renewable technology such as solar in providing uninterrupted power to customers and businesses in various applications. Since climatic states of India give copious sunlight based radiation amid most part of the year there is tremendous potential and additionally scope for solar electrification of the country. Thus, if we look at the renewable energy potential, solar energy provides a great opportunity for India to have a sustainable energy scenario. Hence, in this article an effort is made to identify the impact of solarization of petrol pumps and their role in creating awareness about Solar Energy systems.
