LPG GAS FREE INDIA

 

LPG GAS FREE INDIA

Are you affected by the increase in the price of LPG cylinders? If you want to get rid of the price hike of LPG cylinders, then you have come to the right place.

HOW CAN YOU DO THAT

As of today in my city Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh, it is of Rs.905 and my family of 4 members utilize 15 cylinders per year, which costs us around Rs.14,000 a year.

15 * 905 = 13575

But thanks to conflicts around the world , prices are only going to increase further and further, and middle class is going to be affected more and more.

SO,LETS GET RID OF LPG GAS. IN ORDER TO DO SO, YOU NEED SOLAR PANNELS + BATTERY + INDUCTION COOKTOP.

IS  IT  REALLY  THAT  AFFORTABLE?

SOLAR  PANNELS

In India the cheapest rooftop solar panels, which is provided by ‘TATA POWER SOLAR’ , is Rs.28 per KW but as my company imports from china it only costs around Rs.14 per KW.

So, you need solar panels of 1KW which will cost you around –

14 * 1000 = Rs.14,000

 BATTERY

As of battery requirements, you will be needing a 200Ah battery in order to run a 1900W induction cooktop efficiently. And if you check the price on ‘Amazon’ you will get the battery for approximately Rs.16000 but when my company imports it from china it will cost only Rs.11000 .

INDUCTION COOKTOP

The choice of induction cooktop completely lies on your shoulders. You can buy either ‘Bajaj’ or ‘Prestige’ which will cost you around Rs.2,000.

So, total cost with instalment = Rs.30,000

If you think this is a very high price then let me tell you that it is just twice the amount you pay for gas cylinders in one year. And after you have invested this much, you can cook free of cost for a decade.

#What about the people who live in cooperative apartment houses in which lots of people live in one floor in the city?

In this case, a new polish startup company SAULE TECHNOLOGIES  come in the scenes. It is basically making translucent glass with solar panels fitted inside it. This can be used to cover the area between two floors , doors, windows and society compound.

# What about the people who can’t afford it ?

Here, the EMI system will come in handy. If a vegetable retailer or an auto driver can buy a bike or ‘Oneplus’ phone, why can’t he buy this solar panel which is going to save more and more money in future.

# Rent system

If you are a person who constantly changes his/her city or you only live in the city for 6 months. We can also provide you with a whole kit for rent for about Rs.350 a month.

How it works :

In India, we have minimum of 7 hours of sunlight and 1 KW solar panels can generate a minimum of 5 KW of electricity daily which is enough for cooking for 4 hours.

Secondly, cooking is much faster in induction cooktop as compared to LPG gas. As it’s efficiency is 98% and that of LPG is only 68% .

 

FOR EXAMPLE, you can boil water in 2 minutes on induction cooktop as compared to 7 minutes on LPG stove.

CONCLUSION:

In the near future , prices of LPG is only going to increase and the savings of the middle class families is going to reduce more and more. And if you want to get rid of it or are hunting down an alternative method to cook, why not this method.
