Energy Storage
Batteries are expensive proposition for back-up
Lead acid battery: 1500 cycles if operated between 60 to 100% capacity
1 kWh back-up will cost Rs 16.3/ kWh assuming single charge / discharge per day
Assuming Rs 6000 per kWh battery and 10% interest rate

Decentralized Solar PV
Would be ideal in day time
To complement grid
Direct usage in offices / shopping malls can reduce the day time peak
load requirement to a considerable extent
Some coupling to ice-battery (charged during off-peak hours)
Makes economic sense today, provided there is space for solar PV
installation

SOME SCENARIOS
reduce consumption of substantial quantities of diesel,
kerosene, furnace oil

Euro1 = Rs65
Solar PV: Rs 7.50 per kWh when dc is used: day six hours
Electrical battery back-up: storage costs over Rs 15 per kWh
Ice-storage: ?
Usage
Electrical Load: lighting, motor and electronics
Cooling Load
What should one use when? How to optimize?
What to optimize? costs, energy consumption, CO2

great solution
When sun-light is poorer, it is cooler and fan usage is lower
Why not use dc fans?
Why not use LEDs / CFL
