The Rural Development Club of Mohan Babu University organized an event titled “Solar Surge” on 27th March 2025 from 3.30 P.M. to 4.30 P.M. at Room No. 4120 in the New Academic Block. This event’s primary objective was to discuss the present development trends of solar energy and the need of shaping a sustainable and self-sufficient future. This event was mainly conducted to create awareness of the rapid adoption of solar energy, government incentives, and sustainability efforts.
The session witnessed the enthusiastic participation of 42 students. The speakers emphasized power fluctuations in PV systems caused by shading, weather, or inverter operations, requiring surge protection. They emphasized the challenges and issues involved, especially in the Indian context. The participants were actively involved in discussing the several steps involved in solar power generation and consumption. And further, nearly seven students gave their presentations on this topic and explained the importance of solar energy in the near future.
Most of the speakers agreed that the Solar Surge marks a transformative shift toward sustainable energy, driven by technological advancements, economic benefits, and environmental awareness. With increasing solar adoption, improved efficiency, and supportive government policies, solar power is becoming a key solution for energy security and climate change mitigation. As the world embraces solar energy, its role in shaping a sustainable and self-sufficient future will only continue to grow. As solar energy gains momentum, awareness campaigns and technological advancements continue to shape a greener future. Solar energy can be used in remote areas where grid electricity is unavailable. Off-grid solar solutions offer immediate access to affordable, clean, and reliable electricity even in rural areas, where about 70% of the Indian population lives. Solar energy provides a cleaner, safer alternative that reduces indoor air pollution and health issues associated with domestic biomass and fossil fuel use. It also reduces significantly global warming.
The event was coordinated and conducted by the faculty coordinator, Mr. B.V. Sai Thrinath, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. This event was well-received by the students, and they actively participated in this session.
The Rural Development Club extended its heartfelt gratitude to the attendees for their active participation in this session and make it a resounding success.
