World's Largest Solar Dish Installed in Vadodara

Vadodara, Gujarat has set a new record by installing the world's largest solar dish at Goraj Muni Ashram. This solar dish, known as a solar concentrator, is capable of generating intense heat, which is used for various purposes such as cooking food, industrial processes, and electricity generation. The dish can cook food for over 2000 people daily and power an air conditioning plant with a capacity of 100 tons.

Environmental Benefits

This solar concentrator technology significantly reduces carbon emissions and helps save energy. Previously, the Muni Seva Ashram used about 1000 kg of wood every day, which was both expensive and harmful to the environment. With the solar dish now in operation, the use of wood has been completely eliminated, reducing carbon emissions and making the environment safer.

Solar Dish Features

The solar dish is highly efficient and can be installed in limited space, making it ideal for institutions like hospitals. Using this technology, a 100-ton capacity air conditioning plant can now be run without using gas or electricity, making the air cleaner and preventing pollution.

Double Capacity with Two Dishes

The solar dish works by concentrating the sun's rays to generate high temperatures, which are used to create steam via a solar boiler. Initially, one dish could power a 100-ton air conditioning plant. However, with two dishes in operation at Goraj Ashram, its capacity has doubled.

Benefits of the Solar Dish Technology

This steam-based technology allows the Ashram to prepare food for 2000 people daily. Additionally, the technology is used in areas that require steam, such as kitchens, laundry, sterilization, and hot water. With two solar dishes installed, the institution will see long-term economic benefits while also reducing pollution.

This initiative represents a significant step towards renewable energy use and environmental sustainability, benefiting both the institution and the surrounding community.
