Solar-powered juicer launched
There is a good news for disappointed cool drinks shop
owners hit by frequent power cut and unable to cash in on the demand
from public with the mercury shooting up everyday.
They
can switch to subsidised solar-powered juicer developed by Aditya
Suraksha entrepreneurs Syed Zahed and T.Veeranarayan to continue their
sales unhindered and provide relief to people from sweltering heat.
Launching
the eco-friendly product, Municipal Commissioner S.Ravindra Babu patted
the duo and urged them to develop more such products to tap the
abundant solar energy and create more self-employment opportunities to
youth. ”The juicer comes with 50 watt and 100 watt capacity. When fully
charged, the first one costing Rs 12,000 can be run for six hours and
the second one costing Rs 20000 for 12 hours”, explained Mr Zahed.
Conventional electrical back-up could also be provided to the juicer,
they added.
