PV BASED GREEN COMPUTING SYSTEM FOR ICT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Photovoltaics (PV) appear to be upcoming solution for triple crunch i.e. credit, climate and energy crisis. In a step forward to reduce carbon emissions and promote clean renewable technology, ICT (Information Communication and Technology) is promoting Green Computing for planetary and personal sustainability. Although India ranks amongst top five solar investors in world, PV Research and Development support is not achieving benchmarks in ICT. A massive utilization of PV potential towards designing, fabrication/manufacturing, lay-out, installation, operationalization, maintenance of complete hard ware units as well as the product processes development, product manufacturing, product packaging, storage and marketing, etc needs to be identified. PV technology can give a platform to form basis of green IT and sustainability for manufacturing different computer gadgetry. An integrated solution on real ground towards achieving ICT development is presented by comparing energy saving and CO2 emission statistics for BTS (Base Transceiver Station), Electronic Charger and Laptop with Desktop PC. The innovative green solar PV products available in market are presented. It is observed that their implementation can deliver high efficiency, reduced fuel consumption and reduction of harmful effects. The system can work as low risk capacity green resources based asset for entrepreneurs.
