My New Blog on Renewable Energy Technologies & Products in India!
As my readers may already know, I am a professional Blogger. That means, I work on my blogs (1,2) full-time. It doesn’t mean that I earn as much or more than what I was earning, when I was employed, earlier. In fact, I am far from reaching that point, anytime soon. Perhaps, with my efforts, your good wishes and a lot of luck, that might just happen sooner!
Anyway, this post is about my new online venture – www.solarwindhydroenergy.com
It’s a niche blog, dedicated to renewable energy technologies, companies & products in India. Since it’s a blog, I will primarily be giving information to both individuals & organizations on what renewable energy technologies they can adopt to generate their own electricity, which companies offer them and what products are offered by such companies. I will also provide information about OEM’s, spare part manufacturers, raw material suppliers for the renewable energy industry.
I plan to write about my views/analysis on the renewable energy industry & technologies. I don’t intend to cover news, but I may touch upon them occasionally, for inspiration. My blog will have a special focus on : Solar Energy, Wind Energy & Hydro Energy, in India. But, I also intend to write about other popular renewable energy technologies, for the Indian market.
As you may have noticed, I have taken a lot of interest on sustainable living concepts recently and renewable energy forms an important part of that broader vision. I would have had a lot of advantages, had I chosen to write about renewable energy technologies on this site. But then, I realized that I will want to retain Destination Infinity as a personal blog. I will, however, continue to write about sustainable living/renewables here too, occasionally.
My new blog is hosted in Blogger. I am not planning to monetize that site anytime soon. In fact, I have not yet decided how/whether I will be monetizing it! I know renewable energy technologies are not yet hugely popular with people/organizations in India. But, I will want to be in a good position, when that eventually happens. I hope my efforts will contribute towards/be a catalyst, for clean energy initiatives/development in India, in whatever small way possible.
I have to also mention that my sailing as an online publisher has not been entirely smooth. In fact, I had to delete one site and abandon another after having worked on each, for about a year. There is always the challenge of earning sufficient revenue, and whatever I make now is not much. But they are not entirely insignificant either. I also do freelance writing jobs for customers, occasionally.
But, in spite of all this, working on what I am passionate about, gives me immense satisfaction. I do hope I will learn from my failures and mistakes, quick enough! Any suggestions/feedback on the new blog (topics to write, design, etc.) are highly welcome. It’s a professional blog, so regular readers don’t have to follow it. I will update important happenings on that blog, here anyway.

Congratulations for your new online venture!
Solar power generation has huge potential in India. Recently a friend has joined a solar energy company and he was sharing with us that solar power is the business of the future and it will change the energy scenario in India.
Wishing you all the success in your new venture and also for your career as a professional blogger!
Solar energy has a lot of potential, but at this point of time, the upfront cost of solar panels is quite high. With new solar power technologies being developed all over the world, their efficiency will increase and costs will come down, in the near future.
You maybe surprised to know that large wind turbines/wind mills are more economical than nuclear/coal-fired power plants! It’s the same with large hydro electric plants. Together, solar, wind and hydro energy will change the energy scenario in India, as you say.

Many congratulations for the new venture 🙂
Wishing you all the luck.
Yes, I need all the luck. Thanks 🙂

I have read and enjoyed and learnt from some of your posts on this subject too. Good that you have started a new blog exclusively for it. All the best!
This being my personal blog, I can’t write on certain topics (renewable energy companies and products, for example). That necessitated a separate blog, basically. Thanks for your wishes…
Destination Infinity
Excellent and All the very best .. my best wishes always with you DI 🙂
Thanks Bikram. I know your wishes will be with me. All this encouragement is very important for me, especially at this point of time. Thanks again 🙂
Destination Infinity
All the best for the new venture, D.I.!
Thanks Maami 🙂
Destination Infinity
Wow! That’s great idea and there couldn’t be anything better than the nature based energies and technology, which lack harm on environment. My best wishes on this site and I hope it become a hub on information on the source of renewable energy and spread the message and help those looking for an experience on this technology.
Thanks, Jeevan. I too hope it will become an information hub for renewable energy in India. I am quite passionate about renewable energy and hope to convert that passion into information & useful action, on that site. Thanks for your wishes.
Destination Infinity
Congratulations and wish you all the best. May God be with you all the time.
Yes. I sometimes wonder if God makes us do all these things. If that is the case, I can sleep peacefully because it’s his/her child and it hence it will be taken care of! 🙂
Destination Infinity
All the best DI and wishing you all the success…
Thank you… Wishing you the same for your new photo blog as well 🙂
Destination Infinity
That’s great DI. Wind Energy has a lot of potential in our country. Wishing you all success with this new initiative!
Thanks. Actually, I went to the recent expo ‘Wind Power India 2012’ in Chennai. That’s why you find so many posts on wind energy on the main page. Of course, wind has a lot of potential but I plan to write about other renewable energy technologies, as well, in that site.

I think it is a very good business idea. Renewable energy is a social cause. Blogging is also social. And you have taken an initiative.
But keep looking out for ideas like human walking generator.
Best wishes on your venture.
Yes, I will keep looking for ideas like that. I hope I will be able to contribute in the smallest way possible for the renewable energy adoption in India.
Destination Infinity
Brilliant effort, DI. May this be a whole new beginning of dreams to be realized! Congratulations!
I too hope so, Rak. With this one, I don’t have the luxury of time that I had with others… I need to be FAST!! 🙂
Destination Infinity

Very happy to know of this DI! I wish you the best of luck for a wise and friendly and definitely much needed concept 🙂
Thank you…….. Much needed indeed. Let’s hope the entire country (and world) can be powered using solar, wind and hydro energy in the near future 🙂
