India — like the rest of the world — is facing multiple environmental pressures: rising urban air pollution, increasing fuel dependence, mounting solid-waste challenges, and the accelerating impacts of climate change. These are not distant problems; they affect health, livelihoods and the economy today. The good news: most of these challenges are solvable if individuals, communities and businesses act deliberately and adopt cleaner technologies.
At Surya Renewable Energy Systems (SRES) we design and deliver practical, locally-relevant solutions — electric passenger vehicles, solar energy systems, biogas plants and portable/sanitation solutions — that reduce pollution, cut costs and improve quality of life. Below is a clear, action-oriented roadmap: why the problem matters, what each of us can do, and how SRES solutions fit into a scaled, sustainable response.
What’s at stake: the core environmental concerns right now
Air pollution and urban health: Fine particulate matter and vehicle emissions contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Urban transport (especially small commercial two- and three-wheelers) remains a large source of local air pollution.
Greenhouse gas emissions & climate risk: Fossil fuel combustion for transport and electricity increases CO₂ and drives climate extremes — heatwaves, erratic rain, crop stress.
Energy insecurity and rising costs: Fuel price volatility pressures household and commercial budgets. Dependence on imported fossil fuels affects national energy resilience.
Waste and sanitation: Improperly managed waste and lack of clean sanitation increase disease and degrade local ecosystems.
These problems are interconnected — fix the transport system, and you reduce pollution and emissions while saving money. Improve decentralized energy through solar and biogas, and you increase resilience and lower bills.
Small actions + scalable solutions = big impact
Everyone can act. Here’s how actions at different levels add up:
Individuals & households
Choose cleaner transport for short trips (walk, cycle, shared electric vehicles).
Install solar rooftop or hybrid solutions to cut grid electricity use.
Embrace biogas where possible for kitchen energy — it reduces organic waste and replaces LPG.
Businesses & fleet owners
Replace older ICE two- and three-wheelers with electric alternatives to cut fuel and maintenance costs.
Invest in onsite solar for daytime operations to lower operating expenses and carbon footprint.
Prioritize products with after-sales support to ensure uptime and longevity.
Local government & institutions
Support electrification of last-mile transport through incentives and dedicated lanes/parking for EVs.
Deploy decentralized sanitation & clean-energy projects in underserved areas.
Back training programs so operators and technicians can maintain new systems.
How SRES solutions tackle the problems (real, measurable benefits)
1. Electric 3-wheelers & passenger vehicles (e-rickshaws)
Reduce tailpipe emissions to improve local air quality.
Lower operating cost (electricity is typically cheaper/km than petrol/diesel; maintenance needs are lower).
Higher passenger capacity options (like our 6-seater models) increase revenue per trip for operators and reduce vehicles on the road.
2. Solar energy systems
Provide clean, predictable electricity for homes, shops and institutions.
Cut electricity bills and reduce dependence on grid or diesel backups.
When paired with batteries, support off-grid or weak-grid areas.
3. Biogas plants
Turn organic waste into usable energy for cooking or electricity generation.
Reduce methane emissions from open waste decomposition — a powerful climate benefit.
Improve onsite waste management for farms, hostels, and small businesses.
4. Portable toilets & sanitation solutions
Improve public health and reduce contamination of local water sources.
Provide hygienic, off-grid options for construction sites, events and remote locations.
A quick credibility point: as of July 2025, SRES has delivered 500+ vehicles and helped customers realize large fuel-cost savings — real outcomes that translate into cleaner neighbourhoods and stronger livelihoods.
How to start — a simple, practical checklist
Assess your transport & energy use. Map daily kilometers, fuel costs, and peak electricity needs.
Choose the right solution. For short urban routes, consider a 6-seater or L3 e-rickshaw; for daytime commercial power, a solar rooftop; for farms/hostels, a biogas plant.
Plan for uptime. Confirm warranty, service network and spare parts availability.
Run a pilot. Start with one vehicle or one solar installation to validate savings in your setting.
Scale with data. Track fuel/electricity costs and emissions reductions to make the business case for scale.
Environmental change will not happen overnight — but it does happen when people choose better options and businesses commit to sustainable solutions.
