So many places throughout the world are blessed with plentiful sunshine, and why not harness that free recourse and turn it into energy.  Well that is exactly what they are doing in Shirdi, India.  Shirdi, India boasts 300-330 days of sun a year, and is visited by thousands of pilgrims.  In order to keep up with demand from all the pilgrims visiting the temple daily, they have created the world’s largest solar cooking system. The 73 solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, creating renewable energy.  In Shirdi, India it is important not only to have a green commitment but also to save on energy costs. By using a renewable energy source in this case solar power Shirdi, India reaps significant financial savings and huge environmental benefits by the eliminating of the needs to cut down of trees for firewood, soot and carbon dioxide emissions.

Currently, 50% of the world’s population cooks with an open fire, which results in trees being removed from our world’s forests and unhealthy levels of pollution from coal burning.  Hopefully, Shirdi, India will be an environmental and financial example to other regions, and we will see a trend follow.
