Energy Efficient Advertising

This Friday I was travelling across Thane & found something very interesting on the street-side - Solar powered Advertising Boards. This is a novel idea started by TMC (Thane Municipal Corporation) for Outdoor Advertising. It is called "Solar Sign". In a power hungry state like Maharashtra only such energy efficient technologies can save the state from severe power crisis. I always used to feel bad when I used to go past Nariman Point looking at advertising boards consuming loads of electricity for lighting those Halogen lamps. But with such wonderful initiative from the government agencies, things will definitely move towards a brighter future.
