The canopy uses solar power to filter the water making it fit for drinking purpose. These inverted umbrellas are built in clusters and\u00a0controlled by one phi box, the\u00a0central operating system. The whole structure weighs 100 kg and its canopy\u00a0measures 4m x 4m and comes with a price tag\u00a0of one lakh. They also come with a 15-year warranty.\u00a0The latest version of the inverted umbrella, model 1080 XL can generate over 40 KW of solar power on a single charge and filter over 1 million liters of rainwater. Larger sizes can harvest more water when it rains and\u00a0captures more solar energy. Excess water can be stored in tanks to be used later, likewise, any extra energy can be fed to the grid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ulta Chhata could be the answer to our country&#8217;s growing problems of power and water.\u00a0ThinkPhi has already sold over 200 units and is targeting to launch many\u00a0 more energy efficient products. Next, the company is looking at designing smart bins that tackle home waste generation. We must applaud the brains behind this idea of taking the humble umbrella used to protect us from rains\u00a0to great heights and conserve the rains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ulta Chhata or Inverted Umbrella Its raining umbrellas on Greenworldinvestor \ud83d\ude42 Yesterday, I wrote about the Solar Umbrella and today I am going to talk<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30,45],"tags":[3111,3315,4233,4558,4599,5330,5540,5672,5673],"class_list":["post-21384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-india-green-stocks-greeninvest","category-solar-renewable-energy-greeninvest","tag-inverted-umbrella","tag-lack-of-electricity","tag-rain-water-conservation","tag-scarcity-of-water","tag-shade-canopies-to-toll-plazas","tag-supplying-clean-water-to-schools","tag-thinkphi","tag-ulta-chaata","tag-ulta-chhata"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiec-india.org\/greenworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
