World population is growing continuously with more people living on the Earth than ever before. In 2007, humanity’s total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.5 planet Earths. Resources are becoming increasingly valuable as the Earth is the only source till date and others planets are still to become a viable source of these resources.
Projections estimate that we will need the equivalent of two planets by 2030 to meet our annual demands. The only way, we can reduce our footprint is by producing more with less, and consuming better, wiser and less - the way forward is better and 'frugal' choices!
In this report, we present the trends that encourage better choices; trends in Frugal Innovations, 'Jugaad' and Do-It-Yourself are explored to see how and where we can make our better choices for the future.
We conclude our report with 3 thought provoking future scenarios.
In 2013, the Institute of Customer Experience designed a board game called “Trip to the Future” which was used to conduct “playshops” for children to get insights into how children’s minds work in visualizing the future.
Three years later, at Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2016 held in Mumbai, we had an opportunity to conduct two similar playshops—one for an NGO called Akanksha and the second for the KGAF 2016 festival children.
The responses we received were intriguing and actually point to current trends in 2016, indicating the directions in which technology will evolve in the future.
Response-Trend that emerged:
1. Practical space exploration
2. Beneficial intelligence
3. Maker movement (3D printing)
4. Space-saving automated tech
5. Cognitive Internet of Things
6. Immersive screen display
7. Augmented knowledge (and immortality)

Solar tree is a tree in structure and the panels are like leaves of the tree which produces energy. The tree consists of numerous solar panels connected to one another in series and parallel connections in Fibonacci sequence. The solar tree consists of number of branches welded to a stem and each stem has a solar panel mounted on it. Flat or roof top mountings of PV systems require large area or land. Scarcity of land is greatest problem in cities and even in villages in India. Load or energy requirement of small house in India is estimated to 1.75kWhr/day. Tracking system can be easily employed in Solar Tree hence its performance is better than flat mountings of solar PV system. The total cost of Solar Tree is about Rs.60000 /-. The overall cost can be reduced using simple and innovative designs of Solar Tree. It can be installed on the sides of heavy traffic roadways and on roof top buildings.
Traditional Solar Energy in Farms & Agrivoltaics - Intelizonintelizon
Intelizon intends to be world leaders in solar based products. It is a house of innovation. Zonpower solar house systems & Zonstreet outdoor lighting are the flagships of Intelizon which can be very helpful for agrivoltaics.
Solar energy technologies refer primarily to the use of solar radiation for practical ends. All other renewable energies other than geothermal derive their energy from energy received from the sun.
Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic modules (also called photovoltaic panels) and solar thermal collectors (with electrical or mechanical equipment) to convert sunlight into useful outputs. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.
Intelligent Energy Harvester Solar System for Lawn Mower Applicationijtsrd
Energy harvesters are a very fast Engineering field that comes with different combinations of technology that reduces human effort and gives maximum output. Hybrid means it can work both in sun and rain weather. Nowadays, lots of energy and human effort is being wasted on mowing the lawn in different parts of the world. The aim is to develop an all weather intelligent energy harvester lawn mower that will mow the lawn in all season, with no human effort, no pollution in terms of noise, air, and less energy consumption. More to these, the system has sensors to prevent or divert obstacles, making it operate independently. The concept of this work is to utilize renewable energy, reduce power conversion efficiency, and provide a good selfless and easy environment for grass cutting no matter the weather condition. In this work, a lawn mower is developed and a smart control system for the prevention of obstacles. The hybrid solar panel and graphene were developed to accommodate the output of weather conditions. The sun and rain droplet stays on them and is converted to electricity, it goes through a DC DC boost converter, passes through a stabilizer, and then to the battery for storing. The Direct current DC gear optimizes the directions. A motor driver was developed to drive the DC gears and a MOSFET driver for the blades and the rear tires. The rotating wheel rotates the direction, for each rear tire, is a motor. The solar panel was also used for charging the 12V battery, which is the engine brain of the system, it is controlled by 5V RPS. The RF receiver system receives and interprets commands for the remote control to the microcontroller. The solar panels supply energy to the battery and are controlled by the solar charge controller, which protects the battery from overcharging and maintains the batterys performance. The sensor senses an obstacle and sends it to the RF receiver for change in direction, and the second sensor is for motion detection, motor driver, and Bluetooth unit. The entire design is economical and fit with the objectives. Nwobodo Lois.

One of the primary needs for socio-economic development in any nation in the world is the provision of reliable electricity supply systems with lower carbon footprint levels. The purpose of this work is the development of a hybrid Power system that harnesses the renewable energy in sun and electricity to generate electricity. The working model can able to run on dual mode- solar and electricity. It can also be driven independently either by solar or electricity. The battery can be charge from solar panel (40W) or by power supply. The household single phase A.C. power supply of 230V is converted into 12V D.C. using step down transformer and rectifying circuit. The working model can achieve energy saving, low carbon emission, environmental protection for the upcoming future of human life.
