Inspired by: Despite Nepal is second runner up in water resources with plenty potential for hydro-power project; however it is facing one of most awful and shameful power shortage in its modern history i.e. power cut off @ 14-16 hrs per day. High price of PV solar panels is not affordable for most people especially in country side. This inspired me to design a cheap solar thermal powered generator that is cheaper and affordable for even a underprivileged people.
