Jayaraman sent an email today about building solar panels in India.
As a part of Green Joyment,I need your help in making solar cells and building panels in India,my country,with sun light for all most whole year.
Kindly inform me the process of making Solar Cells and building the panel.
Your lead in this will be of great help as we donot manufacture cells and importing will be expensive.

Jayaraman.
