APJ Abdul Kalam at home with solar power Former President Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam is no exception to frequent power cuts in Tamil Nadu, putting visitors and his 97-year old elder brother in his home in Rameswaram to a lot of trouble. The former missile scientist has now converted his residence to a solar powered one, saving on energy costs. Narrating the incident of power outages in Rameswaram, at two functions here, Kalam said frequent power shortages created inconvenience to his brother living in the ancient house as a joint family. Also every day around 1,000 visitors from all over India to the Gallery and Library in his house were disappointed due to non availability of power, he said. “Particularly my brother does namaz five times, including early morning at 4 am. In such a situation, I thought there is no other way than converting the house as solar powered,” Kalam said. deccanchronicle/130907/news-current-affairs/article/apj-abdul-kalam-home-solar-power
