that are ideal for rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) or
solar thermal systems. Solar panels on school roofs could reduce air pollution,
help the environment, and cut electricity costs and ideal for the rooftop solar
panels.
A 51.2 kW solar-rooftop system was inaugurated at Vidya School, Gurugram. The system was installed
by ReNew Power, India’s leading renewable energy company. The project,
undertaken by ReNew as a part of its ‘Lighting Lives’ CSR initiative, will
allow Vidya School to generate electricity for its own consumption, using solar
radiation.
The solar rooftop
installation will provide electricity to the school complex and will help
Vidya School save Rs 5 lakh
every year in
electricity bills. The school plans to use the savings for scholarships
and financial assistance to its
students. Vidya School
