The St George’s School, Alaknanda, New Delhi has implemented a novel green initiative by installing a dedicated roof-top solar panel system to generate green and clean electricity for the school which will meet 100 per cent of the school’s power needs through solar energy.
This environment-friendly system will power the entire infrastructure including classrooms, smart boards, laboratories, staffrooms, principal and management rooms, auditorium and all air conditioners within the school’s premises.
In other words, this solar panel system will be catering to 100 per cent of the school’s electricity requirement thereby eliminating dependency on any external source of electricity, and also championing the cause of using 100 per cent renewable resource of electricity. In addition to the above, this new roof-top solar panel system will also power all the flood lights installed in the school’s playground.
Dr Sara George Muthoot, director, St George’s School said: “With this initiative, the school has entered a special league of select schools in India that run purely on renewable and non-conventional sources of energy like solar power. We are glad and humbly proud of having accomplished this eco-friendly project satisfactorily.”
Alexander George Muthoot, Vice-chairman, St George’s School said: “The school is part of The Muthoot Group’s Education Division which has always endeavoured to implement eco-friendly measures across all its educational institutes. Making the school solar energy enabled was a project close to our heart and we are glad to have accomplished it.”
