Solar energy has taken the world by storm. From houses to offices — from schools to hospitals — more and more establishments are going solar.
Inspired by the prospects of solar energy, Gurjar Sudhaar Sabha’s dharamshala in Kurukshetra decided to install a solar plant in the area. Today, the solar energy powers a total of 250 rooms in the Sabha’s dharamshala. Of them, there are 25 AC rooms, 45 rooms with coolers, 16 hall type rooms, and rest are ordinary rooms. Along with that, there are 5 store rooms and 3 big halls. The plant runs the electrical load of 45KW.
This was made possible due to the initiative of Haryana Department of Renewable Energy in collaboration with Su-Kam. One 30KW grid-tie inverter with 30KW solar panels along with a net meter was installed in the area.
The entire process was subsidised by the Haryana Government. The grid-tie inverter generates about 150 units of solar power depending on weather conditions.
“Solar power holds great potential. Not only it is conducive to environment, it is pocket-friendly too. There has been a sharp decline in our electricity bills ever since we have installed this solar power plant,” said Gyan Singh Advocate, Pradhan, Gurjar Sudhaar Sabha.
“Solar energy is India’s future. It is eco-friendly, yields 24×7 electricity and is a true value for money. Su-Kam appreciates the Gurjar Sudhaar Sabha’s decision and hopes that more and more establishments will go solar,” said Kunwar Sachdev, Managing Director, Su-Kam.
