This initiative aligns with the government’s PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which aims to power all government buildings with solar energy, reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy usage across the country.

At the plant a total of 300 bifacial solar panels have been installed (each measuring 7.5 feet by 3.75 feet) with a rated power of 550 watts peak (WP). These high-efficiency panels can capture sunlight from both sides, maximizing energy output.

The rooftop system is expected to generate 500 to 700 units of electricity daily, helping the institute reduce its reliance on non-renewable energy and supporting India's push for sustainable, solar-powered government buildings.
