Rising electricity costs are one of the major factors in putting up unprecedented pressure on educational budgets across India. Every extra rupee spent on electricity bills is a rupee not invested in the education of the enrolled student.
offers a practical and viable solution that helps to transform the energy independence of your institution & also help in supporting sustainability goals of India.
With vacant roofs available on most educational institutions, and predictable energy consumption can easily be obtained from last 2-3 years of electricity bills, they are perfectly positioned to benefit from solar rooftop solutions.
The Indian government’s commitment to renewable energy makes this the ideal time to transition to clean solar energy.
Educational institutions pay a substantial amount to DISCOMS by way of electricity bills. Moreover, electricity tariffs continue to rise year after year, which makes it a major component of the institution’s budget. Solar panels for colleges and schools help in offsetting this major cost, with potential savings of up to 70% on monthly electricity bills. This way, the amount saved can be used to improve academic infrastructure, update learning technologies, and support student programs.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy provides substantial financial assistance for educational institution solar projects. Educational institutions can also benefit from accelerated depreciation, making solar investments even more attractive from a financial perspective.
Most educational institutions have vacant roof space that remains un-utilized. The solar panel installation on the bare roofs maximizes energy generation, helping the institution generate their own electricity. Even on holidays, the roof of the school becomes an extra-earning source for the school / college / any other educational institution.
Schools and colleges can transform the parking areas into dual-purpose energy generation zones. Solar carports not only provide shade for vehicles parked but also can generate clean and free electricity. This innovative approach maximizes space utilization and creates a modern, sustainable campus environment.
For institutions with extra available land, ground-mounted systems offer easy maintenance, access and scalability. These installations are perfect for schools & colleges with unused open fields or unused outdoor spaces, providing flexibility for future solar expansion.
Solar energy for schools & colleges delivers immediate and long-term financial benefits. Most solar installations have a payback period of 4-5 years, followed by 20 more years of free electricity generation.
The typical return on investment exceeds 20%, making solar one of the soundest financial decisions for educational institutions.
Government data shows that schools with solar installations report average electricity bill reductions of 50-70%. These savings create budget stability, allowing better long-term financial planning and resource allocation for academic priorities.
Solar installations help you position your institution as an environmental leader in the educational community. Students gain practical exposure to renewable energy technology, supporting STEM Education initiatives (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Many institutions have already got green building certifications, improving their reputation and attracting environmentally conscious families.
Our technical team conducts comprehensive site evaluations, analyzing your roof structure, energy consumption patterns, and available space. We provide detailed proposals showing projected savings and return on investment.
Installation, normally, takes 2-3 weeks for most educational facilities. Our technicians work around academic schedules to minimize disruption to education.
