India International Centre In Delhi Gets Solar Rooftop Plant

• The new plant will save Rs 11 lakh in power bills per year along with the saving of 63-tonne carbon emissions
• It will be operated by Tata Solar Power free of cost for the next five years

India International Centre (IIC) in the National Capital now owns a 70-KW solar rooftop plant. The rooftop model is expected to save Rs 11 lakh in power bills per year along with the saving of 63-tonne carbon emissions.

The solar plant with an energy efficiency of 90,000 KWh annually, has been set up by the Tata Solar Power at a cost of around Rs. 30 lakh, under its corporate social responsibility.

After the inauguration of the plant on Friday, company officials said, “The rooftop solar plant will be operated by Tata Solar Power free of cost for next five years. The unique parabolic design of the building’s rooftop posed a challenge before the engineering team, so the rooftop mounting was planned in an unconventional manner.”
