Panchkula, August 5
A Chandigarh-based company Hartek Solar Pvt Ltd has installed a 10-kWp rooftop solar plant at Nada Sahib Gurdwara in Panchkula as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative.
The plant will generate 16,500 units of electricity annually, which will offset 12.91 tonnes of carbon dioxide and meet several day-to-day electricity requirements of the gurudwara.
The gurdwara will produce its own clean energy to run lights and fans in the parking and community kitchen. The solar plant at the shrine has been equipped with a unique remote sensing technology, which could be linked to Wi-Fi or GPRS SIM card to get alerts on cleaning and maintenance as well as real-time data on energy generation and savings. Jagir Singh, manager of the management committee of the gurdwara, thanked the company.
