Lady Brabourne College has taken up a project to make a humble beginning in utilizing nature’s gift of solar energy in meeting ever increasing demand of electricity to some extent. Under this project, in February, 2016, solar panels of 1kWp capacity had been installed on the roof top of the main building at the college campus in collaboration with West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency, Govt. of West Bengal. In October, 2018, we have installed a Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic system (GRTSPV) having capacity 17.5 kWp using the fund received under CPE phase II scheme. This project has been implemented in our college under the active supervision of Department of Physics.

The Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic System with capacity 17.5 kWp has been connected to an existing electricity line having maximum power consumption in our college. At present the system is running successfully and the electricity bill has been reduced significantly. In this context it may also be pointed out that so far our Renewable Energy Source i.e. Solar Photovoltaic system has met 6% of the total power requirement of our college.
