IIT Bhubaneswar has successfully commissioned a solar power generating station of 490 KWp capacity at its permanent campus.

BHUBANESWAR: IIT Bhubaneswar has successfully commissioned a solar power generating station of 490 KWp capacity at its permanent campus. Roof tops of all the existing buildings are utilised for installing solar panels and power generating equipment.

Inaugurating the project on Monday, Director Prof RV Raja Kumar said the institute has decided to make the campus green and installation of solar power station is one step in this regard.“We have also been undertaking a massive plantation drive of 30,000 trees during the last three rainy seasons.

The institute has already awarded contract to create STP and ETP in the campus through NBCC and it is working on rain water harvesting as the buildings are designed to be equipped with rain water collection system,” he said. The project not only provides power through solar generation but also generates enough data and information for research on solar PV renewable energy systems.

The solar PV panels were commissioned on May 14 and the generation is found to be fully in tact till date.
The successful installation is likely to inspire surrounding institutes in Bhubaneswar to go for clean and green energy.
