Institution Level Energy Systems
Context Setting & Problem Statement:
- Many institutions, such as schools, hostels, health centers, hospitals and processing units in remote areas lack reliable electricity access.
-
Schools and Hostels
Schools in remote areas lack the grid reliability to run appliances like projectors, computers and water purifiers. Similarly, hostels struggle to light their campuses post the evening, affecting studying at night significantly for the students as well as posing safety concerns. -
Public Health Centers and Hospitals
Due to the lack of reliable grid connection, critical services like storing vaccines, powering essential medical equipment, down to lighting for surgery, is a problem in health centers in remote areas. -
Productive Application Machinery
In rural areas, access to reliable three-phase electricity to operate productive applications is limited, hindering the economic growth of communities in such areas.
Powering Essential Public Institutions
Gram Oorja has installed solar systems with battery backup to provide electricity to power these institutions, enhancing functionality, access, and improving quality of life. These systems are designed to meet the unique electrical requirements of each institution, with a focus on reducing electricity costs, ensuring optimal performance and reliability, based on the specific needs of the end users.
-
Schools and Hostels
Gram Oorja’s solar system powers all the equipment in the school and hostel, including essential speech training devices, projectors & computers. The system also has a battery backup to cater to power outages and power the hostel at night. -
Public Health Centers and Hospitals
Apart from lighting and fans, our solar systems help power medical equipment including ILRs, freezers, refrigerators, and nebulizers. In hospitals with operation theatres, more complex system designs are implemented to support additional equipment like shadowless lamps, fumigation machines, suction machines, and fetal monitors.
Productive Application Machinery
Solar systems are helping transform rural livelihoods by powering applications that boost income and sustainability. Some examples include milk chillers that reduce waste and increase profitability, food processing units that add value to produce, and machines for making leaf or paper plates, creating new income streams. All of these machines are powered by a solar system.
Most of our systems are installed for public health centers, schools, hostels, and agro-processing units in remote regions of Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Odisha.
- Key features of our institution level energy systems include:
-
Selection of sites
We conduct detailed surveys, especially in remote areas, to understand institutional needs. Solutions are tailored to specific requirements, not one-size-fits-all. We assist funding agencies in selecting sites with the greatest need and impact potential. -
Dedicated maintenance
Gram Oorja is committed to providing maintenance to these systems over a fixed time period, irrespective of the location.
