Solar panels for 25 schools
As many as 25 government higher secondary schools (GHSS) under the jurisdiction of the district panchayat will soon become self-reliant in energy with the installation of solar power panels. The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) will undertake the solar power scheme project at schools with the financial aid of the district panchayat. Though a set of 60 institutions of the district panchayat were selected for the project, panels will be installed at government higher secondary schools in the first phase. "Apart from converting the schools as energy-efficient institutions, the plan is to sell excess energy to the KSEB," said district panchayat president Babu Parassery. The solar energy produced during summer season, when the schools remain closed, can also be sold to the KSEB, he added.
