Waaree Energies Commissions 25 KW rooftop solar project in Ladakh

The installation of this project is of critical importance as solar power brings some much needed respite to the people of Ladakh.

Waaree Energies has unveiled a 25 KW rooftop solar project at Himalayan Institute of Alternatives (HIAL). The project is done by Waaree Energies under its CSR programme and is part of its ongoing efforts to bring the current wave of solar revolution to Ladakh.

HIAL has established its position as a renowned institute in the region, founded by the visionary Sonam Wangchuk. HIAL is expected to save close to INR 2 Lacs per year. The installation of this project is of critical importance as solar power brings some much needed respite to the people of Ladakh, since the region is cut off from the Kashmir valley for the most of winter.

The project has installation of 20 KW Waaree 325 Wp modules, which will help meet the power requirements of the campus, whereas the 5 KW Merlin – Flexible modules will power the Greenhouse shelter.

Waaree Energies not only donated the panels, but also ensured their implementation and commissioning. The local climatic conditions, especially during the cold winters, make it imperative to have solutions that ensure self-sustainability within the region with respect to energy.

Commenting on the occasion, Sunil Rathi, Director, Waaree Energies said, “The project is further to our commitment of making energy, especially solar, accessible to all. We already have an established presence in Ladakh, and if one travels through the region, they are bound to see our Solar Thermal Systems around.”

Sonam Wangchuk added, “Waaree Energies was our preferred choice when we decided to transition to solar energy at HIAL. We were well aware of Waaree’s long standing excellence in quality and service, and have first-hand seen their products and solutions. My inclination towards innovation found the perfect fitment with Waaree Energies, and we hope this is the start of a long association with them.”
