Submit your application through ChangeX with documentation of your hospital's power situation — frequency of grid failures, their impact on OT and labour room operations, and existing backup arrangements. Hospitals with formal needs assessments, incident logs, or letters from clinical leads are prioritised. You'll receive an onboarding call with a Nirmaan healthcare solar specialist who explains the technical process and schedules a clinical load assessment visit.

A Nirmaan engineer and a biomedical engineering liaison visit your hospital to map critical loads — OT equipment, labour room monitors, ICU ventilators, vaccine cold chain, and emergency lighting. They design a system that prioritises these circuits for solar and battery backup, ensuring that the most life-critical loads receive uninterrupted power first. The design includes automatic changeover under 10 milliseconds for OT and labour room circuits. The Medical Superintendent and facilities manager review and approve the full design before any procurement begins.

Nirmaan's certified team installs the rooftop solar panels, the LFP battery bank, the inverter and changeover system, and all wiring to the priority circuits. Installation at this scale takes four to six days and requires coordination with hospital operations to minimise disruption to clinical services. The team commissions each critical circuit individually, running live tests to confirm sub-10ms changeover performance on the OT and labour room feeds. The facilities manager and biomedical engineering team witness commissioning and sign off on a full handover report.

Nirmaan delivers two parallel training sessions: one for the facilities team covering energy monitoring, battery health checks, and fault escalation; and one for patient advocacy group volunteers covering community awareness, monthly energy audit participation, and reporting to ChangeX. ICU and OT nursing supervisors receive a briefing on the changeover system and how to recognise a battery alert. All stewards receive documentation in the local language and direct access to Nirmaan's technical helpline. Quarterly field visits from Nirmaan support ongoing stewardship.

Submit monthly energy generation, OT uptime, and cold chain continuity data to Nirmaan and ChangeX. This data makes the clinical case for solar in public hospitals — demonstrating lives protected, procedures completed without interruption, and significant cost savings redirected to patient care. Share your results with the district health officer, your state's National Health Mission office, and other hospitals in your district. Facilities that achieve strong outcomes become advocates for expanding solar to ICUs, blood banks, and general wards — building towards a fully solar-powered public hospital.
