Install solar power with battery backup at your district or secondary hospital — protecting operating theatres, ICUs, and vaccine cold chains from grid failures so that clinical care never stops, even during a power cut.
Nirmaan's healthcare solar portfolio includes a 50 kW system at NIMS Hospital, Hyderabad, generating approximately 200 units per day, saving ₹65,000 monthly, and reducing CO₂ by 15 tonnes in three months. All battery systems use LFP chemistry, with a 10-year design life. A diesel generator must be retained as tertiary backup for ICU and OT per medical safety protocols. Patient advocacy groups, community liaisons, and the facilities manager serve as volunteer stewards, conducting monthly energy audits and maintaining cold chain alert protocols.
