Solar Power for Schools

Solar Power for Schools

Give your government school reliable solar electricity — powering computer labs, projectors, PA systems, and clean drinking water so every child can learn without power cuts or water shortages holding them back.

Nirmaan's school solar work has delivered measurable results: GHS Sanath Nagar in Hyderabad saves ₹35,000–40,000 per month in electricity bills following a solar installation supported by DBS Tech India, directly benefiting 1,600 students. A 10 kW on-grid system for a school of up to 300 students costs approximately $8,800 all-in; a 5 kW system for a smaller school runs around $4,889. Solar drinking water borewells supply up to 80,000 litres per day for student hygiene, toilets, and handwashing. Systems come with a 5-year warranty and are designed for a 25-year operational life. Eco-clubs, science teachers, and parent-teacher associations serve as stewards, integrating energy monitoring into the school curriculum. Field-assessed schools in Telangana and Karnataka — including KGBV residential schools for girls from marginalised communities — are already queued for the first funding phase.

How to get involved

Time: 4–6 hours a week during the 6–8 week installation period, then 2–3 hours a month for stewardship, monitoring, and reporting.
