Also the elevated structures ensure that we continue to use the roof as before for our regular use" Dr. Jhunjhunwala, added.

The IIT Madras Solarsis rooftop solar plant is a mix of Mono-crystalline, Poly-crystalline, High efficiency Poly-crystalline (with >19% module efficiency) and CIGS thin-film modules in which both string and central inverters of various capacities are used. The 90KW solar plant will generate 1.5 Lakh units per annum and helps offset 90 tons of carbon dioxide.

"It is a fine example of collaborative effort between industry and an academic institution to pursue practical green electricity alternatives.
