The Neotia University, a reputed higher education institute in West Bengal, wanted to reduce its dependence on grid power while aligning with its sustainability vision. The institution has a large campus with substantial electricity demand for classrooms, laboratories, hostels, and administrative facilities. To address rising energy costs and demonstrate leadership in renewable adoption, the university engaged HCK Solar Energy Limited to design and execute a rooftop solar PV plant that would provide clean, reliable energy while utilizing unused rooftop space.

• Lower annual electricity expenses for campus operations
• Improve sustainability and meet institutional green goals
• Use idle rooftop space effectively
• Achieve long-term savings through the CAPEX model

HCK Solar carried out a detailed site survey and structural analysis of the university’s rooftops. Based on load requirements and roof design, we implemented a 150.995 kWp rooftop ballast type solar system.

Technical Highlights:

• Modules: Tier-1 Monocrystalline Solar Panels (High-efficiency)
• Inverters: Grid-tied string inverters with >97% efficiency
• Mounting System: Ballast type (non-penetrative) to protect roof integrity
• Monitoring: IoT-enabled smart monitoring platform with real-time data access
• Safety Features: Surge protection, earthing, and fire safety systems

The project helps The Neotia University significantly reduce its electricity costs while strengthening its commitment to sustainable development. By adopting solar power, the institution sets a positive example for students and society, cutting down 180 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually — equivalent to planting over 8,000 trees every year.
