Rooftop Solar for School
How Solar Works for Your School
Classrooms, labs, computer rooms and fans all run during school hours, which is exactly when solar panels produce. The surplus on weekends and holidays is exported and credited through net metering.
A solar system is also a teaching tool: Bhanu can provide a generation display so students can see clean energy at work.
Typical system size
15 – 150 kW
Large roofs often allow systems bigger than the current load.

FAQ
Solar for School: Questions
What happens to solar power during school holidays?
With net metering it is exported to the grid and credited to your account, offsetting later consumption.
Is it safe to install solar on a school roof?
Yes. Installations follow electrical safety standards with proper earthing and protection, and the roof area is secured from students.
Are there subsidies for schools?
The central PM Surya Ghar subsidy is for homes. Some states have schemes for government schools and institutions — we check what applies.
