To reduce dependence on grid electricity and lower energy costs, they partnered with DE to implement a 410 kW rooftop solar system under a 7-year loan model. This approach enabled the trust to adopt clean energy without upfront investment, while DE continues to manage the plant's operation and maintenance.
Performance
Challenges and solutions
1. Legacy equipment compatibility
The site's legacy metering and communication hardware couldn't support modern RMS protocols, preventing accurate real-time data capture.
DE upgraded interface modules, recalibrated sensors, and integrated protocol converters to ensure seamless and accurate monitoring.
2. Multi-building data integration
Managing seven data loggers across multiple buildings created wiring and synchronization challenges.
DE implemented a centralized network to aggregate all data, simplifying monitoring and ensuring unified campus-wide insights.
Impact and benefits
55% annual cost savings on electricity bills.
5,00,036 kWh clean energy generated so far; 400 tonnes CO₂ offset, equal to 254 tonnes of coal saved or 78 cars taken off the road.
DE provides full performance monitoring, preventive maintenance, and real-time reporting.
“Partnering with Distributed Energy has been a transformative step in our sustainability journey. Their team delivered a seamless solar installation tailored to our campus needs.
