Under the supervision and expertise of the Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, MITS has implemented a 250 KW rooftop solar plant under BOOT Model, the first of its kind in KERALA. The installation team consisted of Mr.Venugopalan Kurupath (Associate Professor,EEE), Dr.Anjali Varghese.C (Associate Professor,EEE) and Mr.Ramakrishnan.P.V (Assistant Professor, EEE).

The properties of the installed system are:

• 250kWp grid connected rooftop PV system
• Per unit cost=Rs 4.4/-(Rs 8/unit –present charge)
• Meets 60% of our annual energy requirement (3.39 lakh units/annum)
• BOOT (Build Own Operate Transfer) model
• Life time =20 years

A laboratory prototype of 3kW polycrystalline and monocrystalline solar panels has also been set up in the project lab. An inverter and lead acid battery is also part of the set up. Both students and faculty can do renewable energy based research projects in the facility.
