GLADA installs rooftop solar power panel

Ludhiana August 25

The Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) has installed rooftop solar power plant on the roof of its main office on Ferozepur Road, Ludhiana. GLADA officials claimed that around 200-250 kilowatt hour of power is generated everyday with this solar power plant of 64 kilowatt.

After the successful installation and functioning of their first rooftop solar power plant, GLADA is going to install such solar power plants at Sector 38 and 39 A, Community Centre at Dugri, parking sheds and their other offices.

SDE Suraj Chand said they were saving more after installation of the rooftop solar panels. He further said they planned to install such panels at other locations. On every Saturday, Sunday or other holiday, the power generated through this rooftop solar panel was sold to PSPCL, he said.

GLADA Chief Administrator Parminder Singh Gill said they were saving power as the energy saver LED lights had been installed at GLADA office. He said they would install smart LED lights in various Urban Estates that had been developed by GLADA. — TNS
