In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards renewable energy sources to power campuses in a sustainable manner. Among these renewable options, rooftop solar panels coupled with inverters have emerged as a promising solution. This trend represents not only a commitment to environmental stewardship but also a strategic investment in long-term cost savings and energy independence.

In line with the growing trend towards renewable energy sources, NITER has recently partnered with Dhaka Solar Limited to install and operate a 20.5 kW rooftop solar with its already existing 5 kW rooftop PV system. The installed PV system includes 36 monocrystalline solar PV modules (570 Wp) with an on-grid inverter. There are two 10 kW 3-phase solar inverters ensuring the compatibility of solar power with existing electrical systems, thereby allowing seamless integration of renewable energy into the infrastructure.   This initiative makes NITER one of the first institutes in Bangladesh to undertake such an endeavor. The solar energy system aims to not only generate electricity but also stand to benefit from long-term cost savings on energy bills. Furthermore, it is expected to significantly reduce annual carbon emissions. This significant collaboration highlights NITER’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and its contributions to Bangladesh’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
