Purpose
Ladakh has the potential to be the major solar energy producer of the country. The Government of India in its National Solar Mission plans to install as much as 25 GW of SPV plants in the region, which is one-fourth of the total envisioned capacity. Additionally, the sector presents immense entrepreneurial opportunities in the region waiting to be tapped. Towards this end, HIAL intends to increase the skills of locals in this sector so that local employment can be generated which is in line with the National Skills Mission.
About the Workshop
This is a 10-15 days-long course focussing on different aspects of installing a household scale SPV plant. It is an opportunity for promising youth interested to build a career in the SPV industry. The course’s USP is that the participants will be responsible for actually installing and commissioning a 7kW Solar Rooftop Plant at one of HIAL’s net Energy Positive Building besides learning about the designing process and creatively thinking about secondary applications of SPV installation in a region like Ladakh.
