Many schools and colleges in India are fast realizing that they can save on electricity bills, and send a positive eco-friendly message to the young minds they nurture by installing solar. While some schools and universities choose to install grid-tie solar to get relief from high electricity bills, others prefer off-grid solar installations.

Many schools in metros opt for Grid-tie solar system. This is a battery-less system that consists of grid-tie inverter and solar panels. This system is maintenance-free and helps in saving money on electricity bills. It is also possible to sell surplus solar energy to state electricity board through grid-tie solar installations.
