Aiming to slash power bills, the St Sebastian’s Higher Secondary School, Anicadu, near Muvattupuzha, is all set to go solar way. The school, which is already famous for its eco-friendly initiatives, will soon become a totally solar-powered school in the district.
School principal Sr Basiya said the plan was to set up a total solar electric system. The project is being planned by the alumni association of the school as part of its golden jubilee celebrations. The project will be implemented in a phased manner and it is expected that after completion of the project, the school will only have to depend on solar energy for its energy needs. In the first phase, the science block, that includes 13 class rooms, two computer labs and a science lab, will be solar powered. “As per plans, 10,000 units will be generated by the solar system in the first phase. The estimated cost for the first phase is `10 lakh,” she added.
