Adopting solar power and harbouring electricity is considered a best practice for being environmentally responsible while cutting costs. Power major company BSES Rajdhani announced its 'net-metering’ initiative in order to produce solar energy a few years back which was well received by Delhi University and its constituent colleges. Solar energy is one of the easy ways to cut down electricity costs at institutions. In India, we receive around 300 days of sunshine a year. Compared to the rest of the world, we are in the driver’s seat to utilize a large portion of the sun’s energy.
