KLE Academy of Higher Education & Research turned to rooftop solar in 2023 to cut electricity costs, reduce its dependence on the grid, and bring renewable energy into its hospitals and colleges. A year on, the 1 MW system at the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC) campus in Belgaum, Karnataka, is doing just that. It generates approximately 150,000 units of power every month and reduces the electricity bill by nearly ₹600,000 (~$6,812) every month.
