Overview of the project:
To have sustainable and reliable power, Punjab Police decided to opt for solar energy storage. Solarization station eliminated the negative impact of 3-4 hours of power outage experienced by these police stations, especially in rural Punjab. Spread across rural Punjab, the 69 police stations now have uninterrupted access to CCTNs (a centrally operated server system). This helps with the seamless sharing of data across police stations and in turn, serves and protects their citizens around the clock.
System size and capacity:
All critical loads at each police station are connected to a 2.5 kW hybrid solar system. A hybrid solar system generates power in the same way as a common grid-tie solar system but uses special hybrid inverters and batteries to store energy for later use.
Impact:
Solar Power at Punjab Police Station
Apart from providing uninterrupted electricity 24×7 to the police stations, solarisation of these 69 sites will eliminate about 276 tons of Greenhouse emissions annually which is equivalent to planting about 3,000 trees every year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Solarisation in Punjab has removed the problem of persistent power outages, which impacted 3-4 hours daily across rural Punjab police stations. With uninterrupted access to CCTNs today (Central Operated Server System), police stations have a consistent power supply to ensure seamless operations are available for the citizens.
Solarisation has resulted in removing about 276 tons of greenhouse emissions combined with the installed 69 sites. This is equivalent to planting 3000 trees annually.
Energy storage in solar solarisation is done using a hybrid solar system and this uses hybrid inverters and batteries to store extra power for later usage.
