Rooftop solar panels for Telangana Govt schools to be delayed

The installation of rooftop solar panels on government school buildings is likely to get further delayed.

In 2022, the State government had announced plans to install rooftop solar panels over 1,521 school buildings in 12 districts under the ‘Mana Ooru-Mana Badi’ programme. So far, solar panels have been installed on over 500 school buildings and the rest are likely to



take a few more months.

In fact, about 500 schools were supposed to get access to solar energy by March 2023, but due to various reasons it got delayed. According to Telangana State Renewable Energy Development Corporation (TSREDCO) Vice-Chairman and Managing Director N Janaiah, the installation of rooftop solar panels was delayed mainly due to election model code of conduct.
