Bihar Railway Empanels Firms for Rooftop Solar

The Bihar Railway has taken a significant step towards promoting renewable energy by empanelling firms for the installation of rooftop solar systems. This initiative underscores the railway's commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint. By empanelling firms for rooftop solar projects, the Bihar Railway aims to harness solar energy to power its operations, thereby reducing its dependence on conventional sources of electricity and contributing to environmental conservation.

Additionally, the adoption of rooftop solar systems is expected to lead to cost savings for the Bihar Railway in the long run, as solar energy offers a renewable and cost-effective alternative to grid electricity. Moreover, rooftop solar installations can help improve energy efficiency and resilience, especially in remote or off-grid locations where access to electricity may be limited.

Overall, the empanelment of firms for rooftop solar projects by the Bihar Railway represents a significant milestone in its efforts to embrace renewable energy and transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly mode of operation. As the railway moves forward with its solar initiatives, it is poised to set an example for other transportation authorities across the country to follow suit and adopt clean energy solutions.
