The Institute of Mental Health and Hospital in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra district has installed a 321.6 kW rooftop solar system with the potential to generate 469,536 units of electricity annually.

The move will help the institution offset a significant portion of its grid power consumption and support its sustainability goals.

The rooftop solar project was commissioned by SunGarner Energies for the hospital, which had an average annual electricity consumption of 1,176,840 units before the installation. The payback period is estimated to be around 5.8 years.

The installation supports the hospital’s sustainability vision by reducing its reliance on conventional electricity sources and lowering its carbon footprint. For public healthcare institutions, rooftop solar systems can provide a practical route to cleaner energy adoption without requiring additional land.

The rooftop system at the hospital uses 585 Wp mono PERC solar modules and string inverters with capacities of 40 kW, 60 kW, 33 kW, 40 kW, 30 kW, 32 kW, and 30 kW. JSW mounting structures were used for the installation.

SunGarner said space constraints were a key challenge in the project, and the team addressed them by optimizing structural drawings to make efficient use of the available rooftop area.

By generating clean power onsite, the hospital can reduce electricity drawn from the grid during solar generation hours. The system also aligns with the growing shift among institutional consumers toward renewable energy to manage energy expenses and meet environmental goals.

Healthcare facilities typically have steady electricity demand for lighting, cooling, medical equipment, administrative blocks, and other critical services. Rooftop solar helps such consumers reduce operational energy costs while advancing sustainability commitments.

Mercom had earlier reported about how a government hospital in Mumbai saved approximately ₹1.2 million (~$12,540) to ₹1.3 million (~$13,585) annually through its 100 kW of rooftop solar systems.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College in Belgaum, Karnataka, also reduced its electricity bill by nearly ₹600,000 (~$6,270) per month by installing a 1 MW solar system.

Mercom India organizes nationwide C&I Clean Energy Meets to bring solar developers and commercial and industrial businesses exploring clean energy adoption onto a common platform. The next event in the series will be held in Hyderabad on August 21, 2026.
