SVKM’s Institute of Pharmacy is discharging its responsibilities towards sustainable development. various measures are in practice as measures of alternate source of energy
Figure. Indicatives and measures for energy conservation
1. Roof top Solar Panel
To ensure maximum power savings, institute has installed photo voltaic solar panels (Total capacity of solar panels: 72 Kw) on the terrace. This panels concentrate solar energy to convert into electrical energy to fulfill need of the building. Solar PV system is connected to main electricity grid. Almost entire day time need of electricity is fulfilled by this renewable energy source. Following datasheet shows overall capacity of solar panels at SVKM, Dhule campus:

2. Use of LED lights
LED-based energy conservation system is in practice in entire building. Following types of LED lights are there:
