The Chandigarh Renewable Energy and Science & Technology Promotion Society (CREST) has announced a new tender for the installation of 1.5 megawatts (MW) of rooftop solar systems. This initiative is part of CREST's broader strategy to promote the adoption of renewable energy and enhance sustainability in the region.

The tender invites bids for the supply, installation, and commissioning of rooftop solar systems across various buildings and facilities. By targeting 1.5 MW of capacity, CREST aims to significantly increase the contribution of solar power to the local energy mix, supporting environmental goals and reducing reliance on conventional energy sources.

The installation of these solar systems is expected to bring numerous benefits, including reduced electricity costs for participants, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and a greater overall commitment to clean energy. The projects will also help advance local and national renewable energy targets.

Bidders are required to meet specific technical and financial criteria, ensuring that the selected contractors have the capability to deliver high-quality solar installations. The successful bidders will be responsible for the complete lifecycle of the solar systems, from installation to maintenance.

This tender reflects CREST's ongoing efforts to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy technologies and promote energy efficiency. The successful implementation of these rooftop solar systems will contribute to Chandigarh's goal of increasing its renewable energy footprint and advancing its sustainability initiatives.

Overall, CREST's tender for 1.5 MW of rooftop solar systems is a significant step towards enhancing the region's renewable energy capabilities and supporting a transition to cleaner energy sources.
