The solar installation is also projected to reduce approximately 750 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The system includes an automated high-pressure sprinkler mechanism for solar panel cleaning to maintain operational efficiency.

Radhika Choudary, Co-Founder, Freyr Energy, said solar adoption can significantly reduce operational energy costs for large commercial establishments such as cinemas while supporting sustainability goals.
