During the current financial year, all efforts to install the balance 9893 SSLs within the remaining time period of two months are being made in the remaining districts of J&K.

The Solar Street Lights, being highly energy efficient, conform to the latest technical specification as per the Ministry’s guidelines, and are equipped with Lithium Batteries for better performance and longer life. The SSLs are fully automatic, and operate from Dusk to Dawn without the requirement of switching ON and OFF. The installation of these SSLs shall help in saving 8.4 units of energy annually resulting in saving of Rs.61.32 lakhs annually. The solarization of J&K by installation of SSLs will contribute towards reduction of 840 tonnes of Co2 emission annually.
