Bhutan Solar Initiative Project (BSIP)
Bhutan Solar Initiative Project (BSIP) aims towards achieving a sustainable energy supply for Bhutan through alternative renewable energy sources of solar grid integration. About 60 De-suups
The project included the installation of Rooftop Solar PV at Centenary Farmer's Market (CFM) and Ground Mounted Solar Panels at Dechencholing in Thimphu. The first phase of the project completed in May-June, last year.
Bhutan Solar Initiative Project (BSIP) aims towards achieving a sustainable energy supply for Bhutan through alternative renewable energy sources of solar grid integration. About 60 De-suups have been actively involved in th is six-month long project and have gained practical knowledge of installing solar PV systems through hands-on experience.
The implementation of solar PV systems, as a climate mitigation effort, have a significant positive impact on the environment, as it is a form of renewable energy generation with the least climate impact.
The first phase of the project completed in May-June, last year. In total, there are 393 panels at CFM and 784 solar panels at Dechencholing project site, generating approximately, 380000KW hour units in the last 7 months, generating an income of roughly Nu. 2.7 million. One panel can light about 32 light bulbs (of 20watt).
