Pakistan gets its first proper Solar Institute

Pakistan is a country where there are lot of energy alternatives can be produced, especially the utilization of solar technology can dramatically reduce the ongoing energy deficit in the country but sadly no remarkable development can be seen in this regard, neither by the govt nor by private side. But it seems that finally we have rightly accessed the need of this very technology owing to the monstrously increasing energy crises giant. In this regard, the first proper and full scaled solar institute has been established by the private sector in Lahore in order to provide solar expertise across the country. The institute will produce not only solar specialists in the country but will deliver its expertise in providing solar services and solutions and other consultancy related to the technology. Director Solar Institute Engineer Faiz Muhammad Bhutta told App on Monday that a solar lab and workshop equipped with modern technologies had also been established in the institute that will provide the training expertise to the desired students. He said it has become the need of the hour to establish such entities on public and private level to provide solar education and training that meet the requirements of the increasing demands of the energy. Threeday, Fiveday, Monthly and six month based courses had been introduced in the institute in which training in the sectors of solar installation, operation, maintenance, design, solar cells, business program, engineering and solar standards would be provided. A couple of days back, govt has also announced to initiate the solar programme on wider level in which the solar panel owner can also provide the generated electricity to the national grid via net metering and in this way the electricity bills can drastically be minimized and also the menace of load-shedding can be be curbed bug time.
