The Papua New Guinea College of Know-how becomes the to start with institution in the country to pilot a roof top photo voltaic electricity system for the college.
The rooftop photo voltaic application will be carried out by the universitys Department of Electrical Engineering this calendar year with the set up of solar panels on the departments roof prime to deliver energy for the department.
It is expected that the undertaking will also lengthen to other departments in the close to potential.
The Universitys administration has allotted K300, 000 to the Section to have out the pilot task this yr.
PNG Unitech Vice Chancellor, Dr Ora Renagi stated that the college need to be at the forefront of demonstrating what be completed by utilising the photo voltaic methods that are easily obtainable, and guide the university in chopping down electric power charge.
Our engineering college students and teachers will be engaged in the software to permit our pupils to be well trained for the business, mentioned Dr Renagi.
When these pupils graduate they will also go out and can healthy into their area and supply fantastic solutions to our folks.
We cannot instruct them idea only, nevertheless, with program, students can turn into industry experts of these courses so when they can be engaged by the market to put in solar units all in excess of the region.
Division of Electrical Engineering Performing Head of Office Dr Moses Kavi who will be the lead engineer in the roof best solar plan stated the undertaking will address 889 sq. meters and they be expecting to deliver 190 kilowatts of electrical energy to their division.
He reported with these electrical power, the division can run all its lighting and cooling methods by just working with the solar energy generated.
Dr Kavi claimed the College yearly pays more than K2 million for electrical power and such program if rolled out to other educational building rooftops could substantially help you save cash for the university and governing administration.
He hopes to continue on roll out the method to the Mechanical Engineering and Utilized Physics Departments, and then to other educational structures at the college.
