Juniper Green Sigma Pvt. Ltd. has developed a 120 MW solar power project in the state of Gujarat, India. This project is expected to displace anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, with an estimated reduction of approximately 275,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) annually. It replaces 300 GWh of clean electricity per year within India’s national grid mix, which is currently dominated by fossil fuel-based generation.
Project Impacts and Benefits
Following extensive engagement and discussions with local stakeholders, the company decided to provide water purification units to various schools around the project site, as access to clean drinking water in the area remains a major challenge. Geographically, the region’s groundwater has extremely high levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), leading to various acute and chronic health issues among students and contributing to high absenteeism.
In response, the company has:
- Installed a 50 LPH RO Plant, PVC water storage tank, and water cooler at Motinagar Primary School, Babsar Village.
- Installed a 250 LPH RO Plant and PVC water storage tank at Bhordu Primary School, Bhordu Village.
- Installed a 50 LPH RO Plant, PVC water storage tank, and water cooler at Bilvaniya Primary School, Bilvaniya Village.
- Installed a 100 LPH RO Plant, PVC water storage tank, and water cooler at Vantdasuka Primary School, Vantdasuka Village.
In total, the company has installed water purification systems with a combined capacity of 450 LPH, supported by 4,000 liters of water storage and 400 liters of water cooling equipment.
Solar Panel Cleaning with Robotic Technology
Water is a fundamental human need and should be accessible to all. Traditional manual cleaning of solar panels consumes significant amounts of water and labor. Since many solar projects are located in dry and drought-prone areas, this approach is unsustainable. To address this, the company adopted waterless robotic cleaning technology for its solar assets. This technology not only eliminates the need for water but also enhances energy production efficiency and reduces operational and maintenance costs.
Project Shruti – Distribution of Bone Conduction Hearing Aids
The company identified several children with special needs suffering from hearing impairments enrolled in special schools under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, a program by the Ministry of Education, located near the 120 MW project. Most of these children did not have hearing aids due to financial constraints. The company then partnered with a manufacturer of bone conduction hearing aids, a technology that allows individuals—even those without ears or those born deaf—to hear without surgery.
Following an official survey conducted with Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan authorities, the company documented children in need of assistance. The distribution event was held on World Hearing Day, March 3, 2023. During the event, the company distributed 63 bone conduction hearing aids to children in need, and the initiative was also recorded in the World Hearing Forum by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Price: Start from $17/tCO2e
