Moreover, the University’s installation of solar streetlights in the staff parking area further reinforces its commitment to low-carbon energy use. Solar energy is a renewable and clean source of power that produces minimal greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional energy generation methods. The solar streetlights, with a total capacity of 3600W (20 total solar lights x 180W), rely on solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity, providing an eco-friendly lighting solution.
By utilizing solar streetlights, the University reduces its dependence on fossil fuel-based electricity and decreases its carbon footprint. This transition to low-carbon energy sources aligns with SDG 13’s objective of combating climate change and promoting sustainable energy practices. It demonstrates the University’s commitment to adopting clean and renewable energy technologies to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
