The Switch on Solar project started as ‘Schools on Solar’ back in 2018 as an initiative led by Centre for Environmental Research and Education (CERE), India, with the vision is to combine opportunities for students and teachers to learn about environmental issues along with solar panel installation, so that schools reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. This project will help institutions reduce their energy bills which can later be reinvested in other essential institutional aids. We aim to reach out to as many institutions as possible.  Our efforts to raise awareness and education led the project to expand to include offices and hospitals.
