PHP to set up two 1740 KW roof-top solar panels

CHATTOGRAM, Sept 10: The leading industry group PHP family has taken an initiative to generate its own electricity by installing solar panels on the roofs of its textile mills and steel mills.
In the initial phase, solar panels with a total capacity of 1740 KW will be installed in these two mills to generate about 2000 MW of electricity annually. As a result, around 1100 tonnes of carbon emissions will be reduced.
Shafiqur Rahman Khan, an official of PHP Family, said in the future, they will install solar panels on the roofs of other institutions as well. By doing this, it will be possible to meet a significant part of the total electricity demand of the company from its own sources.
Shahriar Ahmed Chowdhury, director of United International University's Energy Research Center and renewable energy expert, welcome the initiative of the PHP family.
He said, solar energy is an environment friendly energy source. Using it reduces carbon emissions and helps reduce the rate of climate change.
