The Challenge

The clienta student hostel offering compact apartment livingfaced mounting electricity expenses. With the demand for affordable housing on the rise, reducing operational costs was essential to ensure the long-term sustainability and affordability of the accommodation. 

The Solution

oneSolar implemented a SolarEdge system with optimisers, carefully designed to utilise all six sections of the roof. This advanced setup maximised solar energy production while eliminating performance losses typically caused by shading or panel mismatch, ensuring every inch of rooftop space worked efficiently. 

The Outcome

The student hostel now benefits from significantly lower electricity costs, increased energy independence, and improved financial performance. For the landlord, the solar solution delivered immediate tax advantages and a stronger return on investment, proving that turning rooftop real estate into energy assets is a powerful step toward cost efficiency and sustainability.
