A case study of implementing solar powered infrastructure with grid connectivity, exemplifying the integration of renewable energy solutions in healthcare facilities. The study examines the design, implementation, benefits, and challenges faced during the transformation of a conventional energy based hospital into a sustainable, eco-friendly institution. By leveraging solar photovoltaic (PV) technology and grid-tied systems, the hospital achieves significant energy and financial savings, reduced carbon emissions, and enhanced energy resilience. The findings from this case study provide valuable insights for healthcare institutions seeking to adopt sustainable practices and contribute to a greener future.
