Osias Colleges
- University Campus PV Install
- System Size: 280.00 kWp
- Completion: 2-May-2023
Project Summary
The Osias College’s solar installation demonstrates how renewable energy can be deployed effectively across a complex educational campus. The project was delivered in multiple phases, spanning several buildings with different roof structures, metering points, and electrical tapping locations. This required careful string design, detailed shading analysis, and disciplined planning to ensure stable output across technically demanding rooftops.
Solaren engineered a grid-tied solar system aligned with the school’s daytime operating schedule, allowing solar generation to offset a significant portion of electricity consumption during class hours without introducing operational complexity. Because campus demand follows a predictable academic timetable, the system was designed to comply fully with updated net metering regulations, maximizing financial return while maintaining regulatory integrity.
Although the return on investment is longer than that of industrial facilities with continuous loads, the benefits are substantial. The school now enjoys lower operating expenses, improved budget predictability, and long-term protection against future tariff increases.
This project highlights the importance of structured design and regulatory discipline, following the principles outlined in Why Every Renewable Energy Solution System Needs Net Metering, where compliance and planning directly influence yield, savings, and long-term performance.
