Four Hours of Grid. Four Brainy Eco Boxes. A Sub-District Hospital in Anantnag.
The company blog titled it Jammu. The body named Anantnag. The kit was four Brainy Eco 1100s — not a 10 kW roof.

1. What the 25 December 2016 post actually said
By Kunwer Sachdev (Founder & Managing Director, 1988–2018)
The headline said twenty hours of daily power cuts made a hospital in Jammu install solar. The body is more precise. The site is Sub District Hospital, Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir. Grid for 4 to 5 hours a day. The rest was diesel, and diesel was expensive.
The hospital needed its basic light load for 24 hours. Management wanted a long-term answer and less generator fuel. December in the valley still had about ten hours of daylight, the post said. They called the authorised distributor in Jammu, Mr. Nisar of Shah Agency. After inspection he specified four separate Brainy Eco kits, one department at a time — not one big PCU for the whole building.
From that post, not from a later catalogue: four Su-Kam Brainy Eco 1100; with each box, three 100 W panels and a 150 Ah solar battery. Each kit about 2 to 3 units a day, sized to run ten tubelights. Brainy Eco is an intelligent off-grid box that can run on solar or mains. Select grid priority and the load takes mains when it is there and the battery charges from mains; the rest of the time solar has priority. Select solar priority and you use the sun first. That is the product I had put in the market. Mr. Zuber Ahmed, senior engineer at the hospital, is quoted: they came after satisfactory feedback, discussed it with Mr. Nisar, installed four Brainy Ecos, and they were working.
Why this is not the Warangal roof
Warangal in 2013 was a 10 kW rooftop on a named nursing home. Anantnag in 2016 was four small hybrid UPS kits on lighting circuits. Same hospital problem — the grid will not stay up — different SKU. I will not mash them into one “hospital solar” number.
