April 2013 Andhra Pradesh press collage — The Hindu named a Warangal hospital rooftop in the same package as the petrol pumps
The Hindu, April 2013 — the same cutting that opened the petrol-pump story named a Warangal hospital rooftop still in the pipeline. Hero shared with Episode 4. Not a photograph of Lalitha Nursing Home.

Primary source: recovered company blog, 10 kW Warangal archive (Wayback, 16 April 2013). Sister story: Episode 4 — AP petrol pumps.

1. What the recovered blog actually said

By Kunwer Sachdev (Founder & Managing Director, 1988–2018)

The Hindu’s April 2013 petrol-pump package, in the sidebar, named work still coming: a rooftop solar project for a hospital in Warangal. The paper printed it as 10 kV. That is the cutting. I do not tidy the journalist’s unit.

Eleven days before that Facebook collage went up, the company blog of 16 April 2013 had already named the site. From that post, not from memory: Su-Kam installed a rooftop solar system in Andhra Pradesh, capacity 10 kW, at Parakala Lalitha Nursing Home in Warangal. It ran the hospital load — uninterrupted power, and clean power from the sun. That is the whole technical record. No PCU model. No battery count. No claim I stood in Parkal with a reporter.

Parkal (Parakala) is now in Telangana. In 2013 it was still Andhra Pradesh. The recovered post is filed under Personal Experience on blog.su-kam.com. I was MD. The rooftop line was the product line I had built. The hospital was one more place where a generator was the expensive answer and solar was the one that could sit on the roof.

Why a hospital was a different problem

A petrol pump fails in lost litres. A hospital fails in the dark. The recovered post does not list the wards. It says the system ran the hospital load. That is enough. Later industry copy — including a Saur Energy note on our hospital and village work — put solar into more than ninety hospitals in the North-East after Tripura, where deliveries had been in candlelight. Warangal is not that Tripura programme. Warangal is the named 10 kW roof in the 2013 Andhra record.
