A Checkpost in Rajasthan Now Runs on Solar
Kuriyaberi village, Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan
Kuriyaberi is a small village in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer district, where some areas were still without grid electrification. Su-Kam installed solar at a government checkpost there, bringing reliable power to a remote desert posting that would otherwise depend on a diesel generator.
Jaisalmer is one of the sunniest places in India, which makes off-grid solar a near-perfect fit: panels, a Solar PCU and a battery bank keep the lights, fans and communications running around the clock, with no fuel to haul across the desert.
Installations like this showed solar replacing diesel in exactly the places the grid forgot — the practical, unglamorous wins that defined Kunwer Sachdev's approach to rural and government solar.
