ALTERNATE SOURCES OF ENERGY AND ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES
Natural resources that regenerate themselves over time without depleting Earth's
resources are the source of renewable energy. These resources also have the advantages of being abundant, accessible almost everywhere, and causing little to no environmental harm. Examples include solar, wind, and thermal energy that is accumulated in the Earth's crust For comparison, fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas are not renewable because their supply is limited and they can no longer be used as an affordable source of energy after they have been taken. Although these fuels are produced by natural processes, these processes are too slow to renew them as quickly as people utilize them, thus eventually these sources will exhaust themselves.
Reliable power supplies and fuel diversity from renewable energy increase energy security, decrease the chance of fuel leaks, and lessen the need for imported fuels. Additionally, renewable energy aids in protecting the nation's natural resources.
In light of the aforementioned, the college is also making efforts to increase the usage of renewable energy. The various renewable energy sources used on college campuses will be briefly introduced in the following document.
Our Institution has the following Alternate energy conservation facilities:
Solar Panels.
Solar Water Heater.
Solar Street light.
Bio gas Plant.
Smarter Water Management With IOT
Smart Automatic Bell Management system.
Use of LED Bulbs.
Use of Light Sensors

SOLAR ELECTRICITY
Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
