‘Keeps cost low, helps environment’: Bengaluru apartments opt for solar panel due to rise in tariff

BENGALURU: In view of the increase in power tariff by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission, apartments in Bengaluru are opting for solar panels to save both money and the environment.

This comes after the state government earlier this month had announced an over 5 per cent surge in power tariff.

“It really helps us because they are raising electricity bills. After doing a detailed analysis of this plan we formed a subcommittee within our apartment. It makes more sense now when the electricity price is going up,” said Vishnu, Bangalore Apartments’ Federation Secretary for Whitefield 1 and 2 clusters.
