The Challenge: Scaling Sustainable Energy in Kerala

The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) embarked on an ambitious mission to revolutionize rooftop solar adoption through its Soura project. However, they faced formidable challenges:

  • Daunting task of conducting feasibility surveys for 3 lakh homes across Kerala

  • Complex process of obtaining consumer consent and agreements for shortlisted candidates

  • Need for real-time project management and coordination among multiple stakeholders

  • Lack of a centralized system for data collection, analysis, and progress monitoring

  • Imperative to integrate the new solar initiatives with existing KSEB operations

  • Urgency to expedite project implementation while maintaining accuracy and transparency

Grappling with the complexities of mass surveying, consumer engagement, and project management in an unprecedented renewable energy initiative.
