Atanga Girls Secondary Solar Installation


Atanga Girls, the largest in the current SPEA program with 443 students, is located in a secluded area in Pader without access to the grid. The school operates entirely on solar PV, powering classrooms and boarding sections. However, the system cannot meet the school’s energy needs because it is old, and replacing some components has not been possible due to cost constraints.

Who benefits

What is done

  • Installation of 2 new Photovoltaic AC/DC systems [AC1.75kw] and DC OF 350w.
  • The systems supports the boarding facilities, classroom and light up the compound and run the administration office.

When

  • Installation, replacement and training was completed in February 2026
