GHMC Solar Footpath Project: GHMC has taken a big step towards smart infrastructure of the city by starting the Model Solar Footpath Project in Filmnagar and Jubilee Hills area. Under this innovative project, solar panels are being installed on the footpath, which will provide safe passage to pedestrians and will also generate clean energy. The electricity generated from these panels will be used in street lights, CCTV and other smart features.
Hyderabad: Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has launched an innovative model footpath project in Filmnagar and Jubilee Hills area. The objective of this project is not only to increase the safety and convenience of pedestrians, but also to bring together environmental protection and modern technology.
Solar powered footpath: A solar shade is being installed over this footpath, which will generate up to 10 kilowatts of clean electricity. This will provide relief to pedestrians from sun and rain and will also benefit the environment.
Constructed from recycled plastic: Instead of traditional tiles, this sidewalk is being made from recycled plastic paver blocks. This will reduce the plastic waste going to landfill.
