Skyshade Daylight Private Limited works on lighting technologies to reduce carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency.
The MoU was signed on Thursday in the presence of the Union Science Minister Dr Jitendra Singh. He said the project would cost Rs 10 crore, of which Rs 5 crore will be given by TDB.
The proposed technologies harvest huge quantities of sunlight for a building which reduces electrical lighting energy consumption by 70-80 per cent, besides reducing air-conditioning needs. The solar energy spectrum has 45 per cent energy as visible light, and this can be used to harvest building illumination for about 9-11 hours a day. The technology used is completely indigenous, economically viable and easy to deploy, and needs minimal maintenance with longevity.
