India has set up solar-powered outposts for the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at a location near the Indian-Chinese border, at an altitude of 18,000 feet (5,485 meters). With solar panels covering the rooftops, these outposts now have uninterrupted electricity and heating.
The outposts use PV modules made by Indian manufacturer MicroSun Solar Tech. The company was able to successfully transport and install the panels in spite of the challenges posed by the region's challenging terrain.
