Project Details
At Keshi Apartments in Donholm, the client approached us with a clear objective: to transition the apartment’s common area power supply from total grid reliance to a cleaner and more reliable solar energy solution. Their main concern was the rising electricity bills and unreliable grid supply, which affected essential services such as security lighting and surveillance. The goal was not just energy savings but also improved resilience during blackouts — and to keep the apartment safe, functional, and visually appealing, day or night.
