 The Briefing- Client’s Key Requirements
The DPS International School, Gurgaon is an architectural beauty. Naturally, in addition to going
green, the school wanted to preserve it’s look and image. Keeping these two factors in mind the
below briefing was given to Sunkalp:

Fit at least 5% of Façade to remain

Roof to remain
connected load, i.e. 100 untouched, i.e. no visible
untouched, i.e. no drilling
kWp Solar strips or cables

Guaranteed generation
Solar Installation not be
School to not be disturbed despite shadow on roof
visible from outside the
during construction from clock tower, flag and
school
mumtee

™
 Solution
A detailed shadow analysis was done for both the available roofs to prepare an optimized arrangement.

™
 Solution
In order to maximize the capacity in the limited roof area and negate the shadow effect, three
different types of structures were installed at DPS International School:

Single Portrait Double Portrait Ballasted

™
 Solution
Further to ensure proper system safety while keeping in mind that the façade or roof are not
damaged below design elements were included:

Chemical Earthing Use of ESE type LA Design of

with Cu bonded to cover the entire foundations as per
electrodes and spread of system IS 875 to
connection with counteract wind
hidden Cu Cables load without
and GI Strips penetrating the
roof
