Case Study: IIT Mandi achieves accurate campus solar potential estimation with Arka 360

Solar Potential estimation at IIT Mandi

The Indian Institute of Technology Mandi (IIT Mandi) required a solar potential analysis for its vast 538-acre campus featuring 96 buildings. The challenge was the remote topography, which made obtaining high-quality satellite imagery from standard sources impossible. This necessitated an accurate roof site survey to begin the project.

Vendor Arka 360 conducted an aerial drone survey to capture precise data. Using their TSL design studio software, they created detailed 3D models of all campus buildings and performed a comprehensive energy analysis. This solution provided high-precision solar potential estimates, saved a significant amount of time by completing the project in just over a week instead of months, and improved safety by eliminating the need for physical roof inspections. Arka 360 enabled IIT Mandi to efficiently plan for clean energy generation.
