Su-Kam Aims to Empower With Solar Village Lives

Kunwer Sachdev, the visionary Managing Director of Su-Kam, has long been dedicated to the cause of empowering the underprivileged, especially in rural India. His commitment to improving the lives of those without reliable access to electricity has driven much of his work and Su-Kam’s success. Notably, he was the first to develop DC solar systems in India, an innovative solution that could light small homes at an affordable price. This breakthrough made solar energy accessible to a wider range of people, even those in remote and economically disadvantaged areas.

Sachdev’s foresight in developing these budget-friendly solar systems revolutionized how rural communities approached energy consumption. His R&D efforts, along with his dedicated team, played a pivotal role in making solar energy a viable alternative to conventional power sources in regions where the electrical grid was either absent or unreliable. This work has not only helped illuminate homes but also enabled significant improvements in the quality of life, from education to healthcare.

The documentary released by Su-Kam further underscores Sachdev’s relentless drive to solarize rural India, showcasing the transformation of communities through sustainable energy solutions. His vision has brought solar power to over 40,000 households and has had a lasting impact on the lives of many, highlighting the importance of solar technology in bridging the energy divide. His efforts in developing cost-effective solar solutions are a testament to the innovation and social responsibility that lie at the heart of his soul.
