Selco Solar Light Pvt Ltd has reportedly launched a solar-powered solution to help the frontline healthcare workers in rural areas.
A solar panel has been installed on top of mobile swab collection van for the benefit of healthcare workers from Kundapur taluk of Udupi district.
75 watt solar panel installed on top of the van can power two fans, a mobile charging unit, and a torchlight. These basic facilities provide some amount of relief to the frontline healthcare workers.
“Such mobile swab collection units are doing a great job in rural areas. However, they have to work with the vehicle parked under the sunlight for long hours during the summer months,” said Guruprakash Shetty, Assistant General Manager of Selco Solar Light Pvt Ltd, speaking to BusinessLine.
Selco Solar is ready to associate with those willing to implement such solutions for frontline healthcare workers in rural and urban areas, said Shetty.
Shetty speaking to the publication said “such a facility can also be provided for healthcare workers at border check-posts. Selco Solar can also provide such solutions to frontline healthcare workers in urban areas, in cases where swabs are collected in kiosks kind of set-ups, he said.”
Selco Solar is installing solar panels to mobile swab collection vans under its village care programme.
