BCCP is carrying out the assignment for IDCOL on promoting Solar Rooftop System in the highly energy consuming manufacturing industries. The objective of this assignment is to ensure IDCOL Rooftop Solar Project visibility among the industrialists and potential project sponsors through print and social media.

It is hoped that the promotion of IDCOL Solar Rooftop will have a considerable impact on the energy use and practice by the highly energy consuming manufacturing industries and they will opt for more solar energy and reduce their energy use from traditional source. Thus, it would contribute to the overall energy efficiency of the country.
