PROJECT CHARTER

Tagline: - You pay LESS MONEY for MORE LIGHT with Solar Street Lights.

Mission:-

MTA Corporation aim “Towards provide alternative solar energy solutions for domestic, industrial and commercial establishments in order to mitigate the energy problems in Pakistan”.

Objectives:-

Solar energy is a very useful renewable source of energy, which may be the answer to the future for power, or energy needs, as global warming seems to pick up rapidly. So, we can all contribute to the environment by using solar energy thus erasing or trimming down various gas emissions, which can endanger earth, in turn, the millions of people in it. By installing solar street lights in the Capital city of Pakistan, it will help to reduce the energy crisis. The installation cost of Solar Street light is less than the Traditional Street lights installing and maintenance cost. So, by installing Solar Street lights, it will help to boost the economy of Pakistan.

Deliverables/ Milestones:-

Less Cost, No electric current is required, high quality solar street lights, easy to maintain, Heavy Duty 1/8 Aluminum with welded seams and rubber mats, Heavy duty front door with stainless steel hinges, gaskets and lockable, No sharp edges on enclosure door, 24 volt 10 amp controller, Field adjustable for on/off times, Settable for gel cell battery charge curve to ensure performance and autonomy, Pulse Width Modulation charge regulation, Factory mounted in battery box, Controller automatically adjusts for seasonal light changes, Extends battery life, reduces deep discharge cycling and enhances autonomy.

Stakeholders’:-

Stakeholders’ of the project are Ministry of Finance, World Bank, UNO, and UNICEF, Project team of MTA Company, CDA, and Government of Pakistan.

5

Assumptions:-

Project will be a successful one, because each stakeholder (Govt. of Pakistan, UN, World Bank) is united and putting their whole lot of efforts to make this project a successful one. Economy will be improved; investors’ will invest and so forth.

Risks:-

Solar electricity and heat are not available at night and also may not be accessible in case of bad weather conditions. So, a solar or complementary power station is required which maybe a problem for many locations.

Solar panels require a large area for installation in order to achieve a good level of efficiency. Besides the solar energy can also be influenced by the presence of water vapor, pollution etc. in the air, which may cause complexities.

Considerable amount of energy is lost when DC (direct current) has to be converted to AC (alternating current). The solar cells can only produce DC, thus the conversion by help of Grid-Tie Inverters incurs a loss of about 4-12%.

Decision Making Process:-

Decision will be taken with the agreement of the stakeholders’ and will be approved by the CEO of the company.
