this is a great initiative not only to save cost but use renewaeable energy. it is environment friendly and a long term solution. i am sure if we replace the use of lighting up the common areas of the building, it will have a long term psotive benefit.
is there anyone who can help with a solution, please contact me, i am on the board of one of the buildings and would like to suggest the same if it is viable for our building.
