Solar Rooftop Scheme Latest Update
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has directed to simplify the solar rooftop scheme. Under new directions, households can now select a vendor of their choice. Earlier, only the installations by listed vendors were eligible. Households will be required to inform the DISCOM about the installation along with a photograph while the DISCOM has to ensure netmetering within 15 days of application. Also, the subsidy has to be credited by DISCOM within 30 days of the installation.
The government of India provides subsidy of 40 percent for capacity up to 3 KW, beyond which and till 10 KW the subsidy is 20 percent. On an average, 1 kWp solar power plant can be developed over rooftop area of about 10 sqm, while 1 kWp solar power plant can generate 4 to 5.5 units in a day. With the installation, DC power generated from solar panel is converted to AC power using power conditioning unit/Inverter and is fed to the grid. Power generated from SPV panels during the day time can be utilized for powering captive loads and for feeding excess power to the grid.
