Solar Power in CPSUs/Govt. 913 MW allocated to 13 organizations
Canal Top/Canal Banks 50 MW Canal Top and 50 MW Canal Banks projects allocated in 8 States
Solar Power in Defense 185 MW allocated (150 MW – OFB, 10 MW-BSF, 25 MW - BTL)
Solar Power by NTPC 15000 MW targeted, tenders issued for 2750 MW in 5 States (bundling scheme)
Solar Power by SECI 3600 MW allocated in 6 States, 1690 MW tenders issued
Solar Power installed capacity

Grid Connected Solar Rooftop
2526 MW allocated, 152 MW installed
Solar systems installed on rooftops of residential, commercial, institutional & industrial buildings :
premises. Electricity generated could be -fed into the grid at regulated feed-in tariffs or -used for self consumption with net-metering
approach
Germany, USA , Italy, Japan, China are leaders in adopting grid-connected SPV Rooftop systems.
Germany has highest PV installed capacity of over 39.5 GW of which 70% is in rooftop segment (as on 31.12.2015).
China has 37.95 GW solar power of which 6.25 GW is from distributed generation.
Italy has 12.7 GW PV installation with over 60% rooftop systems
FIT is norm in Europe while net-metering is popular in USA.
Savings in transmission and distribution losses
Low gestation time
No requirement of additional land
Improvement of tail-end grid voltages and reduction in system congestion with higher self-consumption of solar electricity
Local employment generation
Reduction of power bill by supplying surplus electricity to local electricity supplier
About 10 sq.m area per kWp capacity
Cost about Rs.75,000 per kWp
The roof should be shadow free and south facing
Can be installed on slanting, plain and curved roofs
Regulation of SERC, State policy and DISCOMs cooperation for grid connectivity
Initial cost Rs.75,000 per kWp
Cost of electricity generation about Rs.6.50 per kWh
Most of commercial, industrial and Government establishments pay about Rs.8-10 per kWh
Hence the solar rooftop is economically viable

Ministry is implementing a ‘Grid Connected Rooftop and Small
Solar Power Plants Programme’ since 26th June, 2014.
Plant size ranges from 1 kWp to 500 kWp and 1 kW solar
rooftop system requires about 10 sq.m. roof area
Benchmark costs of Grid connected solar rooftops(with out
battery) is about Rs. 75,000/kWp. A subsidy of 30% is provided
for general category and 70% for special category States, NE
States and Islands.
No subsidy is provided for establishments under private and
industrial sector.
16 States have come out with Solar Policy supporting grid connected rooftop systems :
Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Manipur, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal.
Remaining 20 States/UTs have to come out with Solar Policy supporting grid connected rooftop systems
Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Sikkim, Tripura, Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Delhi & Puducherry.

*State wise achievement of SECI included against each State. As on today over 162 MWp rooftop installations have been done
The existing financial outlay of Rs. 600 crore during 12th Plan period up-scaled to Rs. 5,000 crore for implementation upto 2019-20.
Existing pattern of capital subsidy at the rate of upto
30% for the general category States and upto 70% for North Eastern States including Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Lakshadweep, Andaman & Nicobar Islands) retained.
No subsidy for commercial and industrial establishments in the private sector.
The Government Institutions including public sector undertakings shall not be eligible for subsidy; instead they be given achievement-linked incentives/awards.
Installation as per MNRE standards for ◦ Solar Modules
◦ Inverters
◦ Structure
◦ Wiring
◦ Safety arrangements
◦ Fuses
Interconnection with grid as per CEA regulation
Metering and Billing as per the SERC regulations
Technical specifications of equipment as per international standards published by MNRE
Reference to Net Metering regulation and policy ◦ 26 states has published their net metering regulations ◦ 16 states has come out with their policy for promotion of rooftop
Sustainable Business Models ◦ Industrial & Commercial ◦ Government ◦ Institutions ◦ Residential
Lack of knowledge , Information and financial incentives to customers about these systems
Developer risk as the sector is new and lack of well established developers with proven track record
Risk with distribution companies (DISCOMS) Lack of trained manpower Little long-term operation and maintenance expertise with
rooftop owners & developers
Eligibility for GCRT installation in state Does the state regulations
allows grid connection of rooftop solar projects?
Availability of capacity addition at Distribution Transformer
Prefeasibility study Solar resource assessment Roof structural integrity Shading analysis System sizing Cost calculations Requirements of permits/
clearances/ approvals from various authorities (if any)
• Quality check Quality standards and
certifications for the system components as per MNRE standards
• Project Annual Maintenance contract AMC agreement for the
first 5-10 years
• Performance monitoring Remote generation
monitoring
• Policy incentives Central or state subsidy
• Insurance arrangement (if any)
Lack of availability of attractive project debt ◦ Causes for the situation were cited as:
Low sensitization of banks Lack of standard bank processes/protocols for rooftop solar lending
Educating bank officials, especially outside of head offices or regional head offices (for instance, local branches)
There is a general expectation of different financing routes for different project sizes and types: ◦ Small projects, especially for residential and small commercial
consumers are expected to be financed through consumer loans ◦ Large projects such as for large commercial and industrial
consumers are expected to be financed through project finance routes; it is not clear how this can be different for banks or NBFCs or other lenders
Clarity is required on the process and related details required by MNRE for subsidy disbursement through banks
Policy uncertainties at national-level hindering sectoral progress Hybrid Solar PV system with battery storage may also be
considered Need for organizing 2-3 days extensive training programmes at
regional-level covering policy, regulatory and technical aspects of Grid-connected Rooftop Solar PV power plants
List of Third-Party inspectors which may be used by the Banks Standardize process of verification to be adopted for inspection
of the rooftop SPV power plants There is a need to develop a standardized checklist to guide
banks in streamlining their project lending process Bank manual may be provided by MNRE with step-by-step
process/checklist and quality standards to aid in assessment of loan applications
The regulatory framework is needed for setting up of the projects, operation of net-metering mechanism and providing connections with distribution line. The remaining States/UTs i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Telangana, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura should also notify regulations.
Electricity Distribution Companies may develop transparent mechanism for speedy approval of net-metering and connectivity.
The regulatory framework needs to be effectively followed by DISCOMs in those States where the regulations have been notified.
States may consider amending suitable building bye-laws to make the solar rooftops compulsory.
Although RBI has notified renewable sector under Priority Sector Lending, it needs to be made effective at the branch level to ease the lending to the borrowers.
Issue Governments orders to ask Urban Local Bodies
to make solar rooftop mandatory in building bye-laws.
Provide rebate on property tax.
Ensure capacity building of concerned State Officials
including DISCOMs.
To simplify procedure for installation of solar rooftop
systems preferably through single window clearance
mechanism.
Empanelment of Channel Partners (462nos.)/New Entrepreneur(175nos) /Govt. agencies (16 nos.)
Arrangement of low cost financing from foreign banks like Kfw, World Bank, ADB etc
Development of software “SPIN”
Continuous follow up with all the Ministries/Govt. departments for installation of rooftop solar plants
