The highest number of installed rooftop solar net metering connections (about 6,900) is in the domestic category, followed by 1,771 commercial, nearly 1,000 educational, 165 industrial and 240 other types, said a BSES spokesperson.

Nearly 125 residential societies have opted for rooftop solar with a load of 5.5 MWp. Every kilowatt (kW) of rooftop solar power generates about 100-120 units of electricity every month, and the system's cost can be recovered in three to four years, the official said.
