Norms may be eased for rooftop solar
Mint Mumbai
|January 08, 2024
The slow growth in rooftop solar projects for homes is prompting the power ministry to look at new norms to boost adoption and speed up installation.
-
The need for technical feasibility and prior permissions may be removed, said a person aware of the developments.
"There is no need for technical feasibility and prior permission for setting up rooftop solar at homes. That requirement may not remain mandatory. Further, after the installation of panels, people from discoms are required to visit and set net metering. There should be a timeline for that.
Right now there is no timeline," the person said. In case the timeline is missed, a penalty may be imposed on the distribution company.
The relaxations may be allowed for installations with less than 10 KW capacity, the person added. Currently permissions are required from the power supplier or the discom as well as municipal authorities in some cases.
