 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 ).  China has 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.6.00 per kWh  Most of commercial, industrial and Government establishments pay about Rs per kWh  Hence the solar rooftop is economically viable

 The existing financial outlay of Rs. 600 crore during 12 th Plan period up-scaled to Rs. 5,000 crore for implementation upto  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 ◦ 27 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
