BACKGROUND
Total installed capacity of the country is 302 GW
Renewable Energy contributes 43 GW (~14%) of the total installed capacity, out of which Solar Energy share is over 7 GW (~16.2%)
Solar energy now represents 2.5% of total installed power capacity in India, up from 1.4% a year ago

Category 1: Rooftop Projects
(Target- 40 GW)
Category 2: Large Scale Projects
(Target- 60 GW)

6. BENEFITS FOR SOLAR POWER PROJECTS
Accelerated Depreciation:
For Solar Projects Industrial and Commercial consumers can claim 80% of Depreciation of Solar Assests in the first year itself
Capital subsidy
Govt. of India is giving 30% - 70% capital subsidy on Rooftop type of projects depending on the location. Applicable for rooftops other than Industrial and Commercial buildings.
Net metering
For rooftop type of projects almost all states of India have Net – metering policy in place.
Financing : Soft loans
IREDA provides debt at low cost for the Solar Power projects.
For residential rooftop government provides soft loans.
Reduction in Power cost
As the Power generation cost by has reduced drastically, it can compete with present Industrial and Commercial tariffs in many states of the country.

10. CHALLENGES FOR SOLAR POWER ROOFTOP PROJECTS
EXCISE & CUSTOMS DUTY BENEFITS:
Not possible for smaller size projects as bought out items.
CHANGE OF LAW – GST
Might increase the cost of components making it a bit non – competitive.
AD BENEFIT
As per notification from FY 2017 – 18 AD benefit would be reduced to 40%.
DEMAND AND FORECASTING
Very difficult to forecast and this will pose the Grid management issue to regulators. Battery storage and hybrid systems.
PPA – Terms
Life of Building / rooftop is less than 25 years and PPA can’t be estimated at 25 years and therefore higher cost of generation compared to Ground mounted.

11. CHALLENGES FOR SOLAR POWER ROOFTOP PROJECTS
DEBT FOR ROOF TOP PROJECTS
In some cases cost of documentation and due diligence is more so banks don’t prefer to lend for projects less. Govt. should define processes for roofop projects.
SKILLED LABOUR
ITIs should start with crash course, else execution quality deteriorates and overall project performance.
COMPETITIVE AND COST SENSITIVE
Lot of players have emerged with limited expertise. Tend to quote low and then the client and project suffers
NET METERING – SOLAR POLICY
Non – uniform across the states wherein some allow banking, few have limit to 1MWp, multiple locations allowed or not.
OPEN ACCESS – CAPTIVE & THIRD PARTY
Not much clarity in Grid code for Industrial rooftops connecting to their own load along with Forecasting and Demand management.
