About Solar rooftop scheme
• What is a Grid Connected Rooftop Solar PV System?
• In grid connected rooftop or small solar photovoltaic (SPV) system,
the DC power generated from solar panel is converted to AC power
using power conditioning unit/Inverter and is fed to the grid.
Operating modes of grid connected rooftop solar PV system can be
explained
• What are the main components of a Grid Connected Rooftop Solar
PV system?
• Solar PV Modules/Solar Panels – The Solar PV modules/Solar Panels convert
solar energy to DC (direct current) electrical energy. They are available in
different technologies such as crystalline silicon, thin film silicon, CIGS, CdTe, HIT,
etc. Crystalline Silicon Solar PV panels are most commonly used in solar rooftop
system. Multiple panels are connected together to form arrays as per the desired
capacity of the system.
• Inverter- Inverter converts variable DC output of Solar PV panels into AC power.
Inverter also synchronizes with the grid so that generated power from the
module can be injected into the grid.
• Balance of system- These consist of cables, switchboards, junction boxes,
earthing system, circuit breaker, fuses, lightning protection system, etc.
• Module mounting structure- The module mounting structure, is the support
structure that holds the Solar PV panels in place for full system life and is exposed
to all weather conditions. These are normally fixed at particular angle and
orientation in case of solar rooftop system. But these can also be of type that
tracks the Sun, called as trackers.
• Bi-direction Meters- Meters are used to record the generation or consumption of
electricity. Bi-direction (or Net-Meters) are used to keep track of the electricity
that solar PV system injects to utility grid and the electricity that is drawn from
the utility grid.
• How much area is required for a 1 kWp rooftop Solar PV system?
A 1 kW rooftop system generally requires 10 sq. Metres of shadow-free area.
However, actual area requirement may vary depending on the efficiency of solar
module, and their placement etc.
• Why do I need shadow-free area for modules?
Solar modules (and cells within) need uninterrupted sunlight to produce maximum
electrical energy. With the shadow even on a part of the module, the generation
reduces to a great extent thereby wasting installed system capacity. Also, prolonged
(regular, though intermittent) shadow on some cells or modules reduces their life
substantially and these become useless much before their standard life of over 25
years.
• What types of roofs are suitable for Rooftop solar (RTS) system?
Rooftop solar PV systems can be installed on any type of roof having sufficient load
bearing capacity.
• What is the daily energy generated from a 1 kWp Solar Power Plant?
On a clear sunny day, 1 kWp solar power plant can generate 4 to 5.5 units in a day.
• Will I get constant / same energy from the RTS all year round?
No, the daily energy generation from the RTS shall be dependent on the
temperature and solar irradiance among other parameters and these may not be
same every day.
• What are the factors affecting generation?
1. Plant Location
2. Quality of equipment used
3. No. Of sunshine hours
4. Workmanship
5. PV module tilt angle and orientation
6. Module Cleaning
7. O&M activities etc.
• Will I get same annual energy from the RTS for all 25 years?
No. On exposure to sunlight and outside environment, the solar module lose their
generation capacity and this is called degradation.
• What are the advantages of Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar System?
1. Saving on electricity bill by the consumer.
2. Utilization of available vacant roof space, no additional land required.
3. Low gestation period.
4. No additional requirement of transmission and distribution (T&D) lines.
5. Reduces T&D losses as power consumption and generation are collocated.
6. Improvement in the tail-end grid voltages and reduction of system congestion.
7. Long term energy and ecological security by reduction in carbon emission.
8. Better management of daytime peak loads by DISCOM/ utility.
9. Meeting of the Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPOs) of obligated entities.
About cost and subsidies
• What is the average cost of grid connected rooftop solar systems?
• The current benchmark cost of grid connected rooftop solar systems can be seen
in notification section at https://solarrooftop.gov.in/notifications/view.
• What are the subsidies/ capital support available from the Government?
• Central financial assistance (or subsidy) is available only for residential sector grid
connected solar rooftop projects only. For other sectors e.g. Govt., institutional,
social, commercial, industrial etc. CFA is not available.
• Central Financial Assistance (CFA)* to Residential sector
•
• CFA @ 40% of benchmark cost or @40 % of tendered rates (whichever is lower)
for capacity up to 3 kWp
• CFA @ 20% of benchmark cost or 20 % of tendered rates (whichever is lower) for
capacity beyond 3 kWp and up to 10 kWp
• CFA @ 20% of benchmark cost or @ 20 of tendered rates (whichever is lower) for
• GHS/RWA capacity up to 500 kWp (limited to 10 kWp per house and total upto
500 kWp)
• For calculation of CFA, the PV plant capacity will be inverter capacity or the PV
module capacity, whichever is lower. For availing CFA, the PV module and cell
shall be manufactured in India only
• Whether residential consumer has to pay the full cost of the system for
residential sector subsidised projects?
No. Consumer has to pay the balance amount after deducting the subsidy (eligible
CFA) from the L1 project cost discovered by the DISCOMs. Advisory on scheme is
also available at
https://mnre.gov.in/img/documents/uploads/file_f1610949591054.pdf
• Is there any Subsidy/Support from State Government?
Information on state subsidies can be seen on the website of the concerned
electricity distribution company. The rooftop solar portals of electricity distribution
companies can be assessed at:

MW from Grid Connected
Rooftop Solar (RTS)
projects.
PM KUSUM SCHEME
• PM-KUSUM(Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthan Mahabhiyan)
Scheme is aimed at ensuring energy security for farmers in India, along with
honouring India’s commitment to increase the share of installed capacity of
electric power from non-fossil-fuel sources to 40% by 2030 as part of Intended
Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs).
Components Of PM KUSUM SCHEME
The PM-KUSUM scheme was launched in 2019 with 3 components
• COMPONENT A
For Setting up of 10,000 MW of Decentralized Grid Connected Renewable Energy Power
Plants on barren land. Under this component, renewable energy based power plants
(REPP) of capacity 500 kW to 2 MW will be setup by individual farmers/ group of farmers/
cooperatives/ panchayats/ Farmer Producer Organisations (FPO)/Water User associations
(WUA) on barren/fallow land. These power plants can also be installed on cultivable land
on stilts where crops can also be grown below the solar panels. The renewable energy
power project will be installed within five km radius of the sub-stations in order to avoid
high cost of sub-transmission lines and to reduce transmission losses. The power generated
will be purchased by local DISCOM at pre-fixed tariff
• COMPONENT B
For Installation of 17.50 Lakh stand-alone solar agriculture pumps.
Under this Component, individual farmers will be supported to install
standalone solar Agriculture pumps of capacity up to 7.5 HP for
replacement of existing diesel Agriculture pumps / irrigation systems in
off-grid areas, where grid supply is not available. Pumps of capacity
higher than 7.5 HP can also be installed, however, the financial support
will be limited to 7.5 HP capacity
• COMPONENT C
For Solarisation of 10 Lakh Grid Connected Agriculture Pumps. Under
this Component, individual farmers having grid connected agriculture
pump will be supported to solarise pumps. The farmer will be able to
use the generated solar power to meet the irrigation needs and the
excess solar power will be sold to DISCOMs at pre-fixed tariff
CENTRAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
(CFA)/ STATE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
Component-A:
Procurement Based Incentive (PBI) @ 40 paise/kWh or Rs. 6.60 lakhs/MW/year,
whichever is less, will be provided for the first five years by MNRE to DISCOMs, for
buying the power from farmers/developers
Component-B & C:
