To generate solar power by installing solar panels on the roof of the houses, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is implementing Grid-connected Rooftop Solar Scheme (Phase-II).
- Under this scheme Ministry is providing 40% subsidy for the first 3 kW and 20% subsidy beyond 3 kW and upto 10 kW.
- The scheme is being implemented in the states by local Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOMs).
- Some rooftop solar companies / vendors were found setting up rooftop solar plants by claiming that they were authorized vendors by the Ministry. Later the Ministry clarified that no vendor has been authorized by the Ministry. This scheme is being implemented in the state only by DISCOMs.
