    If you want to undertake rooftop solar business, you need to register with the discom (electricity distribution company) where you want to operate. As per the PM Surya Ghar scheme norms, only the registered solar vendors can undertake residential rooftop solar installations. The consumers can get subsidies for rooftop solar projects under the PM Surya Ghar scheme only if they get their installations done by registered vendors only. The National Rooftop Portal maintains a list of all the registered solar vendors who are undertaking these installations. For getting registered with the local discom, these companies also need to pay annual fees to them to get their registrations done.

    On an average it takes one to two months to complete the whole process from your application to the commissioning of the rooftop solar system. However, the real time depends on the state where you live, the proactiveness of the electricity company (discoms) in the region in granting required permissions and the service quality of your solar vendor. In some states like Gujarat, where the whole system is faster, the connections are done within 20 days to one month. We need to keep in mind that in rooftop solar connections, while the solar installation will be done by the vendor, electricity companies handle the issue of installation of net-meters, its testing and final commissioning.

    The delay could be primarily at two end-one at the solar vendor end and other at the discom-level end. As per consumers’ feedback, sometimes solar vendors delay the installation of the project due to lack of manpower or availability of raw materials while several times discoms delay the process in inspection of the rooftop system post installation, installation of net-meters, testing of meters and final commissioning of the project. However, several state electricity regulators are now issuing directives to streamline the process.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actually running a subsidized rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers where the consumers can get upto Rs 78,000 subsidies for installting rooftop solar. However, they have to bear the upfront cost on their own at the time of installation. There are other subsidized solar schemes too like PM-KUSUM where farmers get solar pumps with subsidy support.

    Solar structures are usually the strucutures on which the solar systems rest. So it is very important to ensure that they are high quality. It is because a low quality and low width structures cannot withstand high wind speeds and may even break. So when you are investing for a rooftop solar, you need to ask your vendors for a quality and strong solar structures to make your whole system more stiff and strong to fight against strong winds, rains and other challenges.

    Usually in a residential rooftop project, a 3 Kw rooftop solar can ideally generate upto 10-12 units per day. The daily generations are usually dependent on the local weather. Usually when there is good sunlight throughout the day, you can get the best generation (if your solar panels are clean). During clouds, rains, the generations reduces. So a system which can generate around 12 Kw per day can also generate 5 kw or 7 Kw during clouds/rains. The generation also varies season to season, depending on the quality of sunlight and availaility of sunlight.
