    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.

    Component-A focuses on setting up decentralized, grid-connected solar power plants up to 2 MW capacity each, primarily on barren or unused farmland. These plants help generate clean electricity locally and feed it into the grid.

    ALMM restrictions, effective April 1, apply to almost all solar projects. The only exception they effectively allow is for off grid projects, where you are not using the grid at all. Captive projects, since they are connected to the grid, are not exempt anymore.

What Are Micro-inverters? Are they more efficient than other inverters? If yes, why don’t more people use them?

    Answer on April 9, 2024 at 5:56 am

    Microinverters are more efficient than other inverters because they can harvest 5–20% more energy than string systems, and the efficiency of one panel doesn't affect the others.
