    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.

    Discoms offer different services in a rootop solar connection. For example they give technical feaibility report for your syatem (for connections uptp 10kw it is automated now). They also are involved in installation of net-meters. However they mainly act as quality control mechanism. Post installation, discoms check the system for safety like wiring, earthing and others which can ensure that the consumer and grid are safe with the new connection and there is no defiance in the new connections against the prescribed norms.

    When you opt for a on-grid rooftop solar, your conventional meter is changed with a net-meter. These net-meters allow the transfer of surplus solar power generated from your rooftop solar to the grid. It also allows usage of grid electricity when your household power demand is more than solar power generation. These net meters allows the discoms to finally calculate the net use of grid power or solar power and furnish the monthly power bills acccordingly.
