Do you find your electricity bill a bit too hefty?

Produce electricity on your rooftop

Set up a Roof Top Solar (RTS) system ASAP.

What is RTS System?

A Roof Top Solar (RTS) system consists of solar panels that generate electricity using sunlight and powers your electrical gadgets. If you have no consumption during the day the power flows into the grid through your service line. A net meter keeps account of the outflow and inflow of electricity to and from the grid. DISCOM bills only the net power displayed in the meter.

Am I Eligible for Net Metering?

A. The Capacity to be installed by the Consumer is limited to the Contract Demand/Load of the Consumer

B. For Consumers using a separate Transformer for their connection, the Solar Plant Capacity is limited to Contract Demand or 75% of Transformer Capacity whichever is less

C. Consumers interested to go for Battery Backup must follow the Single Line Diagram approved by HPERC

How much does it cost?

Consumer category	Solar Plant Capacity*(in kW)	MNRE Benchmark Cost (Rs per kW)*	Subsidy Amount(30% of Benchmark Cost)* (Rs per kW)
Residential/ Institutional	1 kW-10 kW	Rs 60,000	Rs 18,000
	Above 10 kW- 100 kW	Rs 55,000	Rs 16,500

Government	Any Capacity	-	Rs 16,250

*Subsidy is applicable only in the range of 1 kW to 500 kW

*The Subsidy Amount will be 30% of MNRE Benchmark Cost or Project Cost whichever is less.

* Benchmark Cost is as per MNRE Recommendation.However actual project cost depends on agreement between Beneficiary and Vendor

Can’t it be reduced a bit?
