Installation of Rooftop Solar Plants on a large scale is one of the best initiatives, as in such plants, there is no requirement of land, energy is consumed where it is generated there would be no element of transmission loss or wheeling loss and such plants would be in the interest of public at large as well as State Utilities. Therefore, with a view to promote large-scale rooftop solar systems on private residential roofs-terraces, the Government vide its GR dated 31-3-2016 referred above had introduced a subsidy scheme for solar rooftops in the residential sector. As a result of this subsidy scheme, over 50,000 households have taken the benefits of the subsidy scheme under which an aggregate capacity of 180 MW solar rooftops in residential sector have been commissioned.
