The Government of India has taken significant steps in developing and promoting green energy, offering attractive subsidies for rooftop solar installations under MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) scheme. These subsidies promote solar energy more user accessible and affordable for residential, institutional, industrial and other social sector buildings.
However, navigating the subsidy process can seem overwhelming. This blog ensures a step-by-step guide and explains how trusted solar integrators like Bodhie Solar simplify the journey for customers to get subsidy after completion of installation of a solar power plant at their roof top.
Step-by-Step Guide to India’s Rooftop Solar Subsidy Process
1. Eligibility Check
Determine if your property and installation are eligible under MNRE guidelines. Subsidies apply to rooftop systems on residential, institutional, and social sector buildings.
Subsidy Covers:
o Up to 40% for systems up to 3 kW.
o 20% for systems between 3 kW and 10 kW.
2. Choose an Empanelled Solar Vendor
Select an MNRE-approved vendor like Bodhie Solar, which ensures compliance with quality standards, system performance benchmarks and incomparable after sales support and assistance.
- System Design and Approval
o Conduct a site survey to assess your energy needs.
o Submit your application through the vendor, including system design, estimated costs, and technical details for approval.
- Installation and Inspection
o The installation is carried out by certified professionals.
o Post-installation, a local discom (distribution company) official inspects and verifies the system for compliance with the scheme’s standards.
5. Net-Metering Application
Apply for net-metering through your discom to ensure surplus energy produced is fed back to the grid, allowing you to earn credits.
6. Release of Subsidy
Once the system is approved and operational, MNRE directly transfers the subsidy to the empanelled vendor, reducing the final payable amount for the customer.
