The success of decentralized solar power generation largely depends on the public policy. On the same lines, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched a National Portal for Rooftop Solar, which will enable online tracking of the process of installation of rooftop solar plants for individual customers or households. The portal will keep a track of entire process beginning from registering the applications to release of subsidy in residential consumers’ bank account after installation and inspection of the plant.

The Programme will benefit more than 10 lakh households. Promised for some time now, a single window portal of this type is much needed in the solar rooftop space where customers have faced multiple hurdles to fulfil their dreams of harnessing solar power.
