Delhi Solar Portal launched to empower citizens as ‘Prosumers’

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi unveiled the 'Delhi Solar Portal,' a single-window platform aimed at simplifying rooftop solar panel installations for city residents. The initiative allows Delhiites to become 'prosumers'—power consumers who generate surplus solar energy.

Speaking at the Delhi Secretariat, Atishi highlighted the portal's role in achieving the AAP government's target of 750 MW rooftop solar power generation, as outlined in the solar policy introduced on March 14 this year.

The portal offers comprehensive support, including a solar calculator to estimate rooftop generation capacity, cost savings, vendor details, and pricing information. It also enables online applications for net metering and subsidies, eliminating the need for physical office visits.

Households consuming over 400 units of electricity monthly can install rooftop solar panels to reduce bills and enjoy subsidy benefits. Excess power generated will earn domestic consumers government incentives of Rs 3 per unit for systems up to 3 kW and Rs 2 per unit for systems up to 10 kW. Group housing societies and resident welfare associations are eligible for Rs 2 per unit incentives, while commercial and industrial users can claim Rs 1 per unit.

According to officials, a 1 kW solar plant generates approximately 100 units monthly, with installation costs ranging from Rs 40,000 to Rs 60,000 per kW. The government provides a national-level subsidy of Rs 78,000 for a 3 kW system, supplemented by an additional Rs 2,000 per kW from the Delhi government for systems up to 5 kW.
