If multiple bidders are awarded projects for a single substation, they may collaborate on a common transmission line.

The project must be completed within eight months. Each installation must have a minimum capacity of 500 kW and a maximum of 2 MW, requiring at least 4 acres of land per MW. The Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC) will procure the solar power generated from these projects on behalf of UHBVN at a levelised tariff of Rs 3.11/kW and will enter into a 25-year power purchase agreement with successful developers.

Eligible bidders include individual farmers, groups of farmers, cooperatives, panchayats, farmer producer organisations, water user associations, or developers. Bidders must also demonstrate access to funds amounting to at least 30% of the project cost and maintain a minimum capacity utilisation factor of 21%.

In 2024, UHBVN had invited bids for 5.01 MW of solar power projects under Component-C of the PM-KUSUM program in Haryana.
