The empanelled vendors will additionally have to conduct the work and maintenance activities of the project for five years. They must additionally make the required arrangements to evacuate surplus power to the grid at the interconnection point.

The project must be done in six months from the date of the letter of allocation or 15 months from the date of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) nod to the distribution companies (Discoms), which is November 15, 2021, whichever is earlier.

The projects will be achieved under the Phase-II of the grid-connected rooftop solar program of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).

The central financial assistance (CFA) of 40% on the benchmark value will be rendered for systems up to 3 kW. For systems over 3 kW and up to 10 kW, a CFA of 40% will be applicable for just the first 3 kW capacity and 20% for the left capacity.
