    It is the local electricity company (discom) which gives all the required govt clerances to install the rooftop solar. It is not possible to install rooftop solar without their permission.

    The delay could be primarily at two end-one at the solar vendor end and other at the discom-level end. As per consumers’ feedback, sometimes solar vendors delay the installation of the project due to lack of manpower or availability of raw materials while several times discoms delay the process in inspection of the rooftop system post installation, installation of net-meters, testing of meters and final commissioning of the project. However, several state electricity regulators are now issuing directives to streamline the process.

    Typically in Indian conditions, you can expect panels equivalent to 1kW  to generate between 4-5 units per day on average, when taken for the full year. There are periods when generation will be much higher, like the February to June period. Similarly, in North India, generation during November to January end would be much lower due to pollution, shorter days. In the early summer phase and summers, with clear skies, for every  kW capacity, you can get over 5, even 6 units in a day.

    To answer your question then, if you go with the new mono panels available today, they would typically be in the 540 Watt range, You would thus need about 6 of those to be sure of getting 350 units per month on average, or 4200 units annually. Bifacial panels will deliver even higher output, at a higher initial cost of course.

    In case of rooftop solar, a cosumer cannot sell his/her electricity generated from his residential rooftop solar to any party other than the local electricity distribution company and make profits. Rooftop solar systems are usually designed not to earn money but to reduce monthly electricity bills. Under the net-metering arrangement under the PM Surya Ghar the surplus energy is taken your power company and they also compensate it accordingly. However, in commercial projects, solar project developers earn money from solar projectsBut usually to make money and profits from solar plants, you need to invest more and go through other formalities.
