Regulatory policies and incentives, such as subsidies, net metering regulations, and tariffs, significantly influence the feasibility and profitability of solar projects in India. Regulations mandate the govt entities or discoms on their approach, timeline and other obligations to complete the rooftop solar projects. Proactive regulatory mechanism allows faster installations of solar projects.

In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter).

It depends on the total capacity of solar panels and your electricity meter capacity. In most states the maximum capacity of rooftop solar a person can install in upto the total capacity of your power connection (meter). As per the MNRE benchmark price, the total cost for a 3Kw system is Rs 1.45 lakh. However, the final cost of the project is mutually decided by the consumer and solar vendor. So despite the MNRE benchmark price which is not mandatory, the solar project vendors install a 3 Kw system often at higher price ranging from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh based on the technology, reputation of the vendor, services it is providing and other parameters.

To calculate your solar ROI, first, subtract what you spent initially from how much you'll save over the lifetime of your solar system. Then, divide this by your initial investment, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. Keep in mind that grid power costs might continue to rise, enhancing your RRead more

Then, divide this by your initial investment, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. Keep in mind that grid power costs might continue to rise, enhancing your ROI with each year possibly.

Solar trackers are used for positioning photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) so that they remain perpendicular to the Sun’s rays and positioning space telescopes so that they can determine the Sun’s direction. They can be used on really large commercial rooftops. Not on residential rooftops, as they would not be cost effective.
