Understanding Solar Net Metering for Consumers in India

Grid-connected non-conventional energy generation has evolved over the past few years, with emphasis now being given to clean, green, and sustainable energy generation. The Electricity Act 2003, with its provisions for renewable energy, has encouraged market competition by adopting non-conventional energy resources in India.

Despite incentives provided by the Government of India, the uptake of rooftop solar PV in the country has been rather slow. Installation of more than 53 GW of ground-mounted solar PV has been achieved against the target of 60 GW; however, the progress for solar rooftop projects is only 9 GW against the target of 40 GW.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) invites you to a consultation webinar to understand why the uptake of rooftop solar PV is slow, and explore measures for improvement. For this, an understanding solar net metering and its challenges is critical. Net metering applies to consumers who have a grid connection with enough rooftop space and load available at a particular location. But these consumers are currently facing a number of problems, and this webinar is an effort towards finding solutions for them.
