For solar plants that produce less than 1,100 units (kWh) per kWp per year, GBI installation is not required. Annual GBI-eligible solar energy production is limited to 1,500 kWh per kWp. regardless of solar production meter readings.

3.Subsidy -

Although Delhi has been at the forefront of solar policy making, with the introduction of a solar grid in early September 2014, on 6 June 2016, the current Delhi government under the leadership of M. Arvind Kejriwal has strengthened Delhi’s solar policy. everyone is sold the dream of a roof decorated with a solar system that will allow them to use the abundant energy of the sun to generate electricity. The Delhi Solar Policy 2016 notification aims to make Delhi a ‘Solar City’ and the government aims to be able to generate 2 GW of solar power by 2025. This equates to solar power accounting for more than 6.5% of the electricity generated in the state. In September 2016, Delhi announced that it had installed 35 MW of rooftop capacity, and if the target of another 1,945 MW is met in the next 9 years, this is a huge percentage of the 30 lakh residential and 12 lakh commercial, industrial sectors. and other consumers in Delhi and to come together to go solar. The government has stepped in by providing a road map and some simple announcements like the ones below, but the final decision to go solar is yours:

Today, residents of Delhi can avail solar facilities through various options such as net metering (including individual, virtual and group) and generation incentives.
Net metering is available for systems above 1 kWp but below 1 MWp, depending on conditions such as your permitted load and the capacity of your local distribution transformer. Electricity generated in the grid is billed as per the rates set by DERC.
There is a Power Generation Incentive (GBI) of Rs 2 per unit which is renewable for three years and may be increased depending on the need and popularity of the project or project. The necessary funds will go from the Green Fund to support solar energy. This GBI is only available to those who exceed the production threshold of 1,100 solar energy units (kWh)/year/kWp.
The government has also announced group and virtual net tariffs for Delhi residents.
There are two models for using rooftop solar PV: self-metering (CAPEX model) as well as third-party grid metering (RESCO model).
It is also mandatory for all upcoming government buildings, aided hospitals, schools or universities like colleges to install solar power plants, especially if they have a roof height of 500 m2.
The Delhi government has announced that the height of the structure installed to support the solar system will not be considered apart from the permissible height of the building if the building is located near airports.
There is no need to get permission from municipalities or development authorities like DDA to install solar panels.

These are just some of the major announcements made by the Delhi government to increase the promotion of solar roofs in India. With over 300 days of sunshine a year in the nation’s capital and government support to make it easier to go solar, now is the best time to go solar. As a resident of Delhi, just wondering what difference do you see when you go outside in the sun? Short answer: a lot. has developed a profile for Delhi residents and will include their information in our solar calculator on the impact it will have on their decision to go geosolar.

As shown in the figure above, from a return on investment (ROI) perspective alone, a domestic electricity supplier in New Delhi (pictured above) is expected to achieve a return on investment of 21% per annum over 25 years. a system that costs just 90,000 (1.1 kWp), before considering the benefits of net metering and disclosure-based incentives. Of course, system size and ROI will vary from case to case. Compare that to an investment you’d make in, say, the stock market or mutual funds, and the gamble you’d take. Not only will going solar help you earn a lot of money in your lifetime, but your contribution to the environment will be a gift to your children and many generations to come. This project of yours will definitely play a role in keeping Delhi from being one of the most polluted cities in the world. So head to Delhi, register your roof now with GeoSolar and get to work because going solar is now easier and it won’t get any easier and GeoSolar promises you that it’s easy to count 1-2-3. With the list of pre-vetted partners, GeoSolar connects those who want to get started with solar energy to the best solar energy suppliers before they are evaluated.
