Delhi Revises Rooftop Solar Rules to Simplify Applications and Set Timelines
The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has revised its net metering regulations to promote rooftop solar adoption by simplifying the application process and reducing fees. The new rules merge multiple steps into two, waive technical feasibility assessments and fees for domestic systems up to 10 kW, and set strict timelines for discoms to complete feasibility studies and installations. Consumers can apply online through various portals, including the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana scheme. These changes aim to accelerate solar rooftop installations in Delhi.
