Choose Rooftop Solar With WhiteShark, Save Money With Subsidies

Are you worried about heavy electricity bills burning holes in your pocket, then upgrade your home
with rooftop solar power plant and save money by availing subsidies. This not only allows you to reduce
your utility costs, but also reduces upfront costs.

But before we get into the details, let's first see what is a Roof Top Solar (RTS) system and how
does it work?

A Roof Top Solar (RTS) system consists of photovoltaic solar panels that generate electricity by using
sunlight to power electrical gadgets. There are two types of RTS - off-grid and on-grid. When off-grid,
you have a self-contained solar power system without any connection to the power grid. Second, you
have On-grid where your solar plant is connected to the power grid. In the first case, the solar system
works with a battery to store the electricity produced and supply energy as needed.

In the second case, the solar modules generate energy in the form of direct current which is then
converted into alternating current by the inverter. This power is routed to the electrical grid from
where it is supplied for daily use.

Access to information is the process of collecting all relevant information required by the applicant for the
establishment of the RTS.

It follows the application process which basically involves two sub-procedures – application access and
submission. According to the existing framework in Odisha, the processing of applications is done by the
relevant distribution utility (DISCOM) for grid connectivity and if the applicant is eligible for a grant and also
intends to apply for it, the application process also involves OREDA for approval and disbursement. of
subsidy.

Access and submission of applications is done offline at the DISCOM level. The candidate can also download
the application form via OREDA CRC, but it should be noted that the submission of the application is done
only in offline mode solar epc company odisha .

The completed application form should be submitted to the sub-divisional office of DISCOM along with all
the necessary documents.

After the application has been submitted, the Division office carries out a general examination and then
registers the application with acknowledgment of receipt.

In addition to network connectivity, if an applicant wishes to benefit from a grant, he must also apply to
OREDA in online or offline mode.

The candidate can download the application form from OREDA CRC, fill it and submit it to OREDA
headquarters or he can also submit the application via the OREDA CRC web portal.

Another most important step in the RTS installation is the selection of the applications for the feasibility of
the system which is carried out at the OREDA and at the level of DISCOM. While OREDA performs a
general review of applications to inspect the feasibility of the solar system for the grant, the utility provider
performs a general and technical review to ensure the safety of the system.

But the most crucial segment comes in the form of project installation. Applicants should identify and
select suitable vendors such as WhiteShark Energy Pvt Ltd., the leading solar EPC company in Odisha
for the installation of the system. The installation of the project, which also includes the supply of
materials, the verification of all technical aspects such as the feasibility of the system, is carried out by
experts in the field of the solar sector. Connectivity and synchronization is the final step in the
interconnection process which ensures that the rooftop system complies with protection and islanding
measures, phase sequencing, compliance with frequency and voltage variations, injection CC etc.

And finally, the disbursement of the subsidy is ensured by OREDA after validation of all the processes.
System maintenance is provided for a period of five years by the vendor solar energy company
Bhubaneswar.

Process for availing subsidy (for captive RTS projects)

The applicant shall fill in the relevant information for the subsidy only in the subsidy form prescribed by
the MNRE (FORM-B or C) and submit it to OREDA.
OREDA will review the form and issue a subsidy sanction letter to the applicant. The applicant will need
to install the project and then upload a copy of the job completion report to the web portal. OREDA
will come to inspect and release the subsidy. It takes about 70 days to complete the overall project
processing to installation and commissioning.

Why Solar Subsidy & How It Works

In economic terms, subsidy is a benefit granted to an individual, institution or business, by the

government in the form of cash payment or a tax rebate.

Subsidy is typically released to relax some type of burden, and is often considered to be in the general
welfare of the public, which promotes a social good or boosts economic policy cost of solar installation
Bhubaneswar.
Subsidy in the emerging solar sector also works exactly the same way.

Renewable Energy has become a crucial section of agenda in India’s energy planning process as energy
security and climate change issue takes centre-stage in policy arena. To realize this effect, the government
has set aggressive renewable energy targets by putting in place several policy initiatives both at the
Central and State levels for both grid connected & off-grid energy generation.

In this backdrop, solar energy is fast becoming the favoured option for the development in renewable
power resources in the country.

A study carried out by the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) estimated that India has a potential
of 748.9 GW of solar capacity including both ground mounted and rooftop solar projects.

India has embarked on ambitious solar mission to tap this huge solar potential in the country. As per a
report by the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s India Energy Outlook 2021, India is on a ‘cusp of a
solar powered revolution’. It unveils that solar power in India which now makes up just 4% of the
nation’s energy will likely grow 18 fold by at least 2040. The development will see the country push out
coal as its top electricity source. Rooftop solar installations, the most favoured method to harness sun’s
energy at the household level has been driven at the global level by incentives offered through various
schemes like in the form of direct subsidy, tax credits, solar specific purchase obligations etc.

In case of Odisha, which witnesses around 280 to 300 days of sunshine year-round, the Global
Horizontal Solar Irradiance average of about 4.5 to 5.0 KWh per square metre of area per day in the
State gives it fairly good potential for solar power generation.

On similar lines, Odisha government with its chief nodal agency Odisha Renewable Energy Development
Agency (OREDA) has also been earnestly promoting solar energy development in the State and also
supporting Central schemes, to meet increasing energy requirement through various methods like
generation through roof-top solar and other non-land based solar projects solar lighting system odisha.

How Set Up A Rooftop Solar Power Plant with Subsidy?

The entire process of installing a RTS has 8 basic steps.

Similarly, while there is provision for availing connectivity of RTS system without subsidy (with Net
Metering), here we will look into the procedure for availing subsidy and connectivity (for Net Metering
based RTS).

The applicant needs to fill the complete form including details regarding connectivity and MNRE Subsidy
to both OREDA and DISCOM.

DISCOM will screen the application and sign interconnection deal.

It will conduct interconnection feasibility and issue NOC for net metering.

OREDA will screen application and issue a subsidy sanction letter after making sure the approval from
DISCOM.

Applicant can then install the project by reaching out to trusted brands in solar EPC industry notably
WhiteShark and then upload the work completion report to DISCOM and OREDA

DISCOM officers will come for site inspection and commissioning of project

OREDA after receiving work completion report will visit the location for inspection to ensure the
compliance of MNRE subsidy guidelines.

It will sign joint inspection report with applicant and solar system installer.

The regulatory body OREDA will ensure the commissioning of project and initiate the process of
releasing the subsidy

Who can Avail Subsidy?

The Government of India (Ministry of New & Renewable Energy) provides capital subsidy upto 40% of
the benchmark cost. The subsidy is available for residential, institutional (hospital, educational institute
etc.) and social sector. Commercial and Industrial consumers are not covered under the subsidy
scheme.

We want to highlight here how our solar subsidy scheme works. For example a customer who wants to
install capacity of 1 kW will have to shell out Rs 70000/-. But if he/she intends to avail subsidy as per the
MNRE benchmark rate of Rs 38000/- per kW, a subsidy percentage of 40% will be applicable on the
benchmark cost and the calculated subsidy amount which comes out Rs 15200/- thereby will be
deducted from the original price and the customer has to pay the remaining cost after the deduction
which in this case is Rs 54800.

This 40% subsidy range will continue for all the systems will capacity till 3 kW. But if one wants to avail
more power generating RTS, like for example 6kW. The following calculation will make it clear.

In case of 6 kW, the 40% subsidy scheme will count as usual but adding to that, a subsidy of 20% will
also be applicable for each kW of extra energy. So for the first 3 kW, the subsidy amount will be Rs
45,600 and then Rs 7600 for each of the next 3 kWs. So in total the subsidy amount comes out to be Rs
68400. The amount the customer had to pay for a 6 kW system without subsidy would have been Rs
394800 but after the rebate, he/she would now have to pay Rs 326400.

Below is the detail reference chart for the subsidy scheme provided by the WhiteShark Energy Private
Limited.
