Rooftop
 Solar systems installed on rooftops of residential,
commercial, institutional & industrial buildings
premises:

 Electricity generated could be

-fed into the grid at regulated feed-in tariffs or
-used for self consumption with net-metering
approach
 Savings in transmission and distribution losses
 Low gestation time
 No requirement of additional land
 Improvement of tail-end grid voltages and
reduction in system congestion with higher self-
consumption of solar electricity
 Local employment generation
 Reduction of power bill by supplying surplus
electricity to local electricity supplier
 The Net-Metering mechanism shall allow the
consumer to reduce its electricity requirement
from grid.

 The utility benefits by avoiding purchase of

electricity from short term market.

 Electricity generation at load center also

minimises the distribution losses of electricity.

 36 States/UTs have announced regulations for

Net-Metering.
