With a view to accelerate the deployment of rooftop solar power in the country, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has prepared a concept note on ‘Sustainable Rooftop Implementation for Solar Transfiguration of India (SRISTI)’.

Government has set a target of reaching 100 GW of solar power installed capacity in the country by 2022, of which 40 GW is targeted through solar rooftop.

 

The Ministry is implementing Grid Connected Rooftop Solar (RTS) Power Programme in which subsidy/incentives are being provided for residential, institutional, social and Government sector. States/UTs have also taken conducive policy and regulatory measures for promotion of solar rooftop.

 

The concept note is available at http://mnre.gov.in/file-manager/UserFiles/comments-on_RTS.pdf and Ministry has invited comments/views from stakeholders on the said concept note by 31st December, 2017.
