Solar rooftop opportunities and challengesJay Ranvir
India has high potential for solar energy generation due to its abundant solar irradiation. The government has set a target of 100 GW of solar generation capacity by 2022, including 40 GW from rooftop solar projects. Rooftop solar offers advantages like reduced transmission losses and land requirements. However, the high upfront cost and technical challenges have limited rooftop solar installations so far. States have introduced policies to promote rooftop solar through incentives and net-metering, but further measures are needed to achieve large-scale adoption.

Design analysis for solar photovoltaic with and without nemyhckelvin
This document summarizes the design and analysis of a residential solar photovoltaic system in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia with and without a Net Energy Metering (NEM) scheme. A 7kW solar PV system was designed for a house using 240W panels and a 7kW inverter. System costs, annual energy generation of around 7,017 kWh, and financial metrics like return on investment were simulated over 25 years using the System Advisor Model software. The results of simulations with and without NEM were compared, finding that the key differences were in how excess solar energy would be treated - under NEM it could be exported to the grid at a set rate, while without NEM it
To mitigate the sector’s market and financial barriers, the Indian Government has sought climate financing from international banks. Additionally, with technical assistance programs, the early market-related risks and challenges, such as lack of experience and technical knowledge amongst the key stakeholders are to be overcome in order to accelerate deployment of rooftop solar.
The scope of this briefing note is to provide an understanding of the current state of grid-connected rooftop solar financing in the country and, in particular, in Tamil Nadu. It evaluates the state of the international lines of credit, its implementation at state level (for Tamil Nadu), and the availability and accessibility of the financial support. Through this, the document aims to identify possible gaps and challenges existing today in financing rooftop solar.
This document outlines Jammu and Kashmir's Solar Power Policy. It aims to promote solar power generation in the state to meet national targets under India's Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. The policy provides incentives for solar power projects such as no entry tax on equipment, land lease at nominal rates, assistance with clearances, and exemption from electricity duty. It establishes procedures for allotting land and evaluating project proposals. Solar plants must be commissioned within 24 months of receiving approvals and will be eligible for incentives for 25 years. The energy can be used captively or sold to the state power utility or third parties.

3. The Partnership to Advance Clean Energy - Deployment
Technical Assistance (PACE-D TA) Program is a ve-
year bilateral initiative led by the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID) and the U.S.
Department of State, and implemented in partnership
with the Ministry of Power (MOP) and the Ministry of
New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The Program has
three key components: energy ef ciency (EE),
renewable energy (RE) and cleaner fossil technologies.
Within each of these components, the Program's focus
is on institutional strengthening, capacity building,
technology pilot projects, innovative nancing
mechanisms and increasing the awareness of clean
energy technologies.
About Us
The PACE-D TA Program is engaged in providing
technical assistance and building the institutional
capacity of state organizations in four focal states
(Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan)
to promote clean energy technology deployment. The
technical support and increased institutional capacity
will enable these states to propose, adopt, and
implement effective policies, regulations and programs
to support wide-scale deployment of clean energy
technologies. The broader objective of the technical
assistance is that these states lead the way, and other
states replicate and expand on these clean energy
interventions.
Overview
4. Karnataka is estimated to have nearly 20 GW of solar power potential. The state has set an aggressive capacity addition target of 5,400 MW under the RE Policy and
Solar Energy Policy for the period 2014-2021. The Program provided technical assistance to Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Ltd. (KREDL) to develop the RE
and Solar Energy Policy. Electricity supply companies including Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) are taking the lead by rolling out new initiatives for
the deployment of solar rooftop projects. The PACE-D TA Program is working with BESCOM to design, develop, and implement two solar initiatives under the Solar
Energy Policy framework. These initiatives will result in the installation of a signi cant decentralized solar energy capacity and greenhouse gas emission reductions.
The Program also provided necessary support to KREDL to develop a separate “Karnataka Energy Ef ciency and Conservation Policy 2014-19”.

5. Solar Rooftop Scheme
BESCOM’s rooftop photovoltaic (PV) scheme, launched in November 2014, is the rst of its kind in the country. BESCOM has developed a customer-friendly
framework of detailed processes, template forms and systems to enable stakeholders to design, develop and install their own solar rooftop systems. This scheme is
being disseminated as a shared, open-source online framework, with information made available to all stakeholders. The PACE-D TA Program assisted BESCOM in
developing the required processes, forms, formats and guidelines for interconnection. It also designed a standardized training format for solar rooftop deployment
for BESCOM and assisted in training its of cials. Since the launch of its solar rooftop scheme, BESCOM has received 751 applications to install a total of 75 MW of
solar power. As of November 2015, 2.5 MW has already been installed, including 400 kWp at the Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium in Bangalore. The Program is
currently providing guidance to BESCOM on the interconnection of systems, and training and capacity building of utility personnel. It is also developing a training
module and a handbook guide to encourage other utilities such as BESCOM to roll-out similar solar rooftop schemes across India. The Program’s technical assistance
to BESCOM on solar rooftop will help the Government of Karnataka achieve its state target of 2.3 GW of solar rooftop by 2022.
RE and EE Policy
The Program provided support to KREDL to develop a comprehensive “Karnataka Energy Ef ciency and Conservation Policy 2014-19” with the objective of
promotion and large-scale deployment of EE measures in the state. The comprehensive EE policy of Karnataka, the rst of its kind in India, has set a target of saving
nearly 300 MkWh and avoiding fossil fuel-based generation capacity addition of around 63 MW during the policy period. The proposed policy provides sector wise
energy savings approach and target for different consumer categories including municipal, domestic, agriculture, commercial and industries. The policy will provide
a long-term vision for driving energy ef ciency and energy conservation across different consumer categories in the state, and also help to establish it as a leading
state for the deployment of large-scale EE programs.
Similarly, the Program supported KREDL in the development of a comprehensive RE Policy for 2014-2021. The exercise was undertaken with the objective of
addressing the barriers encountered during the earlier RE policy regime and further accelerating RE deployment in the state. The Program undertook a comparative
analysis of RE policies of various states and presented key learnings in terms of innovative programs/schemes, incentive frameworks, and institutional frameworks
relevant for wind, small hydro, biomass, cogeneration and solar power development. On implementation, the RE and Solar Energy policies will lead to capacity
addition of 3,600 MW of renewable energy and 1,800 MW of solar energy respectively during their control period.

7. Solar Irrigation Pumping Scheme
The Surya Raitha scheme, launched by the Government of Karnataka in September 2014, is designed to replace conventional electrical irrigation pump-sets with
energy-ef cient, net-metered solar-powered pump sets. The PACE-D TA Program is providing technical assistance to BESCOM in the design and development of the
pilot project being established under this scheme including multiple business models that can be implemented on the ground. The Program also supported the
Government of Karnataka in the process of managing the bids, including advising on the terms of reference and evaluation criteria for the pilot project. The pilot
project will help a) evaluate business models, b) identify and address technical challenges, and c) evaluate best practices in institutional design on the ground, so
that these can be replicated throughout the state. The Program aims to facilitate the deployment of 27 MW under this scheme by 2017, of which nearly 2 MW is
currently under implementation as a part of the pilot project. The scheme will improve livelihoods, conserve electricity, and enhance the quality of irrigation by
providing farmers with reliable and uninterrupted daytime power supply.
Upon successful implementation, this pilot can be scaled up and replicated in other states, ensuring greater reliability in agricultural energy supply. India, currently
facing issues due to erratic power supply to agriculture and high dependence on back up diesel power from nearly 19 million electric pumps, has a vast potential to
leverage solar-based irrigation systems to reduce its peak load and power consumption. The PACE-D TA Program’s pilots can help test the business models and build
the capacity of stakeholders to take forward such initiatives on a large-scale.
8. The desert state of Rajasthan has almost 300 days of sunlight, making it a prime candidate for large-scale solar deployment. While the potential for large capacity,
grid-connected solar projects has begun to be realized, the market opportunity for decentralized and small rooftop systems remains untapped. The PACE-D TA
Program is working on several initiatives in Rajasthan: enabling framework (regulations and implementation) for solar rooftop, renewable purchase obligation (RPO)
compliance, infrastructure business models for solar parks implementation, energy ef ciency policy, Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) implementation and a
Smart Grid pilot project.

9. Infrastructure Business Models for Solar Park
The Government of India has launched a scheme for the development of solar parks and ultra-mega solar power projects commencing 2014-15 (till 2018-19),
through which at least 25 such parks, each with a capacity of 500 MW and above (and a cumulative target of over 20,000 MW), will be set up. The PACE-D TA
Program is currently working on analyzing different public-private partnership models to encourage private sector participation in solar park development in
Rajasthan. The objective of the engagement is to develop guidelines for the Government of Rajasthan and the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited
(RRECL) for determining the respective stakeholder's role and level of engagement in public-private partnership models which can assist in a) facilitating
accelerated development, b) channeling public and private nance, and c) addressing different objectives/concerns regarding solar park development. These
objectives could include off-take risk mitigation, inclusion of community, ensuring supply of land or facilitate project development for the developers in the park.
The guidelines are expected to promote sustained investment in solar parks in Rajasthan. The Program’s support to RRECL will also help lay a strong foundation for
solar parks in the country.
Enabling Framework for Solar Rooftop
One of the main barriers to solar rooftop deployment is lack of clarity around the governing regulatory conditions, such as the legal standing of third-party-based
rooftop installations. The Program, in collaboration with the state’s energy department and nodal agency, prepared a white paper and provided policy and regulatory
advisory support for the development of the Net Metering framework for the state. The Program also provided inputs on the regulations to re ect current and future
market needs. The Program is currently developing a detailed framework for the interconnection of solar rooftop systems on behalf of the state’s largest distribution
utility, Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. (JVVNL). The framework includes detailed processes, forms, formats and systems to encourage and support customers to
design, develop, and install solar rooftop systems. The Program’s initiatives to build the capacity of utilities such as JVVNL will facilitate the Government of
Rajasthan to meet its solar rooftop target of 2.3 GW by 2022.
RPO Compliance Mechanism
While many Indian states, including Rajasthan, have speci ed solar and non-solar RPOs, very few states have initiated the process of a streamlined RPO compliance
monitoring and reporting. The PACE-D TA Program is assisting the state of Rajasthan in developing a compliance mechanism for open access/captive consumers
under the RPO framework. This includes design of the overall framework, outline of the institutional structure, and preparation of an RPO information manual for
obligated entities (OEs). The proposed framework for RPO enforcement by the state will push the OEs to purchase electricity from RE sources and hence create a
demand for new RE deployment. It will also remove the regulatory ambiguity surrounding RPO compliance by various OEs. Similar frameworks could be replicated in
other Indian states for effective RPO compliance management.
10.
11. EE Policy
Rajasthan faces a signi cant demand supply gap in terms of both energy generation and installed capacity. While there is a tremendous potential to reap the
bene ts of implementing energy-ef ciency measures such as demand-side management (DSM) and ECBC, the existing policy framework does not provide speci c
EE targets or an institutional mechanism to achieve the same. The PACE-D TA Program recommended the development of a state speci c energy ef ciency and
conservation policy to the Government of Rajasthan to provide a long-term strategy for EE in the state, identify frameworks to leverage funds for EE activities and
develop an inter-institutional mechanism to implement the identi ed activities. The Program provided technical support to the state to develop a draft EE policy
covering the period 2015-2019. The EE policy aims to save around 100 MW and 440 MkWh of electricity consumption by 2019.
Smart Grid Pilot Project
The Government of India is supporting Smart Grid pilot implementation in 14 state-owned utilities. The PACE-D TA Program is working closely with the India Smart
Grid Task Force to build the capacity of these 14 utilities via training and technical papers. In addition, the Program is providing technical assistance to two
utilities—Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. (AVVNL) and Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited—on speci c Smart Grid interventions. In Ajmer, the Program will
support AVVNL to demonstrate the bene ts of select functionalities such as advanced metering infrastructure for automatic energy audit and loss reduction
analytics including energy theft monitoring and tamper alerts. The project will be implemented via an innovative Pay for Service (or rental) model.
ECBC Implementation
The PACE-D TA Program is supporting the Department of Urban Development and Housing (UDH), Government of Rajasthan, RRECL, and Jaipur Development
Authority (JDA) to develop and implement a strategic road map for rollout of mandatory ECBC implementation in the state. An ECBC Implementation Task Force has
been established to facilitate the adoption of compliance and enforcement mechanism in Rajasthan. The Task Force comprises members from the UDH, RRECL,
JVVNL, Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation Ltd., Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd., AVVNL, and Rajasthan State Real Estate
Development Council. The PACE-D TA Program has developed a draft document on the process for mandatory ECBC compliance procedures for Jaipur. The ECBC
implementation framework adopted by Jaipur could be further replicated by other cities in the state and, with appropriate modi cations, other cities in India.
Nearly two-thirds (66 percent) of the building stock that will exist by 2030 is yet to be constructed in India. The Program’s capacity building interventions on ECBC
implementation will help states to develop an effective ECBC implementation, enforcement, and compliance framework, and scale up India’s vibrant Indian green
building sector.
12. Haryana has an average electricity demand of 4,500-5,500 MW which increases to 8,000 MW during summer peak hours. Haryana was the second state in India to
initiate the process of reforms and restructuring of the power sector in India. While the state's economy was predominantly based on agriculture, it is now emerging as
a base for the knowledge industry including IT and biotechnology, leading to different energy consumption patterns and related challenges. Haryana offers huge
potential for implementation of energy ef ciency and energy conservation measures. The PACE-D TA Program is working closely with the Haryana Electricity
Regulatory Commission (HERC) on energy ef ciency interventions to reduce energy de cit in the state.
Haryana
13. DSM Regulations
In 2014, the Program provided technical assistance to the HERC to develop DSM regulations to ease the state’s power crunch. These regulations will promote and
implement load shifting, strategic energy conservation and pricing initiatives-based programs such as “Time of Day”. The regulations, noti ed in November 2014,
emphasize the need for a DSM Cell that will be responsible for various DSM activities. They also call for distribution licensees to undertake load research to identify
the target consumer segments and end-uses, and market research to estimate the potential for speci c energy ef ciency technologies and applications. In addition,
the regulations require distribution licensees to formulate and submit a DSM plan to HERC, including an overall goal, description of DSM programs, implementation
process, monitoring and reporting procedures, and indicative cost-effective assessment of each program. The PACE-D TA Program is currently providing support to
HERC to develop draft guidelines on Cost Effectiveness Assessment and Evaluation, Measurement and Veri cation (EM&V) which are the two important
components associated with the DSM regulations.
Capacity Building of Utilities
As per the noti ed DSM regulations, power distribution companies in Haryana will have to focus on new interventions such as creating a DSM Cell and preparing
DSM plans. Hence, it is important for the state utilities--Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd. (DHBVNL) and Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd. (UHBVNL)--to
understand the key steps and components involved in the development of DSM plans and work towards meeting the timelines set in the regulations. The PACE-D TA
Program is building the capacity of state utilities in Haryana to prepare a range of DSM-related interventions. The Program organized a capacity building workshop
on “Identi cation and Development of DSM Projects” for DHBVNL and UHBVNL at Panchkula in July 2015 where it provided an overview of the DSM regulatory
framework and program implementation to the utilities. It also deliberated on how to identify DSM programs and prepare cost effective assessment for different
consumer categories such as residential, commercial, agriculture, and municipalities. The Program is currently in the process of nalizing the identi ed DSM
projects for further implementation in consultation with both distribution utilities and HERC. Learnings and experience from DHBVNL and UHBVNL will be
disseminated to distribution utilities in other states, thereby helping them to tap the DSM potential and ensure energy savings across India.
14. The state of Madhya Pradesh has a vast untapped potential for RE deployment, particularly solar energy. The state also has a number of remote un-electri ed villages
and partially electri ed villages, which are potential pockets for deployment of off-grid RE technologies. The Program prepared the Action Plan for the state of
Madhya Pradesh and provided technical assistance to the state nodal agency Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (MPUVNL) for a) the design of a Centralized
Monitoring Centre for remote monitoring of off-grid solar systems, b) preparation of an off-grid policy framework, c) enabling framework (policy, regulations and
implementation) for solar rooftop, and d) development of a vendor policy manual.

15. Off-grid Policy Framework
The Program developed an off-grid RE policy framework for improving the proliferation of off-grid RE technologies across sectors, departmental programs and other
developmental initiatives in the state. Development of an off-grid RE policy for Madhya Pradesh is expected to enhance the focus on off-grid electri cation and also
catalyze new off-grid energy delivery models.
Centralized Monitoring Centre
Madhya Pradesh currently has 650 off-grid PV systems, totaling 4 MW, installed across the state by various vendors. The systems, ranging between 1 kWp and 100
kWp, are either standalone or hybrid with grid supply as a backup. As per the directives of MNRE, off-grid systems with installed capacity of more than 5 kWp, need
to be installed with remote monitoring devices. The PACE-D TA Program is working with MPUVNL to establish a Centralized Monitoring Centre which will assist the
agency in monitoring the performance of these off-grid solar installations. The Program has prepared a conceptual framework and a detailed project report for CMC
implementation. It has also developed a detailed terms of reference for the appointment of an IT service provider and outlined the bid process for MPUVNL to select
the IT service provider. The proposed off-grid CMC system is the rst of its kind in India. While the system is focused on monitoring the performance of off-grid PV
systems, it can also be adapted to monitor other off-grid applications such as bio-gasi ers and solar pumps. Once successfully implemented by MPUVNL, other state
nodal agencies can also use the CMC model to monitor off-grid systems and assess the outcomes of their programs in an effective manner.
Enabling Framework for Solar Rooftop
The Program provided advisory support to develop the state Net Metering policy and provided comments to the Net Metering regulations. Similar to the TA support
to Karnataka and Rajasthan, the Program is also providing technical assistance for the development of the interconnection framework that includes detailed
processes, forms, formats and systems to encourage and support customers in designing, developing, and installing solar rooftop systems. Capacity building of
stakeholders on Net Metering and related frameworks will enable the Government of Madhya Pradesh meet the state’s solar rooftop target of 2.2 GW by 2022.
Solar rooftop deployment will play a key role in meeting India’s national solar target of 100 GW by 2022, making it one of the largest RE producer. The PACE-D TA
Program’s various interventions on solar rooftop will provide a signi cant llip to India’s solar rooftop market and support the country to meet its national solar
rooftoptargetof40GWby2022.
16. Knowledge Sharing between States
The Program organizes knowledge exchange workshops to highlight cross-cutting challenges and opportunities, and facilitate knowledge sharing among key partner
agencies including state nodal agencies (SNAs), distribution utilities, electricity regulatory commissions, and electricity departments of various states. The rst knowledge
exchange workshop was organized on February 24-26, 2014 in Puducherry. The workshop put forward the key RE and EE initiatives considering state speci c priorities and
focused on understanding the existing policies, regulations and programs under implementation. The second knowledge exchange workshop was organized on February 18-
19, 2015 in New Delhi. Representatives of SNAs and electricity regulatory commissions from Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan participated
in the workshop. The discussions focused on solar rooftops, solar pumping, CMC, Solar Energy Training Network (SETNET), and the Bureau of Energy Ef ciency’s initiatives to
promote energy ef ciency, including municipal DSM, ECBC and nancing. The workshop also included a site visit to the solar rooftop and EE project at Paryavaran Bhawan
(Of ce of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change) to get rst-hand experience of a nearly zero-energy building and solar rooftop installation.
