Under the Renewable Energy Service Company model, both domestic and non-domestic consumers can now get solar rooftop systems installed at their homes or institutions with zero capital investment. Consumers have to offer their roofs for solar plants and the installation will be done by the developer, which will be engaged by the discom concerned through a transparent and competitive bidding process approved by DERC.
This ensures that solar power energy is made available to the consumers at a cheaper rate compared to the power currently being supplied by the discoms through conventional sources, said CMO.
