General Questions
A 1 kW rooftop system generally requires 12 sq. metres (130 square feet) of flat, shadow-free area (preferably south-facing). Actual sizing, however, depends also on local factors of solar radiation and weather conditions and shape of the roof.
The average cost of grid connected rooftop solar systems is about Rs.125 per watt.
The grid connected rooftop system can work on net metering basis wherein the beneficiary pays to the utility on net meter reading basis only. Alternatively two meters can also be installed to measure the export and import of power separately. The mechanism based on gross metering at mutually agreed tariff can also be adopted.
In feed-in-tariff the Government offers a tariff for purchase of the solar power generated from such plants.
(i) Electricity generation at the consumption center and hence Savings in transmission and distribution losses
(ii) Low gestation time
(iii) No requirement of additional land
(iv) Improvement of tail-end grid voltages and reduction in system congestion with higher self-consumption of solar electricity
(v) Local employment generation
