Description
Chief Minister’s Solar Rooftop Capital Incentive Scheme is a capital subsidy scheme by the Tamil Nadu Government. In this scheme, a capital subsidy of ₹ 20,000 per kilowatt is provided for grid-connected domestic solar PV systems in addition to the 30% subsidy scheme of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy MNRE of the Government of India. For individual homes/flats, the solar system capacity shall be 1 kW. For the residential flats solar system capacities of 5 kW, 10 kW, and multiples thereof can be applied for common usage as a group application. limited to 30% of MNRE benchmark cost or 30% of the project cost, whichever is less
Benefits
• A capital subsidy of ₹ 20,000 per kilowatt for grid-connected domestic solar PV systems in addition to the 30% subsidy scheme* of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) of the Government of India. For individual homes/flats, the solar system capacity shall be 1 kW. For the residential flats solar system capacities of 5 kW, 10 kW, and multiples thereof can be applied for common usage as a group application. (* limited to 30% of MNRE benchmark cost or 30% of the project cost, whichever is less)
• You may opt for any capacity out of 1, 2, 5 & 10 kWp, but the subsidy will be limited to 1kWp per house / flat.
• A grid-connected photovoltaic power system will reduce the power bill due to the import and export of power through net metering provision. Illustration: someone imports (consumes) 1,000 kWh from the grid and exports 600 kWh to the grid in a billing cycle. The energy bill will be for 400 kWh (1000 kWh – 600 kWh) accounted by Netmeter.
• Grid-connected PV systems do not require batteries. Batteries are costly require periodic maintenance and also lead to the wastage of 15 – 20 % of energy in storage and retrieval.
• Grid-connected PV systems are much easier to operate and maintain.
• Segregation of load is not required.
