The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy has announced updated guidelines under the PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, introducing two additional payment models for the installation of rooftop solar systems. The move aims to ensure payment security and streamline subsidy grants for households adopting solar energy.聽The new models include the Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) and utility-led aggregation (ULA) approaches. These alternatives complement the existing consumer-driven capex mode available through the national portal.聽According to an official statement, Rs 1 billion has been allocated for a Payment Security Mechanism (PSM) to mitigate risks associated with investments in RESCO-based grid-connected rooftop solar installations in the residential sector. This fund may be supplemented with additional grants and sources upon approval.聽Key features聽RESCO Model: In this setup, third-party entities fund rooftop solar installations, allowing consumers to pay only for the electricity consumed without bearing upfront costs.聽Utility-Led Aggregation Model: Power distribution companies or state-designated entities install rooftop solar systems on behalf of individual households, simplifying adoption for end-users.聽The ministry emphasised that these new implementation methods will enhance the program鈥檚 reach and effectiveness while ensuring seamless integration with the national portal-based capex approach.聽This initiative underscores the government鈥檚 commitment to accelerating rooftop solar adoption in residential sectors and advancing India鈥檚 renewable energy goals.聽(Business Standard)聽 聽聽
