About the Programme:
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is executing the Grid-connected Rooftop Solar Scheme to produce solar energy by mounting solar panels on the roofs of the homes..
Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar Scheme (Phase II):
- By the year 2022, it hopes to have installed 40,000 MW of rooftop solar projects.
- In a rooftop or small solar photovoltaic (SPV) system that is connected to the grid, the power conditioning unit converts the DC power generated by the SPV panel to AC electricity, which is then delivered to the grid.
