However, the rapid increase in the solar business has created an acute shortage of installation staff, solar meters and inverters. Moreover, there has been a delay in the application process, tracking, subsidy release and execution of other activities through the national portal due to a technical glitch. This has created an unfavourable situation for solar installers as well as residential rooftop consumers.
In view of this, one of the renewable energy associations has issued a notification requesting all solar customers to have patience and cooperate with the vendors. The association further advises residential customers to purchase solar systems only from experienced and empanelled sellers, as a lot of cases of fraud are being reported due to such a crisis in the solar industry.
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana was announced in January by Prime Minister Modi with an aim to boost solar adoption. The scheme provides for a subsidy of 60 percent of the solar unit cost for systems up to 2 kW capacity and 40 percent of additional system cost for systems between 2 to 3 kW capacity. The subsidy has been capped at 3 kW capacity. At current benchmark prices, this will mean INR 30,000 subsidy for 1 kW system, INR 60,000 for 2 kW systems and INR 78,000 for 3 kW systems or higher.
