National Workshop on Review of Implementation of Rooftop Solar Phase II Programme

12th June 2021

Proceedings

Opening Remarks: Mr Amitesh K Sinha Joint Secretary MNRE gave the opening

remarks. He provided an overview on India’s 175 GW target under the National Solar

Mission including rooftop solar (40 GW), challenges faced by the rooftop solar sector,

achievements and progress under the MNRE Phase-II program, engagement of

DISCOMs in rooftop solar implementation and with various Technical assistance

programs for creating the enabling environment towards accelerating rooftop solar

implementation. Despite various challenges, the rooftop solar sector holds promise to

both the consumers and DISCOMs and assured that MNRE will continue to address and

to overcome the challenges. He requested DISCOMs to discover prices for allocated

capacities on a fast-tracking basis. As regards Ease of Doing Business, he emphasized

DISCOMs to disburse the subsidy to vendors timely and publish all information for

facilitating consumers to apply for approvals and implement rooftop solar projects. He

further emphasized taking appropriate action who has agreed to implement the projects

at L1 price through tender and suitable penalty clauses should be incorporated in the

tender. He encouraged DISCOMs to promote rooftop solar in sectors other than

residential sector and implement new and innovative business models.

Overall Summary - Phase-2 Rooftop Solar Program: Mr J K Jethani, Director, MNRE

presented and elaborated on the implementation aspects of Grid Connected Rooftop

Solar for Phase – II Programme issued on 20th Aug 2019. As of date, MNRE has

allocated app. 3 GW of rooftop solar capacity to DISCOMs and released Central

Financial Assistance amount of INR 266 Crs, resulting in an installed capacity of 699

MW in the residential sector. He informed that as of date, 61 DISCOMs have reported a

cumulative installed rooftop solar capacity of 4.32 GW. He further updated on various

clarifications issued by MNRE towards implementing the Phase II program including the

blanket extension provided due to pandemic and the procedures for claiming incentives.

Finally, Mr Jethani touched upon the various challenges faced by the DISCOMs and

vendors in rooftop solar implementation related to the pandemic, increase in

components’ price, tender timings and extensions, DISCOM reduced uptake due to

RPO compliant status etc.,

Presentations by States on sharing of successful experience in rooftop solar

implementation

Four presentations were made on sharing the key enablers and factors for successful

implementation of rooftop solar by GUVNL, KSEB, BRPL and CREST. The summary of the

presentations is provided below:

Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL) made a comprehensive presentation on the key

success factors of large-scale rooftop solar implementation in the residential sector in

Gujarat. The success elements included but not limited to (i) empanelment of large

number of vendors (app. 550), (ii) effective implementation plan, (iii) effective use of

digital platform, (iv) deployment of dedicated DISCOM officials for overall support (incl.

pre-dispatch inspection of modules, follow-up with consumers’ interest, approvals,

inspection etc.,) (v) extensive state level awareness creation program (vi) Ease of Doing

Business and (vii) wide spread media and outreach initiatives. As a result of these,

Gujarat alone has achieved installation of 634 MW.


Mr Abhishek Ranjan AVP, System Operation from BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd., (BRPL)

BRPL presented on the digitalisation of / online management of rooftop solar

implementation in Delhi. He explained the aspects of digitalization of (i) unified web

portal, (ii) consumer awareness and knowledge dissemination, (iii) overall management

of the workflow including internal fleet view of the progress and impact and (iv) Internal

review of online monitoring of the rooftop solar systems in Delhi. The workflow

management along with design & analytics module provides BRPL a comprehensive

understanding of consumer needs (leads generation and deal conversions) and

requirements and enables BRPL to devise service solutions accordingly including

consumer’s view of benchmarking their performance with the rest of consumers.

Abhishek further updated that BRPL has modified the existing rooftop solar app

developed under EU India TA program and will be launched soon. Currently BRPL is

working on establishing an internal dashboard for reviewing the generation Vs forecast

trends besides others and is engaging with inverters to develop APIs to achieve real

time monitoring of rooftop solar systems. He also touched upon the portable rooftop

solar systems being implemented on pilot basis in Delhi and its analysis with and

without battery storage.

Ms R Deepa, Assistant Executive Engineer, SOURA Project, Kerala State Electricity

Board made the presentation as regards the implementation of innovative business

models for large scale deployment of RTS in Kerala. The presentation outlined the

unique features of three business models with and without Utility investment combined

with annuity payments and levelized tariff for vendors and capital investment by

consumers (after subsidy). Despite unique business models and overwhelming

responses from the consumer for RESCO model, the tenders weren’t successfully

implemented due to apprehensions by vendors in implementing RESCO models for low

capacity consumers, minimum bid capacity, low ceiling bidding tariff etc., MNRE

emphasised that vendors should be onboarded on upfront basis for implementing such

business models which should be simple with low number of control parameters and

combined with ease of doing business. Further it was suggested by MNRE that vendors

should be provided 80-90% of their system costs to enable them to support the 5 years

AMC without any challenges. DISCOMs can always consult with MNRE for simplifying

the tendering processes where need, relevant and applicable.

Mr Sukhwinder Abhrol, Project Director, Chandigarh Renewable Energy and Science &

Technology (CREST) presented on the key features of the RESCO based Build Own

Operate and Transfer model for implementing residential rooftop solar systems in

Chandigarh. He informed that the consumers are looking forward to such a model and a

demand aggregation of over 2.5 MW has already been garnered. This may have slowed

down the implementation of the ongoing CAPEX tender with the discovered L1 price. He

explained the benefits offered by this model to all the key stakeholders involved

(consumer, developer, DISCOM and CREST) basis which a quadripartite agreement

has been proposed for execution. The bidding parameter will be the number of days the

vendor would operate the rooftop solar system and then transfer the ownership to the

consumer. JERC had convened the first hearing following which CREST is updating the

documents incorporating JERC’s comments. The revised submission to JERC will be

done soon by CREST for subsequent hearing.

Rooftop Solar Phase II Program

MNRE is making all efforts to release of incentives and DISCOMs are requested to

submit the request and also ensure that the data is aligned, data duplicity and

discrepancy in data collection are avoided and ensure syncing with the data previously

submitted

MNRE will issue a clarification that Benchmark Price published on an annual basis need

not be taken as the ceiling price for discovering L1 from tenders by DISCOMs

Gujarat Success Story will be shared with all the DISCOMs in other States for

implementing the key aspects of Media & Outreach activities adopted by GUVNL

SBI requested to design and launch financing product for financing renewable energy

including residential rooftop solar under the RBI’s Priority Sector Lending (PSL) scheme

MNRE will be releasing the new benchmark price for FY 21-22

TA programs to share development of any unique and additional models under the

Unified Web Portal (UWP) changes to other DISCOMs / States for adoption

DISCOMs to develop and finalize business models in consultation with vendors to

achievement efficacy in tendering

DISCOMs who are unable to tender their allocations sanctioned during 2019 and 2020

should consider surrendering the capacity and request for revised capacity (e.g)

Southern AP DISCOM, Karnataka, Nagaland etc.,

https://dev.teksun.com/projects/ahasolar/login/index.php


MNRE is currently working on developing specifications and guidelines for remote / real-

time monitoring of rooftop solar

DISCOMs uniformly requested MNRE for training of officers on Rooftop Solar on various

aspects (Inspection, Subsidy Disbursement, Technical Aspects etc.,) through TA

Programs besides online training

Assam may explore solutions to re-allocate the 400 kW due to withdrawal of one vendor

MNRE to launch national media and outreach program soon

MNRE may consider release of the withheld 25% of 3% service fee to DISCOMs subject

to internal deliberations

MNRE will expedite release of advance subsidy to Private DISCOMs

DISCOMs should avail the services of Technical Assistance programs for completing

the development of Unified Web Portals

DISCOM should independently engage agencies for AMC of UWP as TA programs

could provide only 3 months of handholding after handover the portal

All the DISCOMs who haven’t submitted the target capacity were requested to submit

the same at the earliest.

Implementation Models (Phase I)

• KSEBL avails roof from

consumers on ‘Right to

Use’ basis.

• KSEBL invests cost of

solar rooftop plant

• Roof owners get a

energy rebate of 10%

of solar generation

• Entire solar generation

to KSEBL

Model 1

• KSEBL invests & develops

solar rooftop plant

through EPC developers

• Energy generated will

be sold to consumers of

respective roofs

• Tariff includes cost of

generation plus margin

and is less than the grid

tariff . The tariff is fixed

for 25 years

Model 2

• Consumers own solar

rooftop plant

• KSEBL build solar

rooftop plant through

EPC developer and

transfer to consumers

Model 3

Phase I: 200MW - All consumer categories (2/2)

7

Tender Outcome

• EPC 50 MW capacity

46.5 MW awarded to three vendors.

• RESCO 150 MW Capacity

No Participation

Consultation with local and major PV project developers of Kerala to understand low participations.

Key issued identified:

• Minimum bid capacity of 5 MW was too high. • Labour cost is higher in Kerala leading to higher overall cost of

installation.• Ceiling prices defined for RESCO Projects are too low • Not viable case for RESCO players, specially when majority of

rooftop were small in size (LT consumers).• Requirement of solvency certificate is a challenge.

Learnings were incorporated in next tenders.

Phase II subsidy scheme – Innovative Models

• Capacity Allocated by MNRE to KSEBL:

✓ FY 2020 – 50 MW &

✓ FY 2021 – 200 MW

• DISCOMS can devise suitable business models:

✓ Subsidy to be targeted towards low end domestic consumers. Should benefit low consumption consumers with monthly consumption upto 200 units per month

✓ All stakeholders should contribute & should have stake in development of RTPV Projects for it to be sustainable business model.

✓ Interest of Utility/ Consumers/ Developer should be protected with proper sharing of risks and rewards.

✓ Recent experience of Bidders participation (RESCO/EPC) of Phase I Soura Tender is considered while devising subsidy based model catering to Domestic Category Consumers.

• Tender Outcome✓ Seven bids were received✓ Only two offers received for 2 and 3 kW plants

• Learnings✓ 25 years of O&M for small rooftops is not feasible.✓ Generation based tariff for small rooftops is not attractive for RESCOs✓ RESCO arrangement is not economically viable in cases of small individual

residential rooftop solar projects.

• Since there were not enough bidders in the 2 and 3 kW plant capacitiesand notification of new benchmark rates from MNRE , it was decided tocancel and retender.


• EPC Annuity Payout Model✓2 and 3 kW capacity plants✓ Stakeholders: KSEBL + Consumer + MNRE CFA + Developer

• Share of Stakeholders:

• Payment : 2/3rd plant cost upon commissioning ,Remaining 1/3rd of Capital Cost and O&M for 6th and 7th year -annuity payout basis for7 years. After 7 years O &M by KSEBL

CRESTChandigarh RESCO BOT Model – Utility Anchored RESCO Model

National Workshop on Review of Implementation of Rooftop Solar Phase II Program

12 Jun 2021

Challenges in Conventional RESCO Model

Consumers

Hesitance with long term PPA contract with private party for 25 years

Access to roof blocked for 25 years

RESCO O&M uncertainty for 25 years

Lack of consumer awareness of contractual provisions

RESCO

Payment Uncertainty from consumer

Unfeasibility for small project size

Lack of contract provisions enforcement over a period of time

Contractual uncertainty in addressing defaults and termination during PPA tenure (25 years).

RESCO BOT Model – Schematics Diagram

Features

❑ CREST / DISCOM aggregates the residential consumers

❑ RESCOs selected by CREST / DISCOM based on competitive

bidding process (Bidding Parameter - No.of days)

❑ RESCO, DISCOM, Nodal Agency & Consumer sign a

quadripartite agreement for overall arrangement

❑ RESCOs own the assets and transfer the ownership after

competitively determined BOT period (days)

❑ DISCOM executes PPA with RESCO for payments @ APPC

for that FY

❑ Residential Consumers pay :

o APPC rate plus Utility trading margin (INR 0.07 per unit) as

Cost of Power for solar units consumed

o this DISCOM determined tariff for balance of grid power

imported from grid

❑ DISCOM issues electricity bill with two part tariff payments

❑ CREST have applied to JERC for approval for under other

business models of Net Metering Regulation

Advantages

Consumer : No investment, no PPA with RESCO and reduced electricity bill

RESCO : Demand Aggregation by DISCOM, reduced transaction cost, and

secured payments from DISCOM

Way Forward

• CREST has aggregated residential consumer demand of 2.5 MW equivalent capacities to be taken up

under the scheme

• CREST has undertaken market consultations and understood the viability of the scheme from

RESCO’s perspective

• CREST has obtained approval from CED’s for fixed APPC rate (2020), as procurement cost from this

model, with CERC approved trading margin of INR 0.07 per unit.

• However, due to new APPC rate issued for FY20-21, CREST will reapply to CED with APPC (for current

FY)

• First petition hearing with JERC held on 12th Oct 2020.

• All comments during petition hearing have been addressed and revised petition will be reapplied.

Ground Mounted Rooftop Difference

Irradiation assessment

• High mismatch losses• Higher possibility of Potential Induced Degradation (PID)• Significantly higher shading losses• Operations at comparatively higher temperatures

Lower generation

• The orientation of the modules (Tilt angle and azimuth angle of module) is often not in an ideal condition

• In rooftop projects, a compromise is required between maximizing the capacity and generation per kW

Roof orientation

• Rooftop solar projects are required to stop generation in case of grid failure unless it is synchronized with gen-sets

• Throttling of solar power to maintain spinning reserve for diesel load management in case of power failure

Curtailment & throttling

• Significantly higher levels of aerosols• Land use patterns

Average CUF in TCCL’s portfolio

Rooftop solar projects have higher cost as compared to that of utility scale projects because of lack of scale benefits
