in the State under Phase-II of Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Programme of
Ministry of New and Renewable Energr, GoI. The programme was initially
launched by Nigam vide SaLes Circular No. D-06/2O2O. However, owing to the
fresh empanelment of vendors and new rates, the Sales Circular No. D-06/ 2O2O
is hereby superseded and updated guidelines are as under:-
i) component-A of the prograrnme envisages setting up of 4,000 MW (in
country) of Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Programme in the residential
sector with Central Financial Assistance (CFA) (subsidy). CFA is provided
for the household owner and Group Housing Societies to set-up RTS on
the Rooftop of their residence/residential complex which sha-tl be
provided through MNRE to DISCOMs for further disbursement which is
detailed hereinafter.
ii) Operational guidelines issued by MNRE, in this regard, are as per MNRE
Ofhce Memorandum no. 318/33L/2o17-Grid Rooftop dated 20 Aug 2OIg.
il. Central Financial Assistance (CFA)
Component-A of the Phase II of Grid Connected Rooftop Solar Programme
is only applicable to residential sector and Group Housing Societies/Residential
Welfare Associations with CFA for installation of Grid Connected Rooftop Solar
Power Plant of the capacity I kWp to 500 kWp. The residentizrl sector users may
install RTS plant of even higher capacity as per their requirement and as per

V. The main terms and conditions of the tender documents are attached herewith as
Annexure-|.
vl. Technical Specifications of the RTS plants are attached as Annexure-ll.
Vll. Use of lndigenous manufactured Solar Panels (both cells and modules)
(MandatorY Condition)

The CFA for residential sector as stated above shall be permissible only if
domestically manufactured Solar Panels (using domestically manufactured solar
cells

and modules) are used by the beneficiary.

Further, with a view to ensure quality of solar cells and solar modules used
in

of
solar pv plants, MNRE has decided to enlist the eligible models and manufacturers
"Approved List of
solar pV Cells and modules and publish the same in a list called the
Models and Manufacturers" (ALMM). ALMM shall consist of LIST I - List
of Models and

Manufacturers of Solar pV modules and LIST ll - List of Models and Manufacturers of

Page 5 of 10
Solar PV Cells. Only the models and manufacturers included in this list will be eligible for
use in the subsidized solar PV plants.
Approved list of Models and Manufacturers shall be uploaded on DHBVN solar
web portal and shall be updated time to time in accordance to the notification from
MNRE.
It is also the responsibility of SDO 'OP' to obtain a Undertaking/Self-Declaration for
Domestic Content Requirement fulfillment from the empanelled firm for every RTS
system installed (As per Annexure-lll) w.r.t to the declaration that the PV modules
installed in the project are domestically manufactured using domestic manufactured
solar cells. This certificate shall be re-checked by XEN 'OP' before approving/releasing
subsidy to the vendor.
lf at any stage, it is found that the firm has misused the policy of using domestic
manufactured solar PV Cells and Modules by way of mis-declaration and imported solar
cells and modules have been used instead of domestic then following action shall be
taken against the firm: -
a) Filing of criminal case under IPC 420 and related sections.
b) lmmediate intimation to CE/Commercial, DHBVN for following actions: -
(i) Blacklisting for a period of 10 years.
(ii) Forfeiting of relevant Bank Guarantees.
(iii) lmmediate de-empanelment.

vlil. Payment by customer and release of CFA

The beneficiary will have the option of installing RTS system through any of these
empanelled vendors at net of CFA amount i.e., making payment to vendors after
deducting the eligible CFA amount. The vendor will claim the CFA from the Nigam. lt is
reiterated that CFA for residential sector as stated above shall be permissible only if
domestic manufactured Solar Panels (using domestic manufactured solar cells and
modules) are used by the beneficiary. However, CFA will be limited up to 20% l40o/o (as
the case may be) of the project cost mentioned above.
The CFA will be released by the Nigam to the empanelled vendor through
XEN(OP) concerned' directly into the account of vendor through RTGS after
commissioning and inspection of RTS plant and fulfillment of other obligations on
Nigam's web-portal like filling Work Completion Report, Joint commissioning Report and
Project Completion Reports (PCR).

Lightning, and grid anti- islanding as follows:
Lightning And Over Voltage Protection:
The SPV Power Plant shall be provided with lightening and over voltage

tolerable value before it reaches the PV or other sub-systems components. The
source of over voltage can be lightening or any other atmospheric disturbance. The

shall have to be made as per IS 3043. LA shall be installecl to protect tJre array
field, all machines and control panels installed in the control rooms. Number of LA
shall vary with the capacity of SPV Power Plant & location. Number of LA should be

LA's.
For systems up to 10 kWp the lightening arrester shall of conventional type
and for above 1O kWp systems it should be of Early Streamer Emission (ESE) type.

Earthing Protection:

amended up to date. The earthing pit shall be made as per IS: 3043. All the array
structures and equipments/control systems shall be compulsorily connected to the
earth, separately. Number of earthling shall vary with the capacity of SpV power
Plant & location. G.I. /Copper strips should be used for earthling instead of G.I.
wires. LA should be installed to protect the affay freld & machines installed in the
control rooms. Number of LA shall vary with the capacity of SpV power plant &
location. Earth resistance shall not be more than 5 ohms.
Surqe Protection:

Internal protection shall consist of three MOV type surge-arrestors

connected from"r.g"
+ve and -ve terminals to earth (via y arrangement)

Grid Islandins:
In the event of a power failure on the electric grid, it is required that any
independent power-producing inverters attached to the grid turn off in a short
 period of time. This prevents the DC-to-AC inverters from continuing to feed power
into small sections of the grid, known as "islands.,,

Powered islands present a risk to workers who may expect the area to be
unpowered, and they may also damage grid-tied equipment. The Rooftop PV system
shall be equipped with islanding protection. In addition to disconnection from the
gnd (due to islanding protection) disconnection due to under and over voltage
conditions shall also be provided.

A manual disconnect pole isolation switch beside automatic disconnection to

grid would have to be provided at utility end to isolate the grid connection by the
utility personnel to carry out any maintenance. This switch shall be locked, if
required, by the utility personnel

CONNECTIVITY:
The user has to take approval/NOC from the Concerned DISCOM for the
connectivity, technical feasibility, and synchronizatton of SPV plant with
distribution network and submit the same to DHBVN before commissioning of SpV
plant, however the supplier have to extend all technical help to the user for
preparing the documents required for getting the above clearance from DISCOMs.
Reverse power relay shall be provided by bidder (if necessary), as per the
local DISCOM requirement.
The maximum capacity for interconnection with the grid at a specific voltage
level shall be as specified in the Distribution Code/Supply Code and amended from
time to time. Following criteria have been suggested for selection of voltage level in
the distribution system for ready reference of the solar suppliers.

Plant Capacity Connecting voltage

requirement of electric connection of the consumer
{,bove 10kWp and up to 100 415V - three phase

{,bove 1OOkWp 415V - three phase or as per site requirement
based on the availability of grid level and as per
DISCOM rules

Utilities may have voltage levels other than above, DISCOMS may be
consulted before finalizaiion of the voltage level and system shall be designed
accordingly.

manuals are to be supplied. Bidders shall provide complete technical data sheets
for each equipment giving details of the specifications along with make/makes in
their bid along with basic design of the power plant and power evacuation,

SAFETY MEASURES:
The bidder shall take entire responsibility for electrical safety of the
installation(s) including connectivity with the grid and follow all the safety rules &
regulations applicable as per Electricity Act, 2003 and CEA guidelines etc. All work
