Eligibility Criteria of Chief Minister's Solar Rooftop Capital Incentive Scheme Tamil Nadu
The Chief Minister’s Solar Rooftop Capital Incentive Scheme applies to grid-connected solar PV systems. This capital subsidy scheme is for the Grid-tie system only.
A grid-connected photovoltaic power system will reduce the power bill due to the import and export of power through net metering provision. Illustration: someone imports (consumes) 1,000 kWh from the grid and exports 600 kWh to the grid in a billing cycle. The energy bill will be for 400 kWh (1000 kWh – 600 kWh) accounted by Netmeter.
Grid-connected PV systems do not require batteries. Batteries are costly require periodic maintenance and also lead to wastage of 15 – 20 % energy in storage and retrieval.
Grid-connected PV systemsare much easier to operate and maintain.
Segregation of load is not required.
