Indian rooftop solar policy in ‘no man’s land’

Kuldeep Jain, Managing Director of C&I rooftop specialist CleanMax Solar, said that it has been a big task to ensure most states have some semblance of a net metering policy, while in most cases there is an “artificial cap” on the maximum capacity that can be installed. Jain claimed that this 0.5-1MW cap has not been enforced on technical grounds but rather to maintain the dominance and monopoly of the distribution companies (Discoms) over the client.
