Policy tweaks may boost rooftop solar installation

While the central and State governments have done a ‘good’ job regarding rooftop solar policies, there are some specific changes to the net metering rules and plant size specifications that can accelerate adoption, according to Cleanmax Solar. The government has set a target of 40 GW of power from rooftop solar installations by 2022, but is still very far from achieving it, with installed capacity at the moment at only 1.5 GW across the country.
