No penalty for not installing rooftop solar plants in Chandigarh, for now

CHANDIGARH: Even though March 31 had been set as the last date to install solar plants in residential houses, in the wake of lockdown, the UT administration has decided not to impose any penalty on residents for now.

Debendra Dalai, CEO, Chandigarh Renewal Energy, Science and Technology Promotion Society (Crest), said the administration would hold a meeting once the lockdown is over to decide the future course of action.

“No punitive action will be taken against people for not installing solar plants on their houses during the lockdown,” he said.
