Residents can now submit applications for installation of rooftop solar power plants under the Renewable Energy Services Company (RESCO) model even beyond the deadline of April 20.
The Chandigarh Renewable Energy Science and Technology (CREST) Promotion Society had earlier extended the last date for submission of applications to April 20 from March 31. An official said nearly 900 applications had been received.
The society, which has been designated as the executing agency for the implementation of renewable energy projects of the Department of Science and Technology, UT, had recently launched an innovative scheme for the installation of grid-connected rooftop (GCRT) power projects for domestic consumers by a third party under the Renewable Energy Services Company (RESCO) on an build operate and transfer (BOT) basis.
