More than 1,000 applications have been received from residents for free installation of rooftop solar plants in the city. The last date for the submission of applications was April 20.
However, people can still apply for free installation of solar plants as the authorities have decided to keep the portal open even after the deadline.
Chandigarh Renewable Energy Science and Technology Promotion Society (CREST) had invited applications for free installation of solar plants by March 31 and then extended the deadline till April 20.
“Our portal will remain open till we meet the target. We have even floated tenders for the agency to execute the project,” said Debendra Dalai, CEO, CREST, executing agency for city’s renewable energy projects. Applications can be submitted online at www.solar.chd.gov.in.
