New Delhi: The BSES discoms have installed over 3,000 rooftop solar net metering connections with a connected solar load of 106MWp (megawatt peak) in the capital and aims to install 1,000 more by 2021-22.
\nThe company, which runs BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna, said it had been aggressively promoting roof-top solar in its areas in south, west, east and central Delhi. The total count stands at 3,140 and the response from consumers ranging across categories such as residential, educational and commercial establishments has been encouraging, it added.
\nThe highest number of connections are in the domestic segment (1,805), followed by educational institutions (655), commercial establishments (554), industrial (35) and others (91).
\n\u201cBesides promoting adoption of solar power, the initiative is a win-win proposition for both the consumers and the discoms alike,\u201d a BSES spokesperson said, adding the connections ranged from a sanctioned load of 1KW to over 2,000KW.
\nConsumers have begun to see how the move reduces their electricity bills, bringing it within the threshold to avail Delhi government\u2019s power subsidy, said the spokesperson. Every KW of rooftop solar generates about 100-120 units of electricity every month and the cost of the system can be recovered in 3.5-4 years, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
