Phase II of Roof Top Solar (RTS)
The Ministry is implementing Phase II of the Roof Top Solar (RTS) Programme since August 2019 under which CFA is provided for residential households and resident welfare association (RWA) / group housing societies (GHS). The CFA for rooftop solar projects up to 3 kW capacity in residential households is provided as Rs. 14588/- per kW. CFA for rooftop solar project capacity above 3 KW and up to 10 kW is provided as Rs. 7294/- per kW. Rooftop solar project capacity above 10 kW in residential households is not eligible for any CFA.
For Group Housing Societies/Residential Welfare Associations (GHS/RWA) CFA will be limited to Rs. 7294/- per kW for the installation of a Roof Top Solar (RTS) plant for the supply of power to common facilities. The capacity eligible for CFA for GHS/ RWA is limited to 10 kWp per house and not more than 500 kWp aggregate, inclusive of RTS already installed on individual houses in that GHS/ RWA at the time of installation of RTS for common activity.
