AP Solar Rooftop Application

Before we move on with the Solar rooftop application process, we believe that every interested person must understand the technology behind this. That’s why we are taking a moment to explain PV solar.

The photovoltaic effect, which is the conversion of light (photons) to electricity (voltage), gives the field of photovoltaics (commonly abbreviated as PV) its name. Scientists discovered this phenomenon in 1954 when they developed a silicon solar cell that worked and could produce an electric current when exposed to light.

Now, Solar cells are used to power many different gadgets. The power produced by solar cells is now becoming financially viable in many countries.

APSPDCL Net Metering

Solar metering gives credit to both residential and commercial customers that use solar power systems to generate extra electricity and transfer it back to the grid. Special equipment needs to be installed along with the other set-up.

With net metering, you pay for the “net” amount of energy used each month, which is the difference between the amount of energy the solar power system produces and the amount of energy used by the house during the billing period.

Process Flow:

1. Online Application
2. Inspection
3. Agreement
4. Installation of SPV System
5. Inspection, Calibration of Meters
6. Synchronization of Installed SPV System
7. Net Billing System Starts

Other Rules

• At the LT level of the distribution network, SRP with an installed capacity less than or equal to 56 kW must be connected.
• SRPs with installed capacities of 56 kW or more and up to 1000 kW must be linked to the distribution network at the 11 kV or 33 kV level.
• However, APERC may occasionally change the installed capacity of SRP for connectivity at the distribution network.
