The document discusses the potential for rooftop solar projects in Odisha, India. It notes that only one 500 kW project has been installed so far. The state aims to develop 50 MW of rooftop solar capacity during the policy period. Projects from 100 kW to 500 kW would be allowed, with 30% of costs subsidized. Surplus power would be fed to the grid. The document estimates the total rooftop potential in Odisha based on housing statistics could be over 471 MW based on assumptions about roof space and panel installation. It concludes that rooftop solar has great potential but will require increased awareness, standardization, policy support, and cost reductions to achieve large scale adoption.
2. PROJECT ON CONSUMER SIDE OF METER
Only one project of 500 KWp Rooftop Solar PV Project was installed at the Kalinga Institute of
Social Sciences.
The State targets a capacity of 50 MW through such solar projects during the policy control period.
100 kW to 500 kW wherein aggregation of capacity from smaller roofs is allowed. 30% of the cost
would be provided as subsidy and 70% to be met by the consumer. Systems are to be grid
connected and do not have battery back-up. Surplus solar power from the project is fed to the grid.
GRIDCO shall procure power from such projects in accordance with the OERC regulations for
net-metering/gross metering from time to time.
Eligible developers are allowed to avail the relevant subsidies and incentives from MNRE under
JNNSM scheme. Further, State Government shall give incentive of 50 paise per unit of gross
generation from systems installed by residential consumers under this scheme

TARIFF CALCULATION
15. CONCLUSION:
Roof top solar PV systems have great potential.
There is a need for awareness creation both about rooftop solar PV
systems/ technology packages as well as about the financing
avenues available.
There is need for standardization.
The policy support is essential in terms of regulations for net
metering, grid interconnection, and energy accounting.
There is a need for promoting large scale, local manufacturing of
dual function inverters (functionality of both grid-tied and hybrid
inverters) to reduce cost.
There is need for technical innovations in storage technologies -
mainly to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Roof tops solar PV systems can play an important role in providing
reliable and assured power for buildings and establishments.
