Haryana Solar Policy for Solar Rooftop Projects
The energy resources present in our world are depleting at a worryingly high rate, to the point where we need to implement the measures necessary to make sure that there are little to no problems which might arise in the long run. After all, sustainable development is the need of the hour, and it’s of the essence to make sure that we don’t deplete the natural resources of our planet to the point where future generations will find it extremely hard even to survive, let alone live.

So, this makes it all the more important to make sure that you have the measures set in place that will help improve the world’s state when it comes to anything and everything related to non-renewable sources of energy. One of the proven ways to ensure this preservation is through the use of renewable sources of energy like solar energy, which you can implement in Haryana. Keeping this in mind, it’s time to discuss some of the significant things you need to keep in mind regarding the Haryana Solar Policy of 2017 for rooftop projects.
- The Haryana Solar Policy states that there is an excellent potential to make full use of solar power in this state. Installation of 1kWp to 1 MWp of capacity Grid connected & up to 50 kWp of capacity when it comes to solar power will be promoted for their captive use/net meter as per the State Govt. Regulation. A total capacity of 1600 MW rooftop solar power plants is planned to be added by the year 2021–22.
- Setting up a connection will involve various steps according to the Haryana Solar Policy of 2017, which are mentioned below:
- The programme for rooftop solar power projects — including the net metering programme — shall be implemented by Renewable Energy Department.
- Once the proposal has been approved, the IPPs/project developer will enter into PPA with HPPC to transmit power.
- If any dispute arises, either party can approach the Secretary of the Renewable Energy Department, or anybody appointed by him for a decision regarding this matter.
- Wherever required under this policy, all the statutory clearances and approvals shall be provided to the IPP through a single window facility in a time-bound manner within 60 days after the application submission, along with the necessary enclosures and fees/charges (including LOI). The concerned department will give the clearance to the single window authorities within 45 days.
The Haryana Solar Policy will prove to be incredibly useful when it comes to ensuring that little to no problems might arise when it comes to implementing this particular Solar Policy.
