In Short : Delhi Chief Minister Atishi launched the Delhi Solar Portal, aimed at facilitating rooftop solar panel installations for residents and businesses. The platform offers features like a solar calculator for estimating savings, online applications for net metering, and subsidies under the Delhi Solar Policy. The initiative targets 750 MW of rooftop solar capacity by 2027, promoting clean energy and financial incentives such as generation-based payouts of up to ₹3 per kWh for residential users.

In Detail : Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Wednesday launched the Delhi Solar Portal as a single-window application and tracking site for the installation of rooftop solar panels in the city.

Under Delhi’s solar power policy, launched in March, consumers can install solar panels on rooftops and use the power generated to offset electricity bills.

Atishi said the new portal will help achieve the target of 750 MW rooftop solar power generation.

The portal will provide all information required for the installation of rooftop panels. It will have a solar calculator to estimate solar power generation capacity at a specific rooftop, savings to be made, list of vendors and rate of solar plants, she said.

Also, applications for net metering and subsidy could be submitted through the portal and consumers will not be required to visit any office, Atishi added.

Domestic power consumers, who will generate extra solar power beyond their need, will be paid a generation-based incentive by the government at the rate of Rs 3/unit, the CM said.
