Instructions were sent to schools, malls, hotels, industrial units etc. As per department of renewable energy guidelines, domestic customers will get incentive of Re 1 per unit and industrial consumers 25 paise per unit.
Solar plants cost around Rs 59,000-75,000. The state also offers subsidies for buying a system from affiliated sellers. Officials said return on investment period (RoIP) for solar is 6 years, while its performance efficiency is estimated at around 25 years
