Phase II of the grid-connected rooftop solar PV discusses the role of utilities in implementing the rooftop solar programmes and the outlay of the Central Financial Assistance scheme to residential users based on the specifications laid out by the government. [...] Utility-based demand aggregation is one of the models in which the utility combines the rooftop interests in its area of work and decides on the project developer for the installation of the rooftop solar PV in the aggregated terrace space of the designated end-users. [...] However, looking at the potential of the residential RTS PV and the developments in the C&I segment in rooftop it becomes important to consider scaling of rooftop solar PV in the residential segment to increase the share of generation of clean power feeding into the grid. [...] e) Supervision of the project The project should be observed based on the following points: i) Per kW energy generation of the total installed capacity of the RTS PV; ii) Energy generation as a percentage of the total residential consumption; iii) Lowering of the electricity bill of the end-user; iv) Lowering of the T&D losses; v) Financial benefits to the utility; vi) Reliability and quality of t. [...] Gross metering Under this model, a portion of the earnings that is accrued through the export of energy from the system to the grid is split with the owner of the rooftop for leasing the rooftop space with the project owner.
