The Cabinet has approved installation of solar rooftop plants through Resco method on all government buildings in districts under Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. In accordance with the instructions of Government of India, solar rooftop plants will be installed on rooftops of state government buildings through Resco method with objective of solarising all government buildings under Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Government departments will not have to make any investment in these solar projects. Payment per unit for energy usage will be made by government offices to Resco developer. This rate is expected to be lower than discom rates, resulting in savings for government institutions. Under the Resco model, solar rooftop plants will be installed by the developer entity on government department/institution buildings for a period of 25 years. Maintenance of solar rooftop plants will be carried out by Resco entity for the entire period.
