ENERGY COMMISSION TO BEGIN IMPLEMENTATION OF CAPITAL SUBSIDY FOR ROOFTOP SOLAR PV PROGRAMME

PROGRAMME BACKGROUND
The Ministry of Power, through the Energy Commission, is implementing a Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Programme in the country.
The programme is in fulfillment of the President’s Rooftop Solar PV initiative announced in 2015. The primary objective of the programme is to
provide 200MW peak load relief on the national grid through solar PV technology in the medium term.

In order to kick-start the actual implementation of the programme, the Energy Commission has been tasked to facilitate the installation of
20,000 rooftop solar PV systems in residential facilities (homes) under a Capital Subsidy Scheme in 2016.
Under the programme, a capital subsidy will be given to beneficiaries in two forms, as either:
i) cash payment for solar panels component of the solar PV system; or
ii) the supply of actual solar panels after the beneficiary has purchased and installed the requisite Balance of System (BoS) components
such as inverter, batteries, charge controllers, etc.
The maximum capacity of solar panels that will be granted each beneficiary under the programme shall be up to 500Watts.

A number of commercial banks have expressed interest in providing loan facilities to interested beneficiaries in respect of the procurement of BoS components for the solar PV systems of their choice.
