8. From August 31, India will cancel subsidies for rooftop solar projects below 10KW
The Indian government decided to cancel subsidies for rooftop solar projects below 10 kilowatts from August 31. According to the current system, 40% subsidy for projects above 3kw and 20% for projects above 3kw to 10kw. Subodh Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of Rajasthan Renewable Energy Company, said: “Each kilowatt of capacity can generate 4 units of electricity. Because of the lower cost of solar energy, the investment will be recovered within four years.” In addition, the use of these projects The life span is 25 years, which saves a lot of money for people who choose solar roof projects. Agarwal also called on people to take advantage of the plan to build rooftop solar facilities before the subsidy expires.
