Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal unveiled Delhi’s new solar power policy, which gives people the option to install rooftop solar panels and get compensated for the power they produce. This may allow some to even get zero power bills, the CM added.

How can one get solar panels installed and how will it work?

The Delhi government will soon upload a list of authorized vendors on its website

Download the list, select any one vendor, call them and get your rooftop solar panels installed

Once the panels are installed, discoms will install a ‘net meter’, which will keep a tab on the units generated, used by the consumer and units unused.

Following this, electricity bills will be sent to the consumer. The units they generate will be adjusted against their consumption and if extra power is produced, money will be credited to the user’s account

There is no need to submit any document, the CM said.
