The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana aims to install 10 million rooftop solar systems, adding approximately 30 GW of solar capacity to support India’s climate goals. Rural households face unique challenges for solar installations, such as unsuitable rooftop designs, higher installation costs, and low energy consumption. Utilising available residential spaces for installing solar systems, integrating virtual net metering for community solar models, allocating budget for capacity building and training, and making distribution companies key stakeholders can be the key enablers for rooftop solar adoption in rural areas. The views…
