46 articles · solar inverter policy content from Qbits Energy.

Policy articles track the regulatory and incentive landscape shaping solar economics in India — state-by-state subsidy processes under PM Surya Ghar (BESCOM, MEDA, KSEB, TPDDL, and more), net metering rules, and BIS/IEC compliance requirements. Solar subsidy and net-metering rules vary materially by state and DISCOM, and getting the paperwork wrong can delay commissioning or void a subsidy claim entirely. These guides translate official circulars and state processes into practical steps: what documents you need, what the current subsidy amount is, and how to avoid the most common rejection reasons. Written for homeowners navigating a subsidy application for the first time, and for installers who need to stay current across multiple states.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PM Surya Ghar and who qualifies?
PM Surya Ghar is the central government's rooftop solar subsidy scheme for residential consumers. Eligibility and subsidy amounts depend on system capacity and state-level implementation — see our state-specific policy guides for current figures.
Does the solar subsidy process differ by state?
Yes, significantly. Each state's DISCOM (BESCOM, MEDA, KSEB, TPDDL, and others) runs its own application and disbursement process on top of the central scheme. Our guides cover the major states individually.
Do solar inverters need BIS certification in India?
Yes. BIS certification, alongside relevant IEC standards, is required for grid-connected inverters sold in India and is typically a precondition for subsidy disbursement and DISCOM approval.
