Today we are answering these questions of yours.
What is the solar policy of Delhi government?
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal held a press conference and announced the launch of Delhi Solar Policy 2024 in the capital. Under this policy, all the people of Delhi will be motivated to install solar panels on the roofs of their houses. For which subsidy will also be given by Delhi Government. To make the scheme attractive, the government has also announced incentives for the people, money will be deposited in their accounts according to the amount of electricity they produce.
What claims has the government made?
Now many claims have been made by the Delhi government regarding this scheme. The biggest claim is that after this scheme, the electricity bills of both the poor and the rich in Delhi will become zero. Besides, bills for commercial use will also be halved. Delhi government has also claimed to give the highest incentives in the country for installation of rooftop solar panels.
How to install solar panels on the roof?
Now the question is who will get the benefit of this scheme and how can solar panels be installed on the roof. For this you will have to apply under this policy of Delhi Government. Delhi government claims that whatever expense will be incurred in installing solar panels will be recovered within four years. If you install a two kilowatt rooftop solar panel, it will cost around Rs 90 thousand. In which, apart from the subsidy of the Central Government, the Delhi Government will give a subsidy of up to Rs 10,000 on solar panels. After this, you will also be given incentive every month for five years.
How will you earn every month?
For installing solar panels up to three kilowatts, you will be paid Rs 3 per unit. From 3 kW to 10 kW, you will be given an incentive of Rs 2 per unit. That means, if you produce 200 units of electricity in a month from rooftop solar panel, you can get up to Rs 600 every month. Accordingly, you can recover the cost of your solar panels in the next four years, after which you will be able to avail the benefit of free electricity for the next 20 years. Because the life of a solar panel is about 25 years.
How will the electricity bill become zero?
Now let us give you the answer to the biggest question that how your electricity bill will become zero. Actually, Delhi government is already providing free electricity up to 200 units, after that the bill is halved between 200 to 400 units. In such a situation, if you install rooftop solar panels under the solar policy, your bill can be zero even with high consumption. If you spend 400 units of electricity every month, then up to 200 units of electricity are already available for free, the 200 units above this can be produced by solar panels. In this way your bill will become zero.
