Odisha Discoms Launch Affordable Rooftop Solar Scheme
Imagine the sun helping power your house!
In Odisha, the government and Tata Power are making this easier with a new solar panel program.
Instead of paying a lot upfront, you only pay a small fee.
The government helps by paying most of the cost.
With this program, your home can make its own electricity and save you money each month.
The company installs everything and promises to fix any problems for a long time.
This helps people use clean energy from the sun and reduces the need for other types of electricity.
Tata Power-led Odisha discoms launched a one-kilowatt Rooftop Solar (RTS) scheme.
The scheme uses the Utility-Led Aggregation (ULA) model.
Consumers pay Rs 5,000 upfront, with the bulk of the cost covered by subsidies.
A 1 kW system can generate approximately 100 units of electricity monthly.
The company provides installation, quality assurance, and after-sales service, with a 5-year warranty on components and 25 years on panels.
