KERC removes sanctioned load clause for installing solar panels
BENGALURU: The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued orders to ease the process of applying and installing solar rooftop panels for domestic and commercial purposes. The order stated that the Commission has enabled the submission of online applications for installing and implementing solar rooftop photovoltaic systems for a sanctioned load of up to and inclusive of 10 kW. The order further states that if a consumer's sanctioned load is less than the capacity of the solar rooftop photovoltaic plant to be installed, the distribution licensee must allow the installation of an SRTPV plant with a capacity of up to 10 kW. The order also specifies that when a consumer's sanctioned load is increased, the consumer is responsible for paying the applicable charges, depositing the additional security, and entering into power supply agreements for the additional load. “For installation of SRTPV system up to and inclusive of 10 kW sanctioned load, a capacity tolerance of up to 10% shall be allowed for the applied system capacity, subject to the condition that the AC capacity of the inverter shall not exceed the sanctioned load,” the order stated.
