The Indian government has released an incentive scheme for rooftop solar PV projects

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) this month released the implementation rules for the
second phase of the grid-connected rooftop solar PV program.
Overall, India will deploy 22 GW of rooftop solar PV projects
in the second phase.

India's rooftop solar development target is to complete 38 GW deployment by 2022, of which 4 GW will be used in the residential sector and 34 GW in other sectors, including commercial, industrial, etc
.
Like the ground-based solar development plan, the plan also aims to promote the manufacture
of domestic solar cells and modules.

Specifically, the second phase of the program has two main components:

The first part is to set up up residential rooftop solar grid-connected projects under the central financial assistance CFA, in which the power distribution company and its local offices will be important nodes
for the implementation of the plan.

For rooftop solar PV systems with a capacity of up to 3 kW, CFA subsidies
of up to 40% will be provided.
For rooftop solar PV systems with a capacity of more than 3 kW and not exceeding 10 kW, a 40% CFA subsidy is available for up to and including 3kW, and a 20% CFA subsidy
for excess sectors.

For collective housing and welfare housing, the CFA subsidy will be limited to 20% for the installation of rooftop solar PV projects to power
public facilities.
CFA-eligible capacity will be limited to 10 kilowatts per house, with a total capacity of no more than 500 kilowatts, including rooftop solar PV projects
already installed on individual homes.

India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will require power distribution companies in the following year to install rooftop solar PV systems in
their respective fields.
One of the parameters for allocating capacity will be the demand presented by the distribution company and the capacity required to meet the
National Solar Regenerative Purchase Obligation (RPO).
Before March next year, the power distribution company needs to submit the relevant proposal
.

The second part, which will provide incentives based on Power Distribution Company's achievements on the 18,000 MW grid-connected rooftop solar PV project initially laid out, will provide incentives
for each MW capacity of solar rooftops.

Distribution companies are required to submit the cumulative capacity
of grid-connected rooftop solar PV installations deployed in their corresponding areas by March 31, 2019.
The part that exceeds the standard by 10-15% will be given a cost incentive of 5% of the excess part, equal to the part exceeding 15% of the standard, the part exceeding 15% will be given a cost incentive of 5% of the excess part, and the part exceeding 15% will be given a cost incentive
of 10% exceeding the cost.

In March 2019, the Prime Minister of India approved the launch of the second phase of grid-connected rooftop solar PV projects
in India.
To achieve this, the central government must provide about $1.
66 billion as central financial assistance (CFA) for capacity building, service fees, and incentives
for distribution companies.
