India may require local inverters in next rooftop solar scheme
In short
India may ask rooftop solar installers to use locally made inverters and battery parts in the next scheme. Mint says the current scheme gives subsidies of up to 40% and targets up to 300 units of free power a month for 10 million households.
It is not clear when the new rules would begin or if they are final. That leaves the effect on solar makers and families uncertain.
What the reporting says
India may mandate locally made inverters and domestic battery components under its next rooftop solar scheme, according to Mint Industry’s summary. The current scheme offers subsidies of up to 40% for households installing rooftop solar panels and aims to provide up to 300 units of free electricity a month to 10 million households. The report does not say when the new rules would start or whether they have been finalized, so the impact on manufacturers and households is still uncertain.
Why it matters
India may require locally made inverters and domestic battery components under a future rooftop solar scheme, following a current program that offers subsidies of up to 40% and aims to give up to 300 units of free electricity a month to 10 million households. The report does not confirm timing or final approval, so the effect on rooftop solar suppliers and households is not yet clear.
