Roof Top Solar Energy installations with a 30% Subsidy from Delhi Government

In a positive move directed towards making the capital more reliant on Renewable & more specifically Solar energy, New Delhi was tasked with generating 1,000 MW of solar power out of the national quota of 40,000 MW in 2016. Now with the right subsidies in place, the target that was set by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) to be achieved by 2020 from residential and institutional rooftops, is well on its way.

An Elevated Rooftop Installation of 5kW in the busy neighborhood of “Pitampura”

“The Solar Experience” Roof:

Even though 1,000 MW is only part of Delhi’s total solar potential of 2,500 MW with a residential potential of 1,250 MW; Solar Universe India is helping drive the larger movement, which was initially kick-started by Greenpeace India – instrumental in getting the Delhi Government to draft its own Solar Policy in June 2016. Some of the highlights of that policy include:

• Concept of Virtual Net Metering for roofs with limited Solar potential

• Group Net Metering for societies and RWA's

• Generation Based Incentive of Rs 2 PER UNIT for up to 3 years

• Building bylaws amendment for Rooftop Solar Installations

• Tax breaks, benefits, and subsidies

The “Solar Universe India” reasons for Going Solar

How Going Solar Helps You:

The Delhi Government, with the help of its implementing agency and empanelled vendors, is providing UPFRONT SUBSIDY on Rooftop Solar Installations across New Delhi and Solar Universe India (Success Impex Pvt Ltd) is one of those, that provides a subsidy to the end consumers worth up to 30% of the cost of the Solar Plant. More importantly, through a concept called Net Metering, one can earn for the power they generate even when it is not being used, which is especially beneficial for large buildings like educational and religious institutions, hospitals, farmhouses and RWA's.

How Net Metering Works

How Solar Net metering Works:

Upfront Subsidy of up to 30% is available for the following type of buildings:

Institutional Buildings Educational Institutions Schools Universities Health Institutions Hospitals Medical Colleges	Social Sector Community Centres Welfare Homes Orphanages & Old Age Homes Common Service Centres & Workshops Trusts, NGOs & Voluntary Organizations	Residential Buildings All types including RWA’s

Thanks to the introduction of UPFRONT SUBSIDY (doing away with the old practice of direct disbursement to client bank account after plant commissioning), the payback period of Rooftop Solar Installations has been reduced to less than 42 months. In comparison to industry standards, Solar Universe India (Success Impex Pvt Ltd) is also offering 15% more energy through their installations titled "The Solar Experience".

The Solar Experience:

In New Delhi, most of the houses with roof ownership have a sanctioned load of 11kV and open roof space of 80 sqm which equates to a Solar potential of 8kW. An 8kW Rooftop Solar Installation can earn you Rs 1.05 lakhs every year for up to 25 years and is equivalent to planting 960 trees over the lifetime of the installation.

“20kW Installation Solar Plant with Net Metering”

RWA’s usually have a sanctioned load of 40kVa for common area lighting & energy and can install a solar plant of up to 32kW that will generate approximately 51,000 units per annum (as per the “Solar Experience of Solar Universe India”) for an investment of Rs 14.75 lacs that can be recouped in 30 months and save up to Rs 90 lacs over the lifetime of the Solar Plant.

Schools & larger institutions can export excess energy to the grid for more than 140 days in a year on account of various holidays and recoup their investment in less than 30 months owing to the various monetary benefits being offered.

Going Solar is now as easy as getting a home entertainment system. An 8kW Solar System can be set up in 15-20 days. You can schedule a site feasibility analysis by simply sending a WhatsApp message to +91-9810288787. If you're looking for such an installation (with SUBSIDY) in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, J&K and Maharashtra or are just curious to know more, contact the above number for more details and go solar today! Solar Universe India, a brand of Success Impex Pvt Ltd have been the pioneers of Solar PV installations in India since 2003. For any more details, please log on to www.solaruniverseindia.com/ 

The next blog post will address "How Simple It Is to Make Your Home Go Solar" and will answer to all of your questions regarding Finance, Space, and Cleaning of Rooftop Solar Installations.

Having received a Solar Grading of “SP1B” (only 8 out of 551 companies in India have this grading) from the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (Government of India) symbolizing “Highest Solar Potential & Moderate Financial Capability”, the company has directly or indirectly touched more than 150,000 lives with their solar installations. In New Delhi alone they have carried out more than 60 installations of 1kW to 140kW at residences, schools, gurudwaras and RWA’s.

UN Environment and WHO agree to major collaboration on environmental health risks

Nairobi - UN Environment and WHO have agreed a new, wide-ranging collaboration to accelerate action to curb environmental health risks that cause an estimated 12.6 million deaths a year.

Today in Nairobi, Mr Erik Solheim, head of UN Environment, and Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO, signed an agreement to step up joint actions to combat air pollution, climate change and antimicrobial resistance, as well as improve coordination on waste and chemicals management, water quality, and food and nutrition issues. The collaboration also includes joint management of the BreatheLife advocacy campaign to reduce air pollution for multiple climate, environment and health benefits.

This represents the most significant formal agreement on joint action across the spectrum of environmental and health issues in over 15 years.

"There is an urgent need for our two agencies to work more closely together to address the critical threats to environmental sustainability and climate – which are the foundations for life on this planet. This new agreement recognizes that sober reality," said UN Environment’s Solheim.

"Our health is directly related to the health of the environment we live in. Together, air, water and chemical hazards kill more than 12.6 million people a year. This must not continue," said WHO’s Tedros.

He added: "Most of these deaths occur in developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America where environmental pollution takes its biggest health toll."

The new collaboration creates a more systematic framework for joint research, development of tools and guidance, capacity building, monitoring of Sustainable Development Goals, global and regional partnerships, and support to regional health and environment fora.

The two agencies will develop a joint work programme and hold an annual high-level meeting to evaluate progress and make recommendations for continued collaboration.

The WHO-UN Environment collaboration follows a Ministerial Declaration on Health, Environment and Climate Change calling for the creation of a global "Health, Environment and Climate Change" Coalition, at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP 22 in Marrakesh, Morocco in 2016.

Just last month, under the overarching topic "Towards a Pollution-Free Planet", the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA), which convenes environment ministers worldwide, adopted a resolution on Environment and Health, called for expanded partnerships with relevant UN agencies and partners, and for an implementation plan to tackle pollution.   With Thanks to WHO.

Status of RWAs in the eyes of Delhi Government?

4th January 2018

Mr Satyender Jain,

Hon'ble Minister Urban Development,

Govt of NCT Delhi

Subject: Status of RWAs in the eyes of Delhi Government: Please go through the ATTACHED order of the Delhi Government, F.18 (101)/UD/Pig./DUDA/2015-16/Voi-II/ 878-902 dated 7.6.2016 regarding Release of funds for Execution of the Plan Scheme "Strg. and Augmentation of Infrastructure i.e. Roads, Streets Localities Streets Lights etc. in each Assembly Constituencies for the year 2016-17.

Dear Sir,

We have been asked by the office of the Hon'ble CM to contact you. Please view the trailing emails.

Before contesting the Delhi Assembly elections, at an RWA meet, on 18^th October 2014, at the Rose Avenue, at 2 pm, CM had made huge promises with the RWAs that they will be empowered, RWA Act will be made, Funds will be at the disposal of RWAs for the localized works, but after winning the Elections, you have sidelined the RWAs to such an extent, that your above order for the day to day requirements of localities, does not contain the term RWA, anywhere.

Though the order does not contain the term RWA anywhere, SHOCKINGLY, it contains the term Mohalla Sabha, as below:

4. Before executing the works under MLALAD, DUDA shall be required to open separate bank accounts for each MLA Constituency. The amount of balance fund worked out by UD Deptt. in the current proposal is to be accounted for against MLA Constituency wise by DUDA prior to the start of implementation. The works proposed to be executed under MLALAD Scheme and those proposed to be taken up through Swaraj Fund as recommended by Mohalla Sabhas should not be in conflict with each other and DUDA is to ensure that no duplicity of works is there.

5. Separate Assets registers/accounts against works of MLALAD and Mohalla Sabhas are to be maintained and needs to be continuously updated by DUDA online so that the assets created through MLALAD scheme could be distinguished. This will bring transparency in the execution of works and submission of utilization certificates.

Does it mean that you have sidelined those RWAs, whom you had promised a lot, before the Delhi Assembly elections?

Does it mean, that you do not recognize the RWAs anymore as they are the true critics & not the own party personals in the garb of Mohalla Sabha?

Now almost three years of your Government are nearing completion & we the RWAs of Delhi want to meet you to discuss this issue very seriously. Please, let us know when we can meet you. Our delegation of RWAs will include almost all the Top RWA personalities of Delhi to know about the Status of RWAs in the eyes of Delhi Government.

Looking forward to your most valued communication with the confirmation of Day, Date, Time & Venue.

The 2nd Coming.... of the Sealing Drive! Can Delhi be Saved from its Own Plunderers ???

As Jesus Christ ascended into heaven at the completion of His mortal ministry, two angels declared to His Apostles, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11).

When the Savior comes again, He will come in power and glory to claim the earth as His kingdom. His Second Coming will mark the beginning of the Millennium.

The Second Coming will be a fearful, mournful time for the wicked, but it will be a day of peace for the righteous. The Lord declared…..

PROFITEERING AT THE EXPENSE OF IDIOTS (like me, who still think that RULE OF LAW shall Prevail) ……. Has now become a MATTER OF RIGHT for the Law Breakers who now QUESTION …… Why were they allowed to break the Law by the Authorities ???

SUPREME COURT must take the blame also for sleeping over the Mess Delhi was hurtling into for the past decade ….. they slept 10 times longer than a KUMBH KARAN Sleepover. SC must be reminded that Citizens cannot be sedated into inertia …….. Life has to move on. The Arms of Governance meant to uphold SC’s Dignity and Rule of Law miserably failed them.

Other than the Judges, no one was fooled into believing the Authorities. Finally, the SC has woken up and has Ordered Restoration of the MONITORING COMMITTEE. Things have gone almost beyond redemption and whatever semblance of Order that can be restored will be at great cost to Citizens and the Exchequer. Delhi is already reeling under an Environmental Disaster and the Solutions Regulators like EPCA can think of are ODD/EVEN or HIKING PARKING FEE.

I had on 9th Nov. 2017 in the wake of the worst Smog had posted the following on Facebook ….. “#OddEvenBack unbridled MIGRATION; Ever Increasing Dwelling Density; 82 flights/hour DO NOT POLLUTE because they fetch VOTES.”

All the Ails that Delhi today suffers from are the result of ever-increasing Dwelling Density that DDA keeps introducing to the MPD-2021, which anyway is just a piece of paper that no one implements. DELHI IS AT THE POINT OF IMPLODING, with DDA Feeding on the GREED of Citizens’ keeps on relaxing norms to accommodate more and more Construction and Commercialization.

Delhi is a nonstop Urban Jungle with INTERMINGLING OF HABITAT & LIVELIHOOD (both Industrial & Commercial) and unplanned Rickety Structures, in Seismic Zone IV. DELHI IS SUFFERING DUE TO A FLAWED MPD-2021 that has ignored the following:-

1. INFRASTRUCTURE – Traffic Jams; Parking; Water; Power; Drainage; Sewage; Waste management

2.TRANSPORT – Bursting at Seam Buses/Metro;  Unverified Fleecing Autos/Taxis/Ola/Uber; Road Rage

3.SOCIAL FABRIC – Disturbed, where strangers lurk; Eve-Teasing

4.SECURITY/CRIME – Rapes; Snatchings; Criminals commit crime and melt into the Crowed

5.ENVIRONMENT – Smog; Untreated Sewage in the Yamuna; Noise Pollution; Depleting Water Table

6.HEALTH – Overloaded Hospitals; Fleecing Private Hospitals & Path Labs; Dengue; Asthma

7.SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE – Encroached Parks; Few Playgrounds, Inadequate School & College Seats

8. PUBLIC SAFETY – Encroached Footpaths; Unsafe/ Insanitary/Dark Underpasses and Over Bridges; Disabled Non-Compliant

9. AESTHETICS – The less said the better ….. Non-stop Slum

The recently rejuvenated Monitoring Committee has again started the Sealing Drive and the Shopkeepers are up in arms. Political Parties are doing what they do best ….. POLITICKING …… instead of thinking for Delhi’s survival they are pandering to Vote Banks. YES, there will be some Genuine Sufferers who were misled into their decision ...... WE MUST DEMAND ACTION AGAINST DELINQUENT OFFICIALS.

Today on Christmas Day I wish to say, Jesus may not choose to come but this Monitoring Committee is our LAST CHANCE TO SAVE DELHI …… Please come forward in Solidarity with a Just Solution.

Warm Regards and Happy Gurupurab & Christmas,

RAJIV KAKRIA

PS: HAPPY GOOD GOVERNANCE DAY …… A Gentle Reminder to the Government....... :)
