Ministry of New and Renewable Energy

Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission( Scheme on Off-grid and Decentralized Solar Applications)

Submission of proposal for installation of solar thermal systems/ devices

Respective Channel Partners as stated in the scheme may submit consolidatedproposals to MNRE for installation of various solar thermal systems in the prescribed formatas enclosed. These channel partners other than Govt. bodies coming under ProgrmmeAdministrators need to be accredited if they do not have tie up with scheduled commercialbanks/ FIs. The methodology for accreditation will be put on MNRE website by 30th

September, 2010. In case, they have tied up with scheduled banks/ FIs for the purpose ofproviding loans to the customers, the proposals will come from banks/FIs. These banks/ FIswill be provided funds by IREDA for this purpose as per the re-financing scheme of IREDAplaced on their website. The proposal should be completed in all respects without which itmay not be considered by MNRE. Minimum number of systems proposed in the proposalwill be one or more of as below:

i) Solar water heaters : 2500 sq m

iii) Box solar cookers : 5000 no.

vi) Dish solar cookers : 500 no.v) Solar air heating systems/ Driers : 500 sq.m

vi) Concentrating solar systems : 500 sq m

vii) Any other solar system based on FPCs : 500 sq.m.

For less than these numbers, the Channel Partners will submit their proposalsthrough Programme Administrators (PAs). The proposals received in MNRE will beexamined for approval and release of subsidy as per the guidelines of above mentionedscheme.

******

Note: The scheme is applicable from 8th July, 2010 issued vide Ministry’s SanctionNo. 5/23/2009-P&C. The claims for capital/interest subsidy for various solar thermalsystems as per old schemes will be considered for settlement by MNRE for period till7th July, 2010.
