The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) portal has introduced a new consumer approval mechanism for Vendor-Consumer Agreements, aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in the rooftop solar installation process.

Under the revised process, consumers will now be required to review and approve the Vendor-Consumer Agreement through their portal login before the installation can proceed.

Vendors uploading agreements through the My Applications module must enter the total cost of the rooftop solar (RTS) installation, including taxes and all applicable charges. The total amount entered must correspond with the quotation amount submitted during the Feasibility stage, wherever applicable, including loan applications and installations involving capacities above 10 kW.

After the vendor uploads the agreement, the application status will remain pending and display the message “Agreement sent to Consumer for Confirmation.” The consumer will subsequently receive an SMS, email and portal notification prompting them to review the agreement and either approve or reject it.

The Upload Installation option will remain disabled until the consumer provides approval. In case the agreement is rejected, the vendor will be able to access the consumer’s remarks and upload a revised document for consideration.

The updated process also provides that any changes made to an agreement after consumer approval will invalidate the earlier approval. The revised agreement will then have to undergo the consumer verification process again.

The PMSG: MBY team has advised vendors to carefully verify all information before uploading agreements. This includes agreement details, component brands, pricing and other relevant information, which should accurately match the details recorded on the portal as well as the actual installation.

The new mechanism is intended to provide consumers with greater visibility into installation costs and agreement terms while strengthening transparency throughout the rooftop solar adoption process under the PM Surya Ghar scheme.

Websol Energy System Limited (Websol or the Company) (BSE: 517498, NSE: WEBELSOLAR), has announced that the Government of West Bengal has allotted a parcel of land measuring about 54.20 acres to the Company at Falta Industrial Park, Kolkata, West Bengal for its planned greenfield solar manufacturing facility.

The new facility is planned with 4 GW of solar cell capacity and 4 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity, to be developed in two phases of 2GW each.

The land allotment follows Websol’s evaluation of locations close to its existing manufacturing operations at the Falta Special Economic Zone in West Bengal. The decision to expand in West Bengal allows Websol to build on more than three decades of operating experience in the state. Its existing presence provides access to a readily available base of skilled manpower, established supplier relationships, and deep familiarity with the local ecosystem factors expected to support faster execution than a facility built in an entirely new location.

The proposed facility will also create a larger integrated manufacturing base for Websol in eastern India at a time when domestic solar manufacturing capacity is expanding to support India’s growing renewable energy requirements.

Commenting on the allotment, Mr. Sohan Lal Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director, Websol Energy System Ltd, said: ” “When Websol entered solar manufacturing in the mid-1990s, the industry in India was still at a very early stage. Today, solar is becoming an increasingly important part of the country’s energy infrastructure, and the need for strong domestic manufacturing has never been clearer. For us, this land allotment represents the next phase of a journey that began more than three decades ago in West Bengal. It allows us to build at a significantly larger scale while remaining close to an ecosystem, workforce and operating base we know well. As India expands its solar capacity, we believe manufacturing must grow alongside it, across regions and closer to demand. This project is Websol’s contribution to building that deeper domestic manufacturing base.”

Ms. Sanjana Khaitan, Executive Director, Websol Energy System Ltd, added: “The real focus now is execution moving from land allotment to construction, commissioning and utilisation. We have always believed that growth should be measured not just by installed capacity, but by how efficiently that capacity translates into production, delivery and revenue. That is the approach we will continue to follow as we work towards our 2028 targets.”

Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Marine Living Resources & Ecology (CMLRE), Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, for the installation of a grid-connected rooftop solar (GCRT) System at CMLRE in Kochi, Kerala.

The initiative will be implemented under the PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the Government of India’s flagship programme aimed at accelerating rooftop solar adoption and promoting the use of renewable energy.

The MoU marks another step towards increasing the adoption of clean energy solutions across Government institutions. The rooftop solar installation at CMLRE is expected to contribute to the institution’s use of renewable electricity while supporting broader national objectives for a sustainable and greener energy future.

The MoU was signed and exchanged by Dr. R. S. Maheskumar, Head & Scientist ‘G’, CMLRE, and Sh. Manas Ranjan Mishra, DGM & HoD (Solar), SECI.

Through such collaborations, SECI and Government institutions are supporting the wider deployment of rooftop solar systems and strengthening the role of renewable energy in public-sector establishments.
