What is this service?
SRCHN.PROPERTY prepares the SRTPV application with the installation details, follows the feasibility approval, coordinates the inspection and commissioning steps with BESCOM, and confirms the net meter is installed and the agreement executed.
BESCOM's SRTPV programme lets consumers install grid-connected rooftop solar with net metering: a bi-directional meter records import and export and the bill reflects the net. The process runs through BESCOM's online SRTPV portal - registration, feasibility approval, installation by an empanelled vendor, inspection, and commissioning with the net-metering agreement.
