This has made the free solar panels scheme unprofitable for many companies.
A few years ago when the solar feed in tariff incentives were higher this service was very popular.
An additional inr 2 5 m per plant is available for the preparation of detailed project reports dprs and conducting surveys etc.
These were run by companies eager to cash in on the feed in tariff fit.
