PM-Surya Ghar Implementation and Operations and Maintenance Guide
PR Newswire: The ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE) has issued operational guidelines for implementing various components under the PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. The scheme aims to facilitate the adoption of rooftop solar systems across the residential sector through innovative financing and implementation models.
The PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana guidelines provide information on the operations and maintenance of rooftop solar systems. The guidelines include:
Vendor responsibilities
The vendor is responsible for supplying, installing, and commissioning the rooftop solar system. They must also ensure the system meets safety and technical standards.
Site survey
The vendor must conduct a site survey to assess the roof's strength, feasibility, and shadow-free area.
Design and engineering
The vendor must design the plant and select components that meet the standards set by the DISCOM, SERC, or MNRE
A Roof Top Solar (RTS) Photo Voltaic (PV) system shall consist of equipment/components like Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) modules, Inverter/micro inverters, Module Mounting structures, Energy Meter, Array Junction Boxes, DC Distribution Box, AC Distribution Box, Protections – Earthing, Lightning, Surge, Cables, Drawing & Manuals and any other necessary component based upon the site requirement.
Feasibility approval
Applications for systems up to 10 kW capacity are generally accepted without technical feasibility approval.
Central Financial Assistance (CFA)
Rooftop solar installations are only eligible for CFA once after installation.
Incentives
Incentives are available for capacity achieved above 10% and 15% of the installed base capacity.
Benchmark cost
The benchmark cost for a 1 kW system is ₹50,000 for the first 2 kW and ₹45,000 for each additional kW.
Registration
Interested consumers can register on the National Portal for Rooftop Solar
Safety Preparation at Work Area
Solar technician must understand essential safety norms to be followed at field and be able to prepare documentation of safety procedures. The main purpose of the Health and Safety policies and procedures is to instruct and follow all workers to prevent injury, to themselves and others. Every worker has to participate in developing, implementing, and enforcing Health and Safety policies and procedures.

Maintenance basics are to understand importance of maintenance and to plan and perform various activities in maintenance of the plant.
Maintenance is a combination of activities done in the Solar PV power plant to retain the healthy working condition accepted at the time of commissioning, for all the times.

Clean the solar PV array (manual)
1 Do not sit, stand or walk on solar panel. 2 Even keeping palm on panel for resting for few moments also can damage internally the PV cell.
3 Ensure water used is free from dirt and physical contaminants. (De-ionized water is preferable).
4 Water with mineral content more than 200 ppm should NOT be used.
5 Cleaning agent must be mild, non-caustic and nonabrasive detergent may be used.
6 For normal cleaning where dirt is not visible only water or thinly diluted cleaning agent can be used.
7 Add more cleaning agent where dirt or dust level is more.
8 Pour the mix on the surface exposed to sun and gently brush with wiper to clean.
9 Do not brush or clean on the reverse side of the modules to avoid damage to the lead wires or the junction box.
10 For removing stubborn marks of bird droppings, insects, dirt etc. make use of a soft sponge, fiber cloth or non-abrasive brush.
11 Do not sit, stand or step on the modules for cleaning.
12 Do not use a metal brush to clean solar panel surface
