2. Central financial assistance will be provided to solar developers which will result in lower tariff for consumers

3. Selected developers will be required to maintain minimum guaranteed performance. In case they fail to do so, subsequent penalty will be levied on them.

4. Data room , which consists of consist of coordinates of rooftop site, indicative Solar PV array layout, estimated Solar PV Plant capacity based on available roof area, considering shadow analysis, gap between rows and building code requirement for wind loading, Estimated Annual energy generation report based on local climatic data, and Monthly Electricity bills been provided to developers. This will result in better price discovery for RESCO projects.
