Application-wise status of the installations under Off-grid and Decentralised Solar PV Applications Programme is as given below:

  • Off-grid Solar PV Applications Programme is one of the oldest programmes of the Ministry aimed at providing solar PV based applications in areas where grid power is either not available or is unreliable. Applications such as solar home lighting systems, solar street lighting systems, solar power plants, solar pumps, solar lanterns and solar study lamps are covered under the programme.
  • Under the National Solar Mission, a target of 2000 MWp was kept for off-grid solar PV applications.
