    Office Memorandum

    Subject: For installation of Rooftop Solar Projects in Govt./PSU sector.

    Ministry is implementing the program for installation of grid connected


    roof top solar(RTS) power systems/projects in building/vacant areas
    belonging to various Ministries/Departments. In order to expedite the
    implementation, PSUs have been empanelled by MNRE to assist the
    Ministries/Departments through Project Management Consultancy(PMC). In
    this regard it is to clarify that

    a. Scope of PMC Work:Under such PMC, the scope of work of the PSUs
    would essentially cover, but not limited to coordination with the
    Ministry/Department, collection of list of sites, site visits, solar potential
    assessment, technical evaluation, , finalisation of feasibility report,
    finalization of bidding documents in either CAPEX or RESCO mode,
    collation of State wise projects for economics of scale, submission of
    project proposals and PCRs in SPIN portal, getting sanction from MNRE,
    undertaking bidding process, selection of vendors, monitoring
    implementation, ensuring net metering as per the State/UT policies,
    quality control, supervision during O&M period, dispute resolution and
    contract management.

    b. Preferred Models of implementation: Plants can be developed in


    two modes. Viz.(i) CAPEX/Ownership mode where investment is made
    by Rooftop owner and bids are invited on total project cost. Under this
    model, EPC agreement is to be signed by the Rooftop owner with the
    developer. (ii) RESCO/PPA mode where Project investment is made ny
    private developer and bids are invited on tariff to be charges by
    developer for recovering the investment. Under this mode Power
    Purchase Agreement (PPA) is to be signed by Rooftop owner with the
    developer.
    c. Model Documents: As per the decision taken in the meeting of
    Committee of Secretaries (CoS) on 27.08.2016, MNRE has developed
    model Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) , EPC agreement and PPA.
    The MoU is to be entered between empanelled PSU and the concerned
    Ministry/Department/Government Agency. The PPA or EPC agreement
    has to entered between private developer and local Government
    Department /PSU/Govt Agency owning the rooftop or ground area. The
    model MOU, PPA and EPCagreement have duly vetted by Department of
    Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law & Justice vide vide dy.
    No.22065/Adv.B/2016 dated 30th August 2016 Further these
    documents also vetted by Department of Expenditure, Ministry of
    Finance vide no. 03(04)/PF-II/2014 dated8th September 2016. These
    model documents are available at following weblink:
    http://mnre.gov .in/file-manager/UserFiles/Model-MoU-PPA-and-CAPEX-
    Agreement-document.pdf

    d. Service charges to Expert PSUs: PMC service charges of the PSU to


    be provided from MNRE and deducted from payment to successful
    bidder as follows
    Category PMC charges from MNRE PMC charges from
    successful bidder
    General/Special upto 3% of eligible Upto 5% of quoted
    Category incentive project cost/MNRE
    states/U't s/ benchmark cost,
    Islands whichever is lower minus
    eligible incentives
    Note: The maximum PMC charges in any case should not exceed 4.4%
    of the total quoted project cost or MNRE benchmark cost (whichever is
    lower)

    e. Proportion of installation of projects on rooftop and ground:


    Since the scheme being implemented is " Grid connected Rooftop and
    Small Solar Power Plants" the scheme provisions installation of both
    rooftop and ground mounted small solar power plants within the scheme
    range of 1 to 500kW per project/system. Effort should be made to utilise
    maximum rooftop and surplus ground area for installation of solar
    projects as per net metering regulations

    f. Project commissioning timelines and advance funds from MNRE:


    The project commissioning timeline in case of General category States
    will be 12months from the date of finalization of the contract and for
    North East/Special category States/UTs/Islands the time line is 15
    months from date of finalization of the contract. However contract/work
    order has to be finalized within 6 months of MNRE approval in case of
    General category states/UTs. For North East/ Special Category
    states/Islandsthis time line is 9months from MNRE sanction. The
    incentive would be released after commissioning of the project and
    submission of PCRs in SPIN portal. However advance release of PMC
    would be considered

    g. SPIN Portal: The PMC agency must submit their complete project
    details online in the website www.solarrooftop.gov .in for availing eligible
    service charges and sanction incentives. The online portal captures all
    details of the project, viz. capacity, project cost, address, disrict, State,
    latitude, longitude etc
