The Gujarat government informed the Legislative Assembly on Monday that more than 230,000 household consumers have signed up for the Surya Gujarat Solar Roofs scheme in the past two years. Launched in August 2019, the scheme aims to promote the installation of large-scale rooftop solar systems on the rooftops of private homes. Ahmedabad led the way with 34,794 registered households followed by Vadodara with 33,918, Surat with 30,918 and Rajkot with 24,118. The government provides subsidies of 40% for up to 3kW of electricity and 20% for up to 10kW of electricity, aiming to cover 800,000 residential consumers by 2022. As of June 2020, Gujarat Energy Development Corporation and other electricity distribution companies have received more than 128,000 applications for solar roofs under the scheme through an online portal.
