In a bid to promote green power in the State, Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has issued gazette notification on installation of net metering system of rooftop photo voltaic (PV) solar power units.
With the issuance of the notification last week, solar power can now be harnessed by domestic as well as commercial power consumers.
“From homes to offices, anyone can use this facility by installing solar power units individually that will now be connected to the state’s power grid directly,” city-based activist Sudhir Budhay, who has been pushing the case, said.
