“…The lack of awareness, information, and knowledge of solar energy among households in India is a major barrier to the growth and development of the RTS segment [42][43][44]. Since the initial cost of RTS installation is comparatively high, therefore the central /state government is providing 30%1 capital subsidies to the residential RTS systems [44].…”

Rooftop solar (RTS) projects have the potential to contribute to climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives. In India, grid-connected RTS capacity has been targeted at 40 GW by the end of the year 2022 however, the installed capacity is limited to 8.2 GW only. As a result, the country missed its 2022 target of installing 100 GW of solar power capacity, largely due to inadequate uptake of RTS. The prevailing practices of RTS implementation is observed to be complex, repetitive, tedious, and time-consuming for potential consumers and there is a lack of coordination among implementing agencies. Therefore, even with vast potential, supportive measures, dedicated policies, and regulations the penetration of RTS systems is far below their respective potential. The introduction of information technology (IT) intervention in the RTS sector would integrate key stakeholders at a single platform so as to reduce the administrative burden of implementing agencies, optimization of processing time, handle multiple consumers simultaneously, and connect consumers with authentic vendors, etc. This would help them to understand and perform their shared roles and responsibilities and enhance the RTS implementation across the state. In this study, the scope for IT interventions in the existing RTS implementation process of the Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency (OREDA) has been assessed and a simplistic approach has been developed for the execution of the RTS projects in relatively lesser time with the least human interface as well as resources. This approach has been successfully demonstrated with OREDA and a cumulative capacity of around 5 MWp (individual project of 1-2 kWp) residential grid-connected RTS projects implemented through the web platform. Currently, other state nodal agencies are also adopting the model for RTS execution and consumer proliferation through IT interventions.

“…In China, faulty policies leading to inefficient administrative and monitoring measures, mismatch between regulatory and actual technical requirements, and difficult integration of different construction and operational machineries significantly bog down the progress of DG development [115]. Moreover, potential DG end users in underdeveloped and developing countries usually could not easily access to information about DG and its promotional incentives; even for regions with promotions via educations and advertisement, currently social resistance still exists due to low confidence level with new technology performance [116] and limited affordability (without external subsidy) [117].…”

“…They are also aware that these systems could lead to certain economic and environmental benefits, but the quantum of these gains is not known. Kappagantua et al (2015) have observed that during personal interviews, the respondents generally pay attention to details on net and gross metering as these have a direct impact on the economic gains and the payback periods. The respondents are also aware that government provides certain subsidies.…”
