Send a Letter to The Government
Promote rooftop solar by contacting government officials who have the authority to make the transition easier through various incentives and easy and transparent procedures for net metering and grid connectivity.
Sample letter:
Dear Mr. Piyush Goyal, minister for Power, Coal, New and Renewable Energy, and Mines,
I am writing to you today to encourage you to promote rooftop solar energy by providing incentives and timely implemention of solar-favorable legislation that has been introduced.
As you may know, India has committed to install 175 GW renewable energy by 2022 and 350 GW total by 2030, when 40 percent of the country’s total energy needs will be met by renewables. The target is ambitious-but-vital, with India's coal consumption presently on the rise due to economic growth projected at more than 7 percent annually for about the next decade. The installed solar capacity in 2015 was only 5.6 GW. Installation in 2016 was only 1GW.
To meet our 2022 rooftop solar target of 40 GW, a major increase in efforts, resources, and ambition is required.
An encouraging amount of pro-solar legislation has been passed in last few months and many policies have been modified to encourage consumers to buy and install clean solar power. Unfortunately, electricity suppliers or distributors of electricity are not holding up their end of the bargain, despite the law and mandate to do so.
In this regard, I request you to please promote fair net metering rules and provide timely incentives for promotion of rooftop solar, as it will allow Indians to transition to a more prosperous, self-sufficient, and sustainable future.
Regards,
