Regulatory Advantage
Connection Options
Ground-mounted solar installations enjoy simpler permitting compared to utility-scale projects, as they are typically connected Behind the Meter (BTM) for captive consumption.
Behind the Meter (BTM)
Power generated is consumed onsite by the connected facility. Simpler approvals and faster implementation.
- No power purchase agreement with DISCOM
- Fewer regulatory clearances required
- Direct cost savings on electricity bill
- Faster project timeline (3-6 months)
- Net metering available for excess power
Metered Plant (Grid Export)
For larger projects where generation exceeds consumption. Power exported to grid under PPA or open access.
- Revenue from power sales to grid/third party
- Suitable for MW-scale installations
- Open access or group captive options
- SERC registration required
- Longer approval timeline (6-12 months)
Why Ground-Mounted Has Simpler Approvals
Unlike utility-scale solar farms that require extensive environmental clearances and transmission infrastructure, onsite ground-mounted systems are classified as captive power plants. This means fewer approvals, no land-use change issues (when installed on industrial land), and direct connection to your existing LT/HT infrastructure.
