1. What empanelment means
MNRE and the state DISCOMs maintain lists of vendors approved to install grid-connected rooftop solar under the national subsidy programme. Getting on a list means the utility has checked the company's technical capacity, its engineers' qualifications, its financial standing, and its record on completed installations.
In practical terms it matters for one reason: a subsidy can only be claimed on a system installed by an empanelled vendor, using ALMM-listed modules. A cheaper quote from an unregistered installer usually costs more once the subsidy you cannot claim is added back.

3. Standards we build to
Empanelment sets a floor. These are the specifications every RePrime installation is designed and inspected against.
- Modules — ALMM List-I, BIS-certified to IS 14286 and IS/IEC 61730, with the manufacturer's 25-year performance warranty.
- Inverters — IS 16221 and IS 16169 compliant, with anti-islanding protection and DISCOM-approved grid settings.
- Structure — hot-dip galvanised mounting designed for local wind loads to IS 875 Part 3, with a roof-penetration and waterproofing detail signed off per site.
- Electrical — earthing and lightning protection to IS 3043, cables and protection sized to CEA safety regulations, and a labelled DC isolator at the array.
- Batteries — IS 16893 certified cells with a BMS, installed to the manufacturer's ventilation and clearance specification.
Serial numbers, torque records, and photographs of every stage go into your asset passport in the app, so what was installed is documented rather than described.
4. Subsidy under PM Surya Ghar
Central financial assistance for residential rooftop systems is published by MNRE under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. The rates below are the central component; several states add their own on top.
System size
Central assistance
Up to 2 kW
₹30,000 per kW
Additional capacity, 2 kW to 3 kW
₹18,000 per kW
Above 3 kW
Capped at ₹78,000
Group housing and resident welfare associations
₹18,000 per kW, common facilities
Rates as published by MNRE and current on the date at the top of this page. Amounts, caps, and eligibility are set by the government and can change without notice — always confirm on the national portal before you budget. Subsidy is credited by the government directly to your bank account after inspection.
5. How the filing works
We handle every step below and mirror it in your deployment tracker, so you can see which desk your file is sitting on.
1
Portal registration
You register on the national portal with your consumer number and pick RePrime as your vendor. We can do this with you on a call.
2
Feasibility approval
Your DISCOM confirms your connection can take the proposed capacity. Typically 7 to 15 days.
3
Installation and documentation
We install, then upload the plant details, invoice, and photographs the scheme requires. Nothing is filed with a gap in it.
4
Net meter and inspection
The DISCOM installs the bidirectional meter and inspects the plant. We attend the inspection so questions are answered on the spot.
5
Commissioning certificate and claim
The certificate is issued, we submit your bank details and claim, and the subsidy is credited to your account. Our median is 41 days from commissioning.
6. What we need from you
- A recent electricity bill, showing the consumer number and sanctioned load.
- Proof of ownership of the property, or the owner's written consent.
- Aadhaar or another accepted ID, and a cancelled cheque or passbook page for the subsidy credit.
- For a housing society, the resolution authorising the installation and the person signing for it.
The consumer name on the electricity bill must match the applicant, or the claim will be rejected at inspection. If it does not, tell us early — a name change with the DISCOM takes a few weeks and is best started before installation.
7. What it does not cover
Empanelment is a licence to do the work properly. It is not a guarantee of an outcome, and we will not imply otherwise:
- It does not guarantee that your subsidy will be approved, or when it will be paid. Those decisions sit with MNRE and your DISCOM.
- It does not fix subsidy rates. They are revised by notification and can change while your file is open.
- It does not cover battery storage, EV chargers, or smart meters, which are outside the residential subsidy scheme.
- It is not an endorsement of RePrime by MNRE, and we do not present it as one.
The commitments that are ours to make — performance, workmanship, service response — live in your plan agreement and in our guarantee.
8. Verify us yourself
Do not take a vendor's word for their registration — ours included. Search the vendor list on the national rooftop solar portal for your state, and check that the company name and registration number match what is on your quotation. Ask any installer for the same and compare.
