The project offers 3 schemes to the consumer:

  1. KSEB will bear the cost of installation as well as maintenance of the plants. The scheme offers 10% of the total electricity produced to the consumer for free.
  2. KSEB will bear the cost of installation and any quantity of electricity produced from the project can be drawn by the consumer at a fixed rate.
  3. The Consumer will bear the cost of the project. Then, he/she will have the right to use the whole energy generated at his rooftop or can sell the energy completely or partially to KSEB.

KSEB is planning to entrust an independent agency with the installation of solar panels.

The board will also have to work out financial aspects involved with the project, including the rate for giving electricity to consumer as well as purchasing power from them.
