In order to implement the provisions in the regulations for promotion of rooftop solar / renewable power plants, several distribution licensees have laid down the procedures for interconnection. These procedures consist of many steps which involve a transaction (money as well as documentation) between the consumer and the licensee and approval / feasibility steps within the hierarchy of the licensee. In order to make the process of interconnection more efficient and effective, several measures are required to be taken. Along with capacity building of the field level staff of the licensee, it is also important to support the entire process through information and technology.
