11, l4andatory safety precautions/features which have to be taken into

consideration as part of the grid connected solar Project installations are:-

a) The Solar Power Output feeder from the location of the installation / premises

shall have all time access by the Distribution Licensee, for isolation in case of

repair on Power distribution system. The solar plant shall comply with the

reievant standards specified by the MNRE / Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

and CEA. The responsibility of operation and maintenance of the Solar Photo

Voltaic (SPV) Generator including all accessories and apparatus lies with the

consumer.

b) The design and installation of the rooftop SPV should be equipped with

approprialely rated protective devices to sense any abnormality in the system

and carry out automatic isolation of the SPV from the grid The inverters used

should meet the necessary quality requirements and should be certified for

their quality by appropriate authority; the protection logics should be tested

before commissioning of the plant.

c) The automatic isolation or islanding protection of SPV should be ensured for,

no grid supply and low or over vbltage conditions and within the required

resp;nse time. Adequate rated fuses and fast acting circuit breakers on input

and output side of the inverters and disconnect/isolating switches to isolate

DC and AC system for maintenance shall be provided' The consumer should

Drovide for all internal safety and protective mechanism for earthing, surge'

DC ground fault, transients etc,

d) To prevent bqck feeding and possible accidents when maintenance works are

cariied out by Distribution Licensee personnel, Double polen-riple pole with

neuhal isolating disconnect switches which can be locked by Distribution

Licensee personnel should be provided. Responsibility of handling /maintaining such disconnect switches will be the responsibility of the Owner

ofthepremisesinWhoseterritorythisswitchisinsta||ed.Thisdisconnectingswitch is in addition to automatic sensing and isolating device on grid supply

failure,anda|soisinadditiontoanyotherinterna|disconnectswitchesprovided or needed to be provided keeping in view the safety of hYmln:. &

any animals. In the eveni of LT/HT supply failure from the end of the

Distribution Licensee, the consumer has to ensure that there will not be any

Solar Power being fed to the LT/HT grid of Distribution Licensee' The

consumer is solely responsible for any accident to human beings / animals

whatsoever (fatai /non{atal /departmental /non-departmental) that may

occur due to back feeding from the SPV plant when the grid supply is off'

DistributionLicenseereservestherighttodisconnecttheinsta||ationatanytime in the event of damage to its grid, meter, etc. or to prevent accident or

damage.

e) The consumer shall abide by all the codes and regulations issued by the

Commission to the extent applicable and in force from time to time' The

consumer shall comply with JERC/Dishibution Licensee /CEA requirements

with resoect to safe, secure and reliable function of the SPV plant and the

grid. The power injected into the grid shall be of the required quality as per

limits specified in these regulations or any other standards prescribed by CEA

from time to time that are applicable at the time of Solar Project installation'

F) The consumer shall restrict the harmonic generation within the limit specifled

in the agreement or specified by the Central Electricity Authority as and when

such regulation is issued.

S) The Solar Power Generator (SPG) (individual homes/commercial, establishments and other entities deflned under eligibility criteria ) may

establish grid interactive solar power plant in the Rooftop or elevated surface

with the following options:i. Grid interactive Solar Svstem without battery.ii. Grid interactive Solar System with battery backup.

However, in both the options, features as per these regulations shall

be available so as to ensure islanding of the Solar system & prevent back

feeding to Grid system of the Distribution Licensee. The invefter standard

shall be such that it should not allow Solar Pv/battery power to extend toDistribution Licensee's grid on failure of Distribution Licensee's grid supply,

irrespective of the connectivity options. The required inverter standards forthree phase and single phase Solar PV are furnished in the regulations. The

inverter should be a sine wave invefter. Harmonic standards shall be as per

IEEE 519.

h) Solar Power systems will be allowed with in house auto synchronization /de-synchronization facility with distribution system of the licensee at generation

voltage level. They will utilize the same service line for excess power

injection into the Grid which is currently being used by the consumer for

drawl of power from utility's grid and will operate in synchronization with

Distribution licensee's system provided that such injection of power from the

Rooftop solar system shall not be more than the limit of the total

consumption from the licensee's supply by the consumer in a Settlement

Period. However, specific approval of the licensee will be required in case the

above said limit is required to go beyond the said limit, keeping in view the

Capacity available in the Transformer where the Solar Power is to be grid

fed, it will be decided by the Dishibution Licensee to see the overall average

cost of power purchase. It will be mandatory for the solar rooftop generator

to provide an appropriate protection system on their incoming side/

consumer premises with the feature of "Islanding the solar generator"/ so as

to achieve isolation of consumer power-system from utility power-system

during grid failure including protection from voltage / lightning surges.

Islanding protection will be installed by the Solar Power Generator and thedistribution licensee to ensure that it is effectively working including when

operating on Batteries, The Power Conditioning Unit of the solar plant shall

have features to filter out harmonics and other distortions before injecting

the energy into the system of the Distribution Agency. The harmonics &

invener standards are as specified in the requlations

12. A single bi-directional service connection meter shall be installed to measure

import and export (Kwh) separately. For existing service connections, the

uni-directional service connection meter shall be replaced with a bi-

directional service connection meter.

13. Solar Generation meter to measure gross solar Pv energygeneration is mandatory for consumers' Solar Generation meters shall

be located at Ground floor adjacent to the bidirectional meter.

14. Upon receiving the consumer's request for effecting Solar net metering along

with the copy of the Safety Certificate and the singed net metering

agreement, the Solar Project shall be connected to the grid by the respective

Sub Divisional Officer, Electy.(OP) within 10 (Ten) working days and the bF

directional service connection meter shall be sealed. The intimation of the

commissioning of solar power plant be sent to the Director/ Science and

Technology. UT Chandigarh and the Nodal Officer by SDO (Operation) within

5 days positively). The closing meter reading of the old service connection

meter and opening meter reading of the new bidirectional service connectlon

meter should be properly recorded'

15. Caution stiakers shall be used with the green back ground and the text

"Solar Power System'written in white lette-rs The size of these stickers shall

oe ro CU (widin) x 7 CM (height) with the text clearly printed in the centre
