Karnataka Rooftop Solar Timeline (2026)
While the National Portal has unified the application interface, the physical execution still depends on local DISCOM efficiency. In Karnataka, expect the process to take **45 to 60 days**.
The 60-Day Execution Roadmap
| Phase | Action & Responsibility | Estimated Duration |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Technical Feasibility | Apply online. Local AEE verifies transformer load and issues approval. | 7 to 10 Days |
| 2. Procurement & Installation | Vendor procures DCR panels, constructs the mounting structure, and wires the system. | 15 to 20 Days |
| 3. Documentation & CEIG | Vendor uploads the Work Completion Report (and CEIG clearance if system > 10kW). | 3 to 7 Days |
| 4. Inspection & Net Metering | DISCOM inspects the site, installs the bi-directional meter, and issues Commissioning Certificate. | 10 to 14 Days |
| 5. Subsidy Processing | Upload bank details on the portal. MNRE processes the DBT directly to your account. | 15 to 20 Days |
