Help for RWAs to set up solar plants

Citizen Consumer and Civic Action Group (CAG) in coordination with ASER Advisory are reaching out to communities to clarify nagging doubts on this model of energy transition

Citizen Consumer and Civic Action Group (CAG) in coordination with Asar Social Impact Advisors Private Limited has started reaching out to residents associations and societies to gauge the interest level among communities on adopting solar rooftops as well to clarify nagging doubts they might have.

In March, CAG conducted its first meeting with Kasturba Nagar Residents Association. The group will be visiting RWAs in Perambur, Sastri Nagar and Sholinganallur in the coming months during weekends to hold similar workshops.

K. Vishnu Mohan Rao, programme lead, CAG, says they are also bringing people who already have solar systems at home on a platform to understand their concerns — administrative or regulatory. This would also serve as a platform to learn best practices from each other.

The Group has brought out a practical guide where various questions such as cost of solar plant installations, energy consumption and metering are clarified. They also plan to have interactions with banks who lend loans to consumers installing solar plants.

To invite the team, call Subramani of CAG at 88072 14008
