India has committed to achieving 50% of its cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy sources by 2030, in line with its global commitments to reduce carbon emissions. Rooftop solar (RTS) systems are pivotal in this transition, offering a decentralized, sustainable, and cost-effective solution to meet the country's burgeoning electricity demand.

The Indian government initiated the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in 2010 to foster the growth of solar energy, including RTS. This mission was revised in 2015, setting a target of 100 GW of solar capacity by 2022, with 40 GW specifically earmarked for RTS. However, as of March 2024, India had only achieved around 11.87 GW of RTS capacity, unders
