Further, 26,483 distinct RTS vendors have been registered under the scheme.  The state/UT wise details are given at Annexure I.

In  the  state  of  Andhra  Pradesh,  a  total  of  14,72,814  applications  have  been  received  and 1,14,313 RTS systems have been installed, benefitting 1,17,453 households, and an amount of Rs  734.97  crore  has  been  disbursed  as  CFA  to  the  beneficiaries  under  the  scheme,  as  on 20.03.2026. The district wise details are given at Annexure II.

The RTS installations for residential sector under the PMSG: MBY are generally through netmetering arrangements by installation of net-meters. Some of the states/UTs have also initiated installation of smart meters, which can also be configured for the net-metering purpose.

(d) The RTS installations for residential sector under the PMSG: MBY in the state of Andhra Pradesh  are  mainly  covered  under  net-metering  arrangement.  However,  other  metering arrangements such as group net-metering, virtual net-metering, gross metering and net billing are also permissible as per provisions of the regulations issued by the state electricity regulator.

(e) The state/UT-wise details of RTS installations completed under the PMSG: MBY are given at Annexure I and district-wise details of RTS installations completed in the state of Andhra Pradesh are given at Annexure II.

The amount of electricity generated by an RTS plant depends upon various factors including solar irradiance of the location, technology of solar modules, tilt angle, regular maintenance, etc. An RTS plant installed and maintained as per specified standards, on average basis, will daily generate four units of electricity per kWp capacity of the plant.

(f)  &  (g)  Under  the  Model  Solar  Village  (MSV)  component  of  PMSG:  MBY,  challenge mode has been announced in 21 districts of the state of Andhra Pradesh and MSVs have been declared in 12 districts. The district-wise details are given in Annexure III.
