KSEB on-grid solar connectivity procedure (May 2026)

Key points, in English

• Feasibility: the application (Annexure-A) goes in with a ₹1,000 fee, and the office issues an acknowledgement and cash receipt on the spot.
• Applications are accepted on working days from 9:00 to 15:00. Offices may not ask for documents beyond the list.
• On the first working day of every month, the office puts the transformer feasibility report on its notice board.
• Plant capacity is taken as the inverter capacity or 85% of the panel capacity, whichever is higher.
• Feasibility is decided within 15 days at most, and offices should try to decide within 2 working days. The certificate can be sent by email, WhatsApp or post, and is valid for 30 days.
• Registration (Annexure-B) within 30 days of feasibility, at ₹1,000 + GST per kW, with a single-line diagram by an A or B class contractor, inverter, panel and isolator specifications, and type-test certificates for the MCB, ELCB and inverter.
• Single-phase inverters are allowed only up to 5 kW. Registration is valid for one year, extendable by six months.
• Installation is by a licensed contractor, who submits Annexure-C. A meter test certificate from an NABL-accredited lab is mandatory.
• Up to 50 kW, no Electrical Inspector approval is needed; the contractor's completion certificate is enough.
• After Annexure-C, the Annexure-D agreement is signed on ₹200 stamp paper, and grid connection follows within 2 working days (7 days at most).
