The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG: MBY) portal has introduced a new consumer approval step for Vendor-Consumer Agreements before rooftop solar installation can proceed. Under the updated process, consumers are required to review and approve the agreement through their portal login.
As part of the revised procedure, vendors uploading agreements through the My Applications module must enter the total cost of the rooftop solar (RTS) installation, including taxes and all applicable charges. The total amount entered by the vendor must correspond with the quotation amount submitted during the Feasibility stage, wherever applicable, including loan applications and installations involving capacities above 10 kW.
After the vendor uploads the agreement, the application status will remain pending and display the message “Agreement sent to Consumer for Confirmation.” The consumer will receive an SMS, email and notification through the portal, allowing them to review the agreement and either approve or reject it.
The Upload Installation option will remain disabled until the consumer provides approval for the agreement. If the consumer rejects the document, the vendor will be able to access the rejection remarks and submit a corrected agreement for review.
Any changes made to an agreement after consumer approval will invalidate the earlier approval. The agreement will then have to go through the consumer verification process again.
The PMSG: MBY team has instructed vendors to ensure that the information provided in the agreement is accurate. This includes the agreement details, component brands and pricing, which are required to match the information available on the portal and the actual rooftop solar installation.
