Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL) has now allowed the use of hybrid inverters for Rooftop Solar (RTS) systems in Rajasthan. JVVNL brought the latest notice in view of the increasing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) use, which has assumed importance in the power distribution network.
The state's need for the BESS project is being driven by increasing renewable energy sources integration and the growing need to manage grid stability, peak load management, and improve power quality. It also facilitates better integration of rooftop solar and other distributed renewable energy resources by addressing intermittency issues.
Earlier this year, the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd (RRECL) floated one of the country’s largest solar-plus-storage tenders on behalf of the Rajasthan government, seeking 2,450 MW of solar power capacity. The tender was paired with 1,600 MW / 6,400 MWh of Energy Storage Systems (ESS), underscoring a major push toward integrated renewable energy development in the state.
Rooftop Solar To Include Tech Component
As per MNRE guidelines, rooftop solar installations may include additional technology components such as small wind hybrids, battery storage, solar tracker systems, etc. However, the CFA calculation shall be based on the CFA structure under the scheme as per the capacity of solar modules installed in the system.
Further, the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC), in its RERC (Grid Interactive Distributed Renewable Energy Generating Systems) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2025, has considered BESS as a part of the Renewable Energy Generating System.
To ensure a reliable, efficient, and quality power supply to consumers, RERC proposes that consumers who wish to install a hybrid inverter along with their RE plant under Net Metering, Gross Net Metering (GNM), or Virtual Net Metering (VNM) would be allowed to do so.
The latest notice would significantly help strengthen grid stability while empowering consumers with smarter, future-ready energy solutions. Moreover, it would help promote the adoption of hybrid inverters, which play a crucial role in modern solar deployments by intelligently managing solar generation, battery storage, and grid interaction, ensuring maximum self-consumption and backup reliability.
