Utility and Connection

The DISCOM, service and feasibility checks required before grid assumptions are finalized.

Rooftop-solar approval is handled through the applicable DISCOM or utility process. The consumer number, service category, sanctioned load, phase type, transformer or feeder constraints and current application route can affect feasibility.

Why It Matters

How this information affects design, approval, cost and project reliability.

The local DISCOM is responsible for practical feasibility, inspection and metering steps.
Connection capacity and phase arrangement can limit or change the proposed inverter capacity.
Application routes, forms, fees and timelines vary by state, DISCOM and consumer category.
Hybrid battery functions do not remove the need to comply with grid-interconnection rules.

Complete Checklist

Everything that should be collected or confirmed for this readiness topic.

Correct DISCOM and subdivision for the consumer account.
Consumer number, service category, sanctioned load and phase type.
Applicable national-portal or DISCOM application route.
Technical-feasibility requirement and application status.
Any capacity limit linked to sanctioned load, transformer or feeder conditions.
Required owner identity, electricity-bill and authorization records.
Applicable inspection, agreement, meter and commissioning steps.
Contact or portal reference for tracking and corrections.

Verification Process

The practical sequence used to review and confirm the information.

Match the proposed site to the correct utility and consumer account.
Review current portal and DISCOM instructions.
Submit complete feasibility information through the applicable route.
Track approval, rejection or correction requests.
Keep the final feasibility or approval record in the project file.
Reconfirm if system capacity or inverter configuration changes.

Common Issues to Avoid

Frequent gaps that cause redesign, delay, rejection or unrealistic expectations.

A process from another DISCOM or state is assumed to apply.
Application details do not match the electricity bill.
Installation begins before required feasibility approval.
System capacity changes after approval without review.
Battery backup is mistaken for permission to operate or export outside utility requirements.

Records Produced

The documents or outputs that should remain in the final project file.

Utility and connection verification sheet.
Portal application or acknowledgment.
Technical-feasibility response.
Correction or clarification record.
Approved capacity and connection-condition summary.

Ready When

The completion conditions that allow the proposal to move forward confidently.

The correct utility process is identified.
Consumer, phase and sanctioned-load details are verified.
Required feasibility approval is received or its status is clearly known.
Proposed capacity and configuration match the submitted application.
Inspection and metering steps are understood.

Important planning note

Utility procedures and feasibility conditions can change; verify the current DISCOM requirement for the specific consumer before committing to approval, export or commissioning timelines.
