CleanMax helps you make informed decision. Such multiplicity of agency structure, frequently updating policies and regulatory framework creates confusion among existing/potential RE users. What is net metering? How does it help my project? Which state offers the highest benefits for setting up RE project? What is the minimum criteria for availing RE project benefits? Which authority approval is required for my RE project? As sustainability partners of corporates and other commercial users, we at CleanMax , have taken the onus to simplify this information and eliminate the confusion regarding state-wise policies for solar power..
