Sub : solar rooftop system at service connection no[protected]
Approval of cm's rooftop solar scheme oni[protected]

Sir,

I applied for solar rooftop panel in feb 2017. It was duly approved and installed at my house at the above address in march 2017.

I paid for the net meter in full in april 2017. The net meter has not been supplied despite my follow up at all levels.

I spent rs 1.5 lakhs (One and a half lakhs) believing the promise of savings every month and also due to my interest to preserve the environment.

After approving my application under the scheme and making me spend 1.5 lakhs of my hard earned money, tneb has not connected the system to the grid, which has resulted in financial loss as well mental agony. If there was any policy decision pending, tneb must not have approved my application. It is “promissory estoppel” which is illegal.

The act of not supplying the net meter even after receiving full payment is deficiency of service as defined by the consumer protection act.

I request you to supply the net meter and connect the solar system to the grid within a week, failing which, i will be constrained to approach the consumer court.

Thank you,

S. Arul selvan
