Uma ji,
First of all, i would like to extend my thank to you to spread the awareness among the Solar power Developer (SPD) and farmers who have the good quantity of uncultivable land in his/her name quite close to DISCOM sub-station preferably 11KV or 33KV/ 415V to harness the maximum benefit of scheme. the facts remain that the it would be difficult to search the uncultivable land by interested SPD. Some of the state has also float the tender and asked the interested farmers to participate in the process directly or through Investors like (SPD). Further the distance between the propose site to nearest Sub-station will also play the crucial role in workability of scheme or projects as cost of solar power power has already foxed for next 25 years. If any developer interested for investment up to 750KWp, surrounding to Bhopal area about 30 KM then i would be ready to offer the land on partnership basis or leased bases.
