Integration of the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) verification portal with the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana portal and stringent solar module verification processes have left rooftop solar installers with a unique challenge. When installers try to update module details on the PM Surya Ghar portal, an error message throws up, saying the module number already exists in the system. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has mandated that starting December 1, 2024, only solar modules whose DCR credentials can be verified through the DCR verification portal will be accepted under the PM Surya Ghar program.
