Local Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions for Vijayawada

Key considerations regarding utility approvals, terrace usability, and subsidy paperwork.

How does APCPDCL process net-metering connections in Vijayawada?

APCPDCL assesses rooftop solar feasibility through its online portal. Leo Solar prepares the required single-line drawings, coordinates inspection with the local divisional engineer, and synchronizes the bi-directional meter.

What is the transformer capacity limit for solar installations under APCPDCL?

APCPDCL allows rooftop solar capacity on distribution transformers up to 80% of rated capacity under current APERC guidelines, providing substantial headroom for urban connections.

Can businesses in Autonagar install solar under commercial net-metering?

Yes. Enterprises in Autonagar can deploy rooftop solar systems to offset high commercial tariff consumption, with surplus energy banking available within billing cycles.
