In this blog, we are going to discuss about general project development process for grid connected
rooftop solar PV projects in India. The general set of stages that most project development
processes follow, which includes :
(i) Project Planning/ Preparation(ii) System Design
(iii) Implementation
(iv) Operation & Maintenance
