Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy RK Singh launched a Standards and Labeling Programme developed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) for Grid-Connected Solar Inverter on Friday. Speaking at the launch event, Singh said that the S&L Programs of BEE have resulted in reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 60 million tonnes per annum. “The S&L Program is an important tool in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The other advantage is that we save money, given the quantum of energy saved. In this way, the Program benefits both the consumer as well as the system.”
The Standards and Labeling Programme for Grid-Connected Solar Inverter has been launched under voluntary phase, valid from March 15, 2024 till December 31, 2025, after which it will be made mandatory.
