Official APDCL Solar Vendor Directory & Empanelment Overview
The Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) maintains an official list of registered solar installers qualified to carry out net-metered rooftop solar installations across Assam. To receive government financial assistance under PM Surya Ghar and obtain grid net metering approval, consumers MUST choose an installer from the official APDCL Solar Vendor List.

Why Empanelled APDCL Vendors Are Mandatory
Attempting to set up rooftop solar without an APDCL-empanelled vendor creates severe roadblocks:
- Net Meter Rejection: APDCL will not install bi-directional net meters for non-empanelled setups.
- Safety Compliance: Empaneled vendors ensure single-phase and three-phase inverters contain active Anti-Islanding protection to shield grid repair technicians from electrical backfeed.
- Earthing Verification: Empaneled vendors install dedicated triple-pit chemical earthing to keep fault resistance strictly below 5 Ohms.
