What Are Solar Subsidies?

Solar subsidies are government incentives that reduce the upfront cost of installing solar systems. In India, the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli scheme is a flagship subsidy plan for households and approved groups.

Subsidies typically range between ₹30,000 to ₹78,000 depending on system capacity. These incentives help make solar installations more affordable and attractive.

At present, individual homeowners, housing societies, and select consumer segments are eligible under this scheme. Over 1 crore users have registered across India to access these benefits.

How Government Solar Subsidies Work

The scheme subsidizes a portion of your system cost (up to ₹78,000, depending on size). After installation and verification by the local DISCOM, you submit a commissioning certificate. The subsidy is disbursed to your bank within 30 days of approval.

Some states also provide 300 free units annually or net metering where excess electricity is fed to the grid for credit. Over 25 years, these schemes can significantly improve returns on investment.

Choosing Your Solar Vendor

Select vendors registered and approved by your DISCOM for the subsidy scheme. Ensure they follow specifications, performance guarantees, and provide installation & after-sales support.
