PM Surya Ghar Subsidy
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India initiative designed to encourage homeowners to adopt clean and affordable solar energy. Through this scheme, eligible residential consumers can install rooftop solar systems and receive Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to reduce the overall installation cost. Homeowners can receive ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW of installed capacity and ₹18,000 per kW for the next 1 kW, with a maximum subsidy of ₹78,000 per household. Group Housing Societies (RWAs) are also eligible for financial assistance for common-area solar installations, making renewable energy more accessible to apartment communities. The subsidy amount is determined based on the lowest of the approved solar panel capacity, inverter capacity, or the capacity sanctioned by the local DISCOM
Essential Components of a Rooftop Solar System
A high-quality rooftop solar system consists of carefully selected components that work together to deliver safe, efficient, and reliable electricity generation. The system includes ALMM-approved solar panels, which are mandatory for government subsidy eligibility and ensure superior quality and long-term performance.
Other essential components include a high-efficiency solar inverter that converts DC electricity into usable AC power, a durable mounting structure designed to withstand various weather conditions, and comprehensive electrical protection equipment such as earthing systems, surge protection devices, lightning arrestors, MCBs, isolators, and high-quality AC/DC cables. A net meter is also installed to measure electricity imported from and exported to the grid, enabling consumers to benefit from net metering under applicable regulations
