The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India initiative designed to encourage residential consumers to install rooftop solar systems and generate clean electricity for their homes. The scheme provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to eligible residential consumers for grid-connected rooftop solar installations.
Saraswati Renewable Energy Private Limited helps customers understand rooftop solar solutions and the subsidy process so they can make an informed decision about installing a solar system for their home. The scheme aims to help households reduce electricity expenses, use renewable energy, and generate clean power from their rooftops.
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana focuses on increasing the use of rooftop solar among residential electricity consumers. Under the scheme, eligible households can receive financial assistance for installing an eligible grid-connected rooftop solar system.
The programme has a total outlay of ₹75,021 crore and aims to support rooftop solar installations for 1 crore households. The scheme also promotes the generation of electricity from renewable sources and can help households reduce their dependence on conventional electricity.
Under the current Central Financial Assistance structure for eligible residential rooftop solar systems, the subsidy is calculated according to the installed solar capacity.
| Solar System Capacity | Applicable Subsidy |
|---|---|
| First 2 kW | ₹30,000 per kW |
| Additional capacity up to 3 kW | ₹18,000 per kW |
| Systems above 3 kW | Maximum subsidy capped at ₹78,000 |
For example, an eligible 2 kW residential rooftop solar system can receive up to ₹60,000 of Central Financial Assistance, while a system of 3 kW or more can receive up to ₹78,000, subject to applicable scheme rules and verification.
