PM Surya Ghar Yojana: Complete Guide to Government Solar Subsidy

The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is the Government of India's flagship scheme to bring rooftop solar to one crore households. Here's a straightforward breakdown of how it works.

What is PM Surya Ghar?

Launched to accelerate residential solar adoption, the scheme offers direct subsidy support for rooftop solar installations, aiming to help households cut their electricity bills to zero while contributing to India's clean energy goals.

Who is eligible?

• Indian residential electricity consumers with a valid connection
• Homeowners with suitable, unshaded roof space
• Applicants who haven't already availed subsidy on a previous rooftop installation

Subsidy slabs (indicative)

Subsidy is typically structured by system size — smaller systems (1–2kW) receive a higher per-kW subsidy, with the total capped as system size increases beyond 3kW. Exact figures are revised periodically by the ministry, so it's best to confirm current slabs at the time of application.

Documents typically required

• Latest electricity bill
• Proof of roof ownership / No Objection Certificate where applicable
• Aadhaar and bank account details for subsidy disbursal
• Site photographs
