Solar Subsidy Scheme

About Solar Subsidy Scheme

To boost the usage of solar energy in the residential sector, solar subsidy program is put in place under PM Surya Ghar Yojana 2024, reducing the financial burden of installing RTS, by providing financial assistance to consumers.

With this incentive, residential consumers can save up to 60% of their installation cost. A quick look at how much is the incentive and how one claim.

Key points on Subsidy Scheme

The central government launched the National Portal for Rooftop Solar, to make the process for applying for solar much simpler. Now, consumer from anywhere across India, can directly apply for a solar subsidy online, and track the entire process from application to the transfer of subsidy funds into the bank account.

It is applicable for residential consumers only.

Central Financial Assistance (CFA)

In 2022, the Indian government announced that it was implementing the Rooftop Solar Programme Phase II. Under the scheme, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) will provide Central Financial Assistance to residential consumers for installing rooftop solar systems (RTS).

The programme will be implemented by DISCOMs and respective state agencies. The best part about the CFA is that it offers direct benefit transfer (DBT), i.e. consumers will directly receive the incentive in their bank accounts.

How much subsidy is available?​

  • Solar energy systems of capacity upto 2 KW are eligible for a subsidy of ₹30,000/KW.
  • For a system capacity of 3KW, consumer can avail a subsidy of ₹78,000.
  • For all system capacities exceeding 3KW, a fixed subsidy of ₹78,000 will be provided.

This is the revised subsidy structure announced under the newly launched Surya Ghar Yojana. Consequently, this CFA is available to only those consumers who apply for rooftop solar after 13th February 2024.

CFA applicable for whom ?

Currently, CFA is available to residential consumers with a grid-connected system. Moreover, Group Housing Society/ Resident Welfare Association (GHS/RWA) can also avail the incentive.

  • 18,000 per kW for common facilities, including EV charging, up to 500kW capacity (@3 kW per house) with the upper limit being inclusive of individual rooftop plants installed by individual residents in the GHS/RWA
