3 kW and above (maximum)
Eligible residential consumers receive central financial assistance that reduces the upfront cost of a rooftop solar system.
Power generated on your own rooftop can cover a portion, and in suitable circumstances most, of your household’s electricity needs.
Rooftop solar reduces dependence on conventional grid electricity and supports the shift to renewable energy.
A 3 kW system can generate more than 300 units per month on average under suitable conditions. Actual output depends on sunlight, location, weather, shading, system performance and maintenance.
Generating your own electricity reduces your reliance on the grid during solar generation hours.
Visit the official PM Surya Ghar portal and register with your state, electricity distribution company, consumer account details and registered mobile number, as required.
Complete the rooftop solar application and follow the DISCOM’s feasibility approval process.
Choose a vendor registered on the portal and discuss system capacity, site requirements, installation cost and the applicable subsidy.
Have the system installed in line with the scheme requirements and applicable technical and safety standards.
Finish the documentation, inspection, net-metering and commissioning formalities through your DISCOM and the portal.
Provide your bank account details and supporting documents through the official process. The subsidy is released after the prescribed verification and approval.
