विस्तृत सारांश
Overview
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, administered by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), provides a one‑time capital subsidy for installing grid‑connected rooftop solar photovoltaic systems on residential buildings. The target is to equip one crore households with solar panels, thereby reducing dependence on conventional electricity and lowering household energy costs.
Financial Assistance
Eligible beneficiaries receive a subsidy of up to ₹78,000 for a 3 kW system (approximately 30 % of the benchmark cost). The subsidy is transferred directly to the vendor’s bank account after installation and verification.
Benefits to Consumers
- Zero electricity bill for consumption up to 300 units per month.
- Revenue generation by exporting excess solar power to the distribution utility under net metering.
- Environmental advantage through reduced carbon emissions.
- Potential increase in property value due to solar asset.
Implementation
Applications are submitted online via the national rooftop solar portal. Required documents include a recent electricity bill, proof of roof ownership, and a photograph of the installation site. After technical feasibility verification, empaneled vendors undertake installation, commissioning, and subsidy claim processing.
