Apne Ghar Ki Chhat Par Solar Lagayein

PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India initiative that supports eligible residential households in installing rooftop solar systems. Eligible consumers can receive central financial assistance under the applicable scheme guidelines. The actual benefit depends on eligibility, system capacity, installation and verification requirements.

The subsidy amount depends on the applicable central assistance rates, your location and the eligible rooftop solar capacity. Special-category states may have different rates from other states. The final amount is subject to current government guidelines and approval. Please confirm your eligible subsidy through the official PM Surya Ghar portal before proceeding.

A 3 kW rooftop solar system may require approximately 300–350 square feet of suitable roof space. The exact requirement depends on the module dimensions, layout, roof orientation, shading and the space needed for safe maintenance access. Suntech Energy Solutions can assess your rooftop to determine a suitable layout.

The physical installation of a residential rooftop solar system may take around 1–3 working days after the site is ready. The complete process can take longer depending on site conditions, equipment availability, DISCOM approvals, inspection and net-metering requirements.

Eligible residential consumers generally need to apply through the official PM Surya Ghar portal, select a registered vendor, complete the installation and fulfil the required inspection, net-metering and documentation steps. The subsidy is released after the applicable verification and approval process. Processing time can vary.

Eligible customers may be able to obtain rooftop solar financing through participating banks or financial institutions. Loan approval, interest rates, margin money, repayment period and required documents depend on the lender's terms and the applicant's eligibility. Financing is subject to approval and is not guaranteed.

Most quality solar panels are designed to operate for 25 years or longer, although their electricity output gradually declines over time. Actual performance depends on panel quality, installation, weather, maintenance and the manufacturer's warranty. Inverters and other components may have different warranty periods.

A net meter records electricity imported from the grid and electricity exported from your solar system, as applicable under the local metering arrangement. It helps the DISCOM calculate your electricity bill according to applicable regulations. Meter installation and approval are handled through the relevant DISCOM process.
