The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is revolutionizing how residential homes across India harness the power of the sun. Launched with a budget outlay of ₹75,021 crore, this initiative aims to empower households with rooftop solar installations while promoting energy independence. Here’s everything you need to know about the scheme and how you can benefit from its Central Financial Assistance (CFA).
Why Choose Rooftop Solar Under PM Surya Ghar?
Subsidized Costs: Residential consumers can avail CFA of up to 60% for the first 2 kWp and 40% for the next 1 kWp. For installations exceeding these capacities, consumers benefit from the benchmark costs provided annually.
Free/Low-Cost Electricity: The scheme targets up to 300 units of free electricity per month for 1 crore households. This translates to significant savings, especially for energy-intensive homes.
Eco-Friendly Impact: By contributing to renewable energy goals, rooftop solar systems under this scheme can help reduce 720 million tons of CO2 emissions during their 25-year lifecycle.
How to Get Started with PM Surya Ghar?
Register on the National Portal: Visit PM Surya Ghar Portal to apply. Choose your rooftop solar vendor from a government-approved list.
Vendor Selection: The scheme incorporates a Vendor Rating Programme, ensuring you select only certified and high-performing providers. Vendors are evaluated based on quality, safety, and performance.
System Installation: Once you finalize a vendor, the installation process begins. It includes approvals, net-metering setup, and system commissioning.
Subsidy Disbursement: Post-installation and inspection, the CFA is directly transferred to your account, minimizing paperwork and delays.
Innovative Financing Options
The scheme supports capex models (consumer-funded systems) and is introducing payment security mechanisms to de-risk investments. This ensures that vendors and developers are compensated promptly, reducing barriers to adoption.
Benefits for the Ecosystem
For Consumers: Lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
For Vendors: A structured and transparent process to ensure high-quality installations.
For India: Progress towards 30 GW of rooftop solar capacity by 2027 and fulfillment of the country’s green commitments.
