PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana Explained: Eligibility, Subsidy & How to Apply
What is PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is a central government scheme that supports residential rooftop solar installation across India, aimed at helping households reduce or eliminate their electricity bills through subsidised solar systems.
Who is eligible?
Broadly, any Indian residential electricity consumer with a valid connection and a rooftop suitable for solar installation can apply. A free site survey confirms your roof's suitability before you proceed.
How much subsidy can you get?
Subsidy is provided on a per-kW basis up to a defined system size, with the exact slab-wise amount set by the scheme guidelines in force at the time of your application. We calculate the precise, current figure for your case during your site survey.
The application process
The process typically involves a site assessment, document submission (identity proof, electricity bill, ownership proof), system installation, inspection, and finally subsidy disbursal alongside net metering activation. See our Subsidy & Government Schemes page for the full breakdown.
Common reasons applications get delayed
Most delays happen due to incomplete documentation or mismatched details between the application and the electricity connection. Working with an installer who handles this paperwork for you significantly reduces this risk.
