Installing rooftop solar can reduce a household’s dependence on grid electricity, but the initial investment often influences the decision. The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana helps eligible residential consumers install grid-connected rooftop solar through Central Financial Assistance, commonly called the solar subsidy.
The scheme is designed for residential electricity consumers. It does not mean that every applicant automatically receives ₹78,000 or 300 free units every month. The subsidy depends on the approved system capacity and successful completion of the prescribed process. Actual electricity generation and bill savings depend on the rooftop, sunlight, system design, electricity use and applicable billing rules.
Bades Solar Solution Pvt. Ltd. is a government-empanelled vendor under the PM Surya Ghar programme. We support eligible homeowners in Chh Sambhajinagar with site assessment, system design, installation and guidance through the required subsidy and net-metering process.
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India programme that promotes grid-connected rooftop solar for residential households. Eligible consumers apply through the National Portal for Rooftop Solar, select an empanelled vendor and complete the required installation and verification stages.
The expression “up to 300 units of free electricity” refers to the potential for a suitably sized rooftop system to generate electricity for household use. It is not a fixed monthly cash benefit or a universal generation guarantee. A home’s result depends on system capacity and operating conditions.
The national portal currently displays the following Central Financial Assistance for eligible residential rooftop systems:
System capacity | Indicative central subsidy
1 kW | ₹30,000
2 kW | ₹60,000
3 kW | ₹78,000
Above 3 kW | ₹78,000 maximum
The calculation is ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the additional third kW. The central subsidy is capped at ₹78,000 for a residential system of 3 kW or more under the current structure.
These figures are subject to the prevailing scheme guidelines. Consumers should verify the current amount and eligibility on the official PM Surya Ghar portal before finalising a project.
The scheme primarily applies to eligible residential electricity consumers installing grid-connected rooftop solar. A consumer generally needs:
Commercial and industrial consumers should not assume that the residential subsidy applies to their projects. Their solar systems can still deliver financial benefits, but the economics and approval routes are different.
The programme requires consumers to select a registered or empanelled vendor through the official process. Empanelment confirms that the vendor is listed for scheme execution; however, homeowners should still evaluate the proposed design, equipment, quotation, warranty and after-sales support.
As a government-empanelled PM Surya Ghar vendor, Bades Solar helps eligible customers understand the technical and procedural stages. Our role includes assessing whether the roof and electricity consumption justify the proposed capacity, preparing a suitable design and completing installation according to the approved scope.
A vendor should never guarantee subsidy credit before the application, installation and verification conditions are completed. Final approval and disbursement depend on the competent authorities and the consumer’s compliance with the scheme.
Visit the National Portal for Rooftop Solar and register using the required consumer and electricity-connection information. Make sure the name, consumer number, DISCOM and contact details match the supporting records.
Enter the requested property and electricity details. Incorrect consumer information or a mismatch between documents can delay the process.
The DISCOM assesses whether the proposed grid-connected system can be approved for the electricity connection. Do not begin a subsidy-dependent installation before understanding the applicable approval sequence.
Choose a vendor available through the official process. Compare the total capacity, panel and inverter specifications, mounting structure, protection systems, warranties and service scope not only the lowest quotation.
The installer should review the previous electricity bills, sanctioned load, usable shadow-free area, roof strength, orientation, access and future electricity needs. Homeowners can also read our guide on how many panels are required for a 3 kW solar system before discussing the layout.
The system should follow the approved design and applicable technical requirements. Government-assisted and net-metering projects must use eligible products under prevailing rules, including applicable ALMM requirements.
After installation, the required information and documents are submitted. The relevant authority or DISCOM completes the prescribed inspection, metering and commissioning process.
Accurate bank and identity details are essential. The subsidy is processed only after successful completion and verification of the required stages.
The portal or DISCOM may request documents such as:
The exact list can vary. Follow the current portal and DISCOM instructions rather than relying on an old checklist.
Subsidy should not be the only basis for choosing a system. A 3 kW system may receive the maximum central subsidy under the current structure, but it is not automatically the correct size for every home.
The recommendation should consider:
If your priority is lowering electricity consumption without battery backup, an on-grid system is often suitable. If backup during outages matters, compare on-grid, off-grid and hybrid solar systems before making the decision. Standard on-grid systems normally shut down during a grid failure for safety.
The application name, consumer number and electricity records should match. Small errors can create avoidable delays.
Consumers should follow the prescribed sequence and obtain the required feasibility or portal approvals.
A low quotation may exclude structural quality, electrical protection, earthing, monitoring, documentation or service support.
Empanelment supports scheme participation, but it does not override eligibility, verification or authority approval.
A mismatch in account-holder details or incomplete bank records can affect processing.
A system can meet the nominal capacity on paper but generate less electricity if the roof has persistent shade.

Yes. Bades Solar Solution Pvt. Ltd. is a government-empanelled vendor under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana and supports eligible residential rooftop solar projects.
Under the current central structure shown on the national portal, an eligible 3 kW residential system can receive up to ₹78,000, subject to application, installation, inspection and verification requirements.
No. The current indicative central subsidy for 1 kW is ₹30,000. The maximum ₹78,000 applies to eligible systems of 3 kW or more.
No. The phrase refers to the potential electricity generation and savings from an appropriately sized rooftop system. Actual generation and bill impact vary by capacity, sunlight, system performance, usage and billing rules.
Eligibility depends on the electricity connection, property rights or owner permission and current portal requirements. A tenant should confirm the position with the property owner and relevant authority before applying.
The residential Central Financial Assistance is intended for eligible residential consumers. Commercial and industrial properties require a separate project assessment and should not assume eligibility.
The programme primarily supports eligible grid-connected rooftop solar systems. Battery or backup components should not be assumed to be covered unless the current scheme explicitly provides otherwise.
There is no responsible universal timeline. Processing depends on the accuracy of the application, feasibility approval, installation, inspection, documentation, DISCOM workflow and current application volume.
PM Surya Ghar can reduce the effective investment required for eligible residential rooftop solar, but homeowners should approach it as a technical and administrative process, not as an instant discount. Correct system sizing, a suitable roof, compliant equipment, accurate documentation and an empanelled vendor all matter.
