 +Want to cut your light bill with a subsidised rooftop solar panel? Here is what to do first, before anything else.
 +
 +  - **Open [[https://pmsuryaghar.gov.in|pmsuryaghar.gov.in]] and register.** You need your electricity consumer number, your state, your DISCOM name, and your mobile number. The consumer number is printed on your electricity bill.
 +  - **Log in and apply for rooftop solar.** Pick the system size you want, from 1 kW up to 3 kW or more. The portal shows your likely subsidy amount on screen.
 +  - **Wait for the DISCOM feasibility approval.** Your power company checks your roof and connection and gives a go-ahead. You cannot install before this.
 +  - **Choose a registered vendor from the portal list.** Only an empanelled vendor keeps your subsidy safe. Pay through the portal trail, never loose cash.
 +  - **Get it installed, then apply for the net meter.** After the panels are up, the DISCOM fits a two-way meter and inspects the work.
 +  - **Submit your bank details for the subsidy.** Once the meter is in and the plant is certified, the central subsidy comes to your account in about a month.
 +
 +That is the whole journey in one glance. Now let us slow down and explain each part, because a few small mistakes here are what hold most families up.

 +
 +===== What you get =====
 +
 +Let us be plain about the money, because the "free electricity" name confuses a lot of people.
 +
 +The central government pays a fixed subsidy based on the size of your system. The slab works like this.
 +
 +^ System size ^ Central subsidy ^
 +| 1 kW | Rs 30,000 |
 +| 2 kW | Rs 60,000 |
 +| 3 kW and above | Rs 78,000 (capped) |
 +
 +The rule behind the table is simple. You get Rs 30,000 for each of the first two kilowatts, then Rs 18,000 for the third kilowatt, and the subsidy stops growing after that. So a 3 kW system and a 5 kW system both get the same Rs 78,000 from the centre. Anything above 3 kW, you pay for yourself.
 +
 +The "up to 300 units a month free" line is the part people misread. The government is not handing you 300 free units as a gift. A rooftop system of about 2 to 3 kW, in decent sunlight, can generate enough power to cover the daily needs of an average home. When your panels make more than you use, that surplus goes back to the grid and shows up as a credit on your bill through net metering. Put together, a right-sized system can bring a typical home's bill close to zero, which works out to around 300 units of value a month for many households. Your real saving depends on your roof, your sunlight, and how much power you use. Treat 300 units as a ceiling for a well-planned system, not a promise printed on a card.
 +
 +===== Who is eligible =====
 +
 +The scheme is built for ordinary home users, not for factories or big commercial buildings. You can apply if you tick these boxes.
 +
 +  * You are an **Indian household** with a rooftop you own, or a rented home where the owner gives written consent.
 +  * Your home has a **working grid electricity connection** with a DISCOM consumer number.
 +  * You have an **Aadhaar-linked bank account** so the subsidy can reach you directly.
 +  * Your roof can take the **load and the area** a solar plant needs. A rough guide is about 10 square metres for each kilowatt.
 +
 +There is no separate income test to clear. A middle-class family and a lower-income family both qualify, though the scheme gives extra push to homes that have never had this kind of support. The target is one crore households across the country by the financial year 2026 to 2027, so the rollout is wide and still running. Check the current status and any state add-ons on the portal before you apply.
 +
 +===== How much roof space and sunlight do you need? =====
 +
 +This is the first practical question every family asks, and the answer decides whether the scheme makes sense for your home.
 +
 +**Roof area:** A standard rooftop solar panel measures roughly 2 square metres. For each kilowatt of installed capacity, you need about 8 to 10 square metres of shadow-free roof space. A 1 kW system fits on a small terrace, while a 3 kW system needs roughly 25 to 30 square metres. Flat roofs, reinforced concrete (RCC) slabs, and metal sheet roofs all work. Tiled or asbestos roofs may need structural checks before installation.
 +
 +**Sunlight hours:** India receives 4 to 6 peak sunlight hours per day on average across most states. A 1 kW system generates about 4 to 5 units per day in good conditions, a 2 kW system about 8 to 10 units, and a 3 kW system about 12 to 15 units. Over a month, a 3 kW system can produce 300 to 450 units, which is why the "300 free units" figure makes sense for a well-sized setup. States in the northern and western belt — Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh — see the best generation. Hilly and northeastern states see slightly lower output but still qualify.
 +
 +**Shading:** Nearby buildings, water tanks, satellite dishes, and tree branches that cast shadows on the panels during peak hours can cut generation by 15 to 30 percent. The vendor's site inspection checks for this. If your roof has partial shading, consider micro-inverters or optimisers, though they add to the cost.
 +
 +**Roof orientation:** In India, panels should face south for maximum generation. East-facing and west-facing panels lose about 15 to 20 percent efficiency but are still acceptable if south is not possible.
 +
 +Use the official [[https://pmsuryaghar.gov.in/solar/calculator|solar calculator on pmsuryaghar.gov.in]] to estimate generation for your specific location and system size before you commit.
 +
 +===== What is the full subsidy timeline from registration to money in your bank? =====
 +
 +Most families underestimate how long each step takes. The table below lays out the typical timeline from the day you register to the day the subsidy lands in your bank account. These are indicative ranges based on the scheme's design and common experience; your actual timeline depends on your DISCOM's speed and your vendor's coordination.
 +
 +^ Step ^ What happens ^ Typical time ^ Who acts ^
 +| 1. Registration | You register on the portal with your consumer number and details | Day 1 | You |
 +| 2. Application | You submit the rooftop solar application with system size | Day 1 to 2 | You |
 +| 3. Feasibility approval | DISCOM checks your connection and roof feasibility | 7 to 15 days | DISCOM |
 +| 4. Vendor selection and agreement | You pick a registered vendor and sign the agreement | 3 to 7 days | You |
 +| 5. Installation | Vendor installs panels, inverter, and wiring | 7 to 15 days | Vendor |
 +| 6. Net meter application | You apply for net metering through the portal | Day of installation | You |
 +| 7. Net meter installation and inspection | DISCOM fits the two-way meter and inspects the plant | 15 to 30 days | DISCOM |
 +| 8. Commissioning certificate | DISCOM issues the commissioning certificate after inspection passes | 2 to 7 days after inspection | DISCOM |
 +| 9. Bank details submission | You upload commissioning certificate and bank account details | Day of commissioning | You |
 +| 10. Subsidy disbursement | Central subsidy credited to your bank account | 30 to 60 days after commissioning | MNRE via DISCOM |
 +
 +**Total typical timeline:** Registration to working net-metered system is often 60 to 90 days. The subsidy then follows 30 to 60 days after commissioning, making the full journey roughly 90 to 150 days. If your DISCOM is slow or your vendor is unresponsive, it can stretch longer. The most common bottleneck is step 3 (feasibility approval) and step 7 (net meter installation), both of which depend entirely on your DISCOM.
 +
 +If your timeline stretches well beyond these ranges, the RTI escalation routes later in this article are designed for exactly this situation. You can also check your [[pm-surya-ghar-subsidy-status-2026|PM Surya Ghar subsidy status for 2026]] for current tracking methods.
 +
 +===== How to apply, step by step =====
 +
 +  - **Register on the portal.** Go to [[https://pmsuryaghar.gov.in|pmsuryaghar.gov.in]], pick your state and DISCOM, and enter your consumer number and mobile number. You will get a login.
 +  - **Fill the rooftop solar application.** Enter the system size you want and your basic details. The portal estimates your subsidy.
 +  - **Get DISCOM feasibility approval.** Your power company reviews the request and confirms your connection can take a rooftop plant. This step protects you from installing something the grid cannot accept.
 +  - **Pick a registered vendor.** The portal lists empanelled vendors for your area. Choose one, agree on the price in writing, and keep every payment inside the portal trail.
 +  - **Install the plant.** The vendor fits the panels, the inverter, and the wiring. Ask for the make and model of every part for your records.
 +  - **Apply for net metering and inspection.** After installation, request the net meter through the portal. The DISCOM installs a two-way meter and inspects the system.
 +  - **Get the plant commissioned.** Once the inspection passes, the DISCOM issues a commissioning certificate. This is the document that unlocks your subsidy.
 +  - **Submit bank details for the subsidy.** Upload your commissioning certificate and bank account on the portal. The central subsidy reaches your account in about 30 days, sometimes a little longer.
 +
 +===== A real-world before and after =====
 +
 +Think about a typical four-person family in a small town who own their house and pay around Rs 2,500 a month for electricity. Summer is the worst. The fans and the cooler run all day, the bill crosses Rs 3,000, and there is always a quiet worry about the next reading.
 +
 +Now picture the same home a few months after a 3 kW rooftop system goes in. The panels carry most of the daytime load. On bright days they make more than the family uses, and that extra feeds the grid for a credit. The monthly bill drops to a token amount, sometimes near zero in good months. The system cost the family a large sum up front, but the Rs 78,000 central subsidy took a real bite out of it, and a collateral-free loan spread the rest into small instalments. Over time the saved bill money covers those instalments. This is the shape of the deal. A big one-time push at the start, then years of low bills after. No fictional figures here, the exact numbers will depend on your own roof and usage.
 +
 +===== What is the collateral-free loan and how does it work? =====
 +
 +Most families cannot pay the full system cost in one go, so the scheme links you to low-interest bank loans for rooftop solar up to 3 kW. The interest works out to around 7 percent for many borrowers, and you do not have to pledge any property as security for the smaller loan sizes. Several public sector banks offer these products, and the exact rate and limit change from bank to bank and from time to time. Do not lock in the first offer you see. Ask two or three banks, compare the rate and the tenure, and check the current terms on the portal before you sign.
 +
 +**How the loan fits with the subsidy:** The bank does not reduce your loan by the subsidy amount up front. Instead, you pay the full system cost (minus any down payment), and the central subsidy arrives in your account after commissioning. Most families use the subsidy cheque to prepay a chunk of the loan principal, which shortens the tenure and reduces the total interest. Ask your bank whether they offer a "solar-linked" product where the subsidy adjustment is built into the repayment schedule.
 +
 +**Eligibility for the loan:** You need a regular income source, a credit score typically above 700, and the same documents listed in the Documents section below. The loan covers systems up to 3 kW under the scheme's model. Some banks extend financing for larger systems, but the collateral-free benefit applies mainly to the subsidised capacity range.
 +
 +===== What documents do you need? =====
 +
 +^ Document ^ Why it is needed ^
 +| Aadhaar | Identity and bank linking |
 +| Latest electricity bill | To confirm your consumer number and DISCOM |
 +| Proof of roof ownership | Or a written no-objection from the owner if you rent |
 +| Bank account details | For the subsidy to be paid directly |
 +| Passport-size photo | For the application record |
 +| PAN card | Required for bank loan processing and KYC |
 +| Income proof (salary slips or ITR) | Needed if you apply for the collateral-free loan |
 +| Property tax receipt | Some DISCOMs ask for this to confirm ownership |
 +
 +Make sure your Aadhaar is linked to your mobile number, because the portal sends OTPs at multiple stages. If your bank account is not Aadhaar-linked, the subsidy cannot be credited — fix this before you apply.
 +
 +===== How does net metering work under PM Surya Ghar? =====
 +
 +Net metering is the core mechanism that turns rooftop solar into real savings. Without it, you would only save on power used while the sun shines. With it, every extra unit your panels produce gets banked with the grid and drawn back at night, effectively making the grid a free battery.
 +
 +**How it works in practice:**
 +
 +  * The DISCOM installs a bidirectional (two-way) meter at your connection. This meter records both the energy you import from the grid and the energy you export to it.
 +  * During the day, your panels power your home first. Any surplus flows to the grid and is recorded as exported energy.
 +  * At night or on cloudy days, you draw power from the grid as usual, recorded as imported energy.
 +  * At the end of each billing cycle, the DISCOM calculates the net: imports minus exports. If you exported more than you imported, the surplus shows as a credit carried forward. If you imported more, you pay for the net difference.
 +
 +**Settlement period:** Most states settle net metering credits monthly, with any annual surplus settled at a fixed rate (often the average pooled purchase cost) or carried forward, depending on your state's solar policy. Some states do not pay cash for annual surplus — they simply carry it forward or zero it out at the financial year end.
 +
 +**Why net meter approval is the biggest delay:** The DISCOM has to procure the meter, schedule a site visit, inspect the installation against the sanctioned design, and then seal the meter. This involves multiple departments and is the step where most applications stall. If your net meter is delayed, see the practical guide on [[practical-guides:solar-net-meter-installation-delayed-rooftop-solar-approval|solar net meter installation delays]] for escalation steps.
 +
 +===== What are common problems and how do you clear them? =====
 +
 +  * **Roof load looks too low.** A weak roof structure may need light reinforcement before panels go up. The vendor inspection flags this early, so ask about it during the site visit, not after.
 +  * **DISCOM feasibility or NOC is stuck.** This is the most common delay. The power company sits on the file and gives no clear reason. A short written request, and then an RTI to the DISCOM citing the scheme guidelines, usually gets the file moving. See [[electricity-connection-delay-cgrf-ombudsman|electricity connection delay and CGRF ombudsman]] for structured escalation.
 +  * **Vendor asks for cash outside the portal.** Do not pay. The subsidy is tied to the portal trail, and a cash deal can leave you with neither the work nor the money. Use only the empanelled vendor list.
 +  * **Net meter is not getting installed.** After your plant is ready, the DISCOM has to fit the two-way meter. If weeks pass with no date, escalate through the portal grievance route, and keep a note of every call.
 +  * **Subsidy is delayed past a month.** Once your commissioning certificate is in and your bank details are uploaded, the money should follow. If it does not, the written routes below are built for exactly this. See also [[practical-guides:rooftop-solar-subsidy-not-credited-application-rejected|rooftop solar subsidy not credited or application rejected]].
 +  * **Wrong bill after net metering starts.** Sometimes the DISCOM continues billing under the old meter reading or fails to apply net metering credits. If your first post-solar bill looks wrong, file a billing correction request with the DISCOM immediately. See [[practical-guides:electricity-bill-doubled-smart-meter-installation|electricity bill doubled after meter installation]] for troubleshooting steps.
 +  * **Vendor abandons the project mid-way.** If your vendor stops responding after a partial payment, report them through the portal grievance system and file a [[complaints:electricity-complaint|consumer complaint]]. Empanelled vendors risk losing their registration, so the threat of a portal complaint often works.
 +
 +===== Subsidy delayed or NOC refused? File an RTI =====
 +
 +When the helpline and the portal grievance lead nowhere, a written Right to Information request often shakes the file loose. The DISCOM or the nodal office then has to answer in writing or explain why it cannot. Most stuck cases get a clear reply, and many move faster once a formal application lands on the officer's desk.
 +
 +RTI is especially effective for PM Surya Ghar because the scheme involves multiple agencies — the MNRE, the state nodal agency, and the DISCOM — each of which is a public authority under the RTI Act. You can file separate RTI applications to each one to pinpoint exactly where your file is stuck.
 +
 +  * **Draft it in minutes:** [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|AI RTI Drafter]]
 +  * **Full filing and appeal process:** [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/book|The RTI Playbook]]
 +  * **If your subsidy itself is stuck:** [[subsidy-status-rti|how to use RTI for delayed subsidy payments]]
 +  * **If the issue is a billing dispute post-installation:** [[rti-for-electricity-bill-dispute|RTI for electricity bill disputes]]
 +  * **If the DISCOM connection itself is delayed:** [[rti-for-electricity-connection-delay|RTI for electricity connection delays]]
 +  * **General electricity complaint RTI template:** [[electricity-complaint-rti|electricity complaint RTI guide]]
 +
 +A landmark case — [[cases:sic-rajasthan-rti-solar-subsidy-2023|SIC Rajasthan RTI on solar subsidy (2023)]] — confirmed that citizens have the right to obtain details of pending solar subsidy applications, vendor empanelment records, and DISCOM feasibility approval timelines through RTI.
 +
 +===== Where this scheme came from =====
 +
 +PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana was launched on 13 February 2024 by the Union government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with an outlay of about Rs 75,021 crore. It is run by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, and it aims to put rooftop solar on one crore homes by the financial year 2026 to 2027. The scheme consolidated and expanded the earlier Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar programme, bringing a simplified single-window portal, higher subsidy slabs, and the collateral-free loan model. You can see it next to every other central and state welfare scheme on the [[:yojana:start|All Modi-era Sarkari Yojana index 2014 to 2026]].
 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +
 +==== How much will I save every year? ====
 +A well-sized 3 kW system in good sunlight can save a typical home a few thousand rupees every month on the bill. Over a year that adds up, and many homes recover the post-subsidy cost in roughly four to five years. Your real saving depends on your roof and your usage. Use the [[https://pmsuryaghar.gov.in/solar/calculator|official solar calculator]] to estimate your specific savings based on your location, system size, and current electricity tariff.
 +
 +==== Is it truly free electricity for everyone? ====
 +No. The scheme gives a subsidy on the system and lets you offset up to 300 units a month through your own generation and net metering. A right-sized plant can bring the bill close to zero, but the exact result varies home to home. It is not a free units gift card.
 +
 +==== Can I get a loan for the installation? ====
 +Yes. The scheme links you to collateral-free bank loans for systems up to 3 kW, at around 7 percent for many borrowers. Rates and limits vary by bank, so compare a few before you sign. You need a PAN card, income proof, and a credit score above 700 for most banks.
 +
 +==== Do I pay the vendor directly in cash? ====
 +No. Choose an empanelled vendor from the portal and keep every payment inside the portal trail. A cash deal outside the system puts your subsidy and your money at risk.
 +
 +==== What about cleaning and repairs later? ====
 +Panels need a wash now and then to stay efficient, and they usually carry a long performance warranty. The inverter is the part most likely to need replacing somewhere down the years. Budget a little for upkeep.
 +
 +==== How long does the whole process take? ====
 +From registration to a working net-metered system is often around 60 to 90 days, depending on how fast your DISCOM moves. The subsidy then lands about a month after commissioning. See the subsidy timeline table above for a step-by-step breakdown.
 +
 +==== Can a tenant apply, or does the owner need to? ====
 +A tenant can apply if the property owner gives written consent (a no-objection letter). The rooftop must be available for the solar plant for the full system life, typically 25 years. The subsidy goes to the applicant whose bank account is linked — discuss with your landlord who benefits before you sign up.
 +
 +==== What happens to my solar system if I move house? ====
 +If you move, the panels typically stay with the property. You can negotiate with the buyer or the landlord to compensate for the system value. The subsidy was paid to the original applicant, so there is no second subsidy for the new owner. If the DISCOM allows, you can transfer the net metering agreement to the new occupant.
 +
 +==== Can I install a system larger than 3 kW? ====
 +Yes, but the central subsidy is capped at Rs 78,000 for 3 kW and above. If you install a 4 kW or 5 kW system, you pay the full cost of the additional capacity yourself. Some DISCOMs impose their own capacity limits based on your sanctioned load, so check with your DISCOM before applying for a larger system.
 +
 +==== Do all states offer the same subsidy? ====
 +The central subsidy slabs (Rs 30,000 to Rs 78,000) are uniform across India. However, some states offer additional top-up subsidies or incentives on top of the central amount. For example, certain states provide extra rebates for BPL families or special category states. Check the portal for your state's specific add-ons before applying.
 +
 +==== What is the difference between PM Surya Ghar and the earlier rooftop solar scheme? ====
 +PM Surya Ghar (launched February 2024) replaced the earlier Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar Programme (Phase I and II). Key changes include higher subsidy slabs (Rs 30,000 to Rs 78,000 vs the earlier Rs 18,000 to Rs 30,000 range), a single-window national portal, collateral-free loan integration, and a target of one crore households. The older scheme's approvals remain valid, but new applications go through the PM Surya Ghar portal only.
 +
 +==== Is there any income limit to apply? ====
 +No. There is no income ceiling. Both middle-class and lower-income households qualify equally. The scheme is designed for residential consumers, not commercial or industrial users.
 +
 +==== What happens if my vendor goes bankrupt mid-project? ====
 +If your vendor stops operating, report the matter through the portal grievance system immediately. You can engage another empanelled vendor to complete the work, and the portal tracks your project stage so you do not lose progress. The subsidy remains tied to your commissioning certificate, not to the vendor, so a vendor failure does not cancel your subsidy eligibility.
 +
 +===== Summary and next step =====
 +
 +<WRAP center round tip 90%>
 +**Bottom line:** a central subsidy of Rs 30,000 to Rs 78,000 on a 1 to 3 kW rooftop solar system, a collateral-free loan for the rest, and a well-sized plant that can offset up to 300 units a month. Apply at pmsuryaghar.gov.in. If the NOC or the subsidy is stuck, an RTI usually clears it.
