Everything you need to know about the PM Surya Ghar scheme — and how Grinew handles it for you.
What is PM Surya Ghar?
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India scheme to help households install rooftop solar. Eligible homes receive central financial assistance (subsidy) directly in their bank account, and can generate their own clean electricity for decades.
Eligibility
- The applicant is an Indian citizen.
- The applicant owns a house with a roof suitable for installing solar panels.
- The household has a valid electricity connection in the applicant's name.
- The household has not availed any other subsidy for solar panels.
Subsidy information
- ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW
- ₹18,000 per kW for the third kW
- Maximum ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above
Subsidy amounts are set by the Government and may change. Grinew confirms the applicable subsidy at the time of application.
