PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana

The central government subsidy scheme for residential rooftop solar. Here is what it actually involves, and which parts we handle for you.

01The scheme

What it covers

01

Who is eligible

Residential electricity consumers with a valid connection and a shadow-free roof they own or are authorised to use. Commercial and industrial connections are not covered by this scheme.

02

What is required

The system must use DCR solar modules, be installed by a registered vendor, and be net-metered by your DISCOM before the subsidy claim can be filed.

03

How it is paid

The subsidy is credited directly to your bank account after installation, net metering and verification. It is not deducted from your invoice upfront.

02The real sequence

What actually happens, in order

Most delays in rooftop solar happen between these steps, not during the installation. This is the part we take off your hands.

01

Registration

Your consumer details are registered on the PM Surya Ghar portal, followed by registration with MPWZ. The order matters: the DISCOM registration always follows the portal registration.

02

Agreement and installation

The model agreement is executed and the system is installed. Every panel serial number, the inverter number and the meter details are recorded, because the portal will ask for them.

03

Net metering

The work completion file goes to the DISCOM, the bi-directional meter is installed, and the junior engineer signs off. This is the longest stage and the one we chase hardest.

04

Inspection and subsidy

After commissioning and inspection, the subsidy claim is filed and tracked until the amount is credited to your account. We check the status regularly rather than waiting for you to ask.

Why we do not print a subsidy figure on this page

The applicable amount depends on your sanctioned system size and the slab in force at the time of your claim. We confirm the exact figure for your case in writing with your quotation. A number on a website that later turns out to be wrong helps nobody.

What is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
It is a Government of India scheme that gives a direct subsidy to residential consumers who install a rooftop solar system. The subsidy is credited to your bank account after the system is installed, net-metered and verified. Indian Solar Force handles the registration, filing and claim process for you.
How much subsidy will I get?
The amount depends on your sanctioned system size and the current scheme slab. Our team confirms the exact applicable amount for your case before you sign anything. We never quote a subsidy figure we cannot deliver.
Can I take a bank loan for rooftop solar?
Yes. Rooftop solar is covered under the Jan Samarth portal and by banks such as Bank of Maharashtra and SBI. We prepare the complete file - digital approval letter, model agreement, quotation, feasibility report - and coordinate with the branch on your behalf.
What is net metering?
Net metering is the arrangement with your DISCOM that lets the extra units your solar system exports flow into the grid and get adjusted against the units you consume. We file the complete net-metering application and follow it through to meter installation.
How much roof area do I need?
As a general rule each kW of rooftop solar needs roughly 100 sq ft of shadow-free roof area. Our site survey confirms the exact usable area at your property.
How long does installation take?
Once the advance is received, the site survey is done and the agreement is signed, installation itself is typically completed in one to three days. Net metering and subsidy credit follow their own government timelines.
What after-sales service do I get?
Every completed project moves into a service contract with a full asset registry of every panel, inverter and meter installed. Complaints are routed automatically - warranty issues to the manufacturer, cleaning and maintenance to our O&M engineers, and any installation issue is handled in-house by us.
Do you work with commercial and industrial customers?
Yes. Commercial rooftop projects follow a separate track - no residential subsidy applies, different panel options are permitted, and the financial case is built around tariff savings and depreciation benefit.
