Find answers to common questions about solar power,
subsidies, savings, loans and solar installation.
Yes. For many homeowners, buying a rooftop solar
power plant is worth it, especially if your home
receives good sunlight and has a moderate-to-high
electricity bill.
Under the PM Surya Ghar scheme, a total subsidy of ₹1,00,000 (₹78,000 Central MNRE + ₹22,000 Tamil Nadu State) is available for a 3 kWp solar system. The amount is directly credited to your Aadhaar-linked bank account via DBT within 15 to 30 working days after net-meter commissioning and DISCOM inspection approval.
Solar power can significantly reduce electricity
bills by generating clean energy directly from
sunlight.
Depending on electricity consumption and solar
system size, savings can be up to 70%–90% or more
on monthly electricity costs.
Yes. Loans are available from nationalized banks
and NBFCs. Interest rates may be available from
6% onwards, depending on the bank, customer
eligibility and current loan policies.
Solar can reduce your electricity bill
significantly. However, the final bill depends
on your electricity consumption, solar system
capacity, tariff structure and applicable
network or fixed charges.
Subsidy schemes generally depend on the applicable
government solar programme. Residential consumers
are typically the main beneficiaries of rooftop
solar subsidy schemes.
