PM Surya Ghar Yojana & Subsidy Assistance
Solar, Made More Affordable
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is the Government of India's flagship scheme to help households go solar with substantial financial support — covering a significant part of your system cost through direct subsidy. But the application process involves several steps: registration, DISCOM approval, technical feasibility, installation, and subsidy disbursement.
As an empanelled vendor under this scheme, SSHM manages the entire process on your behalf — from initial registration to final subsidy credit — so you get the full benefit without the paperwork hassle.
About the Scheme
Launched by the Government of India, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana aims to help one crore households install rooftop solar systems, reducing their electricity bills and promoting clean energy adoption. Under the scheme, eligible households receive a direct subsidy based on system size, which is credited directly to their bank account after installation and net-metering approval.
(Scheme terms and subsidy amounts are set by the government and may be revised from time to time — SSHM keeps you informed of the latest applicable rates at the time of your application.)
How Much Subsidy Can You Get
| System Size | Subsidy Amount |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 kW | ₹30,000 |
| Up to 2 kW | ₹60,000 |
| 3 kW and above | ₹78,000 (maximum) |
Subsidy is calculated as ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW, and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW, capped at ₹78,000 regardless of system size beyond 3 kW. Rates are as per current government notification and are subject to revision — we confirm exact applicable figures at the time of your application.
