PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana: A Game-Changer in India’s Solar Energy Revolution
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana stands as a pivotal initiative in this green energy revolution. Designed to empower homeowners by making solar energy accessible and affordable, this scheme is set to transform India’s energy landscape. With companies like Sensol Technologies at the forefront of solar solutions, this initiative promises to be a game-changer for millions of households across the country.
Understanding the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is an innovative program launched by the Indian government to make solar power widely accessible and affordable for households across the country. Recognizing the challenges of high initial costs, the government has designed this scheme to offer substantial subsidies, reducing the financial burden of rooftop solar installation for families. Through collaborations with empanelled installers, like Sensol Technologies, and state governments, this initiative aims to not only increase solar adoption but also educate the public on the benefits of renewable energy. By integrating incentives with a simplified installation process, the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is bringing solar energy directly to people’s rooftops, transforming homes into small-scale power plants and moving India closer to its renewable energy targets.
Latest Subsidy Scheme: Current Subsidy Rates under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
Under the latest guidelines for the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the subsidy structure has been simplified to maximize affordability for households across India. The current subsidy rates are as follows:
- 1 kW System: Eligible households receive a subsidy of Rs 30,000 for a 1 kW rooftop solar system.
- 2 kW System: For installations of 2 kW, the subsidy amount is Rs 60,000, making it easier for families to adopt solar without high initial costs.
- 3 kW and Above: For systems of 3 kW and above, a subsidy of Rs 78,000 is provided. This subsidy applies up to the 3 kW capacity, encouraging larger households to invest in renewable energy.
This updated subsidy scheme, combined with financing options through PM Jan Samarth, further reduces the financial barriers to adopting solar energy, making solar power accessible to a broad range of households across the country
Attractive Bank Support through PM Jan Samarth
To further ease the financial journey for households interested in going solar, the government has introduced PM Jan Samarth, a credit-linked program designed to provide affordable financing options for solar installations under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Through this scheme, households can access low-interest loans and flexible repayment options from partnered banks, reducing the upfront financial load even further. PM Jan Samarth connects applicants with banks that offer tailored financing packages, simplifying the loan application process while making solar energy accessible to more families across income levels. This integrated support ensures that individuals can start benefiting from solar power with minimal initial expenditure, making the shift to clean energy financially feasible for everyone.
