    No. There is no free solar scheme run by the government. These are rumours created by fake website. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is actually running a subsidized rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers where the consumers can get upto Rs 78,000 subsidies for installting rooftop solar. However, they have to bear the upfront cost on their own at the time of installation. There are other subsidized solar schemes too like PM-KUSUM where farmers get solar pumps with subsidy support.

    The structure holds your entire solar system together. Poor-quality mounting structures can collapse in high winds or storms, risking lives and damaging property—even if your solar panels and inverters are top-grade.

However, in commercial projects, solar project developers earn money from solar projects. But usually to make money and profits from solar plants, you need to invest more and go through other formalities
