Policy and Schemes

Under the PM Surya Ghar Scheme, there is a cap on the capacity of a solar plant that a residential household can install. In most states, the sanctioned load or household meter capacity determines the maximum permissible system size. The scheme also places a limit on the total subsidy that can be availed. For instance, if a household has already received a subsidy of Rs 78,000 for a 3 kW system, it cannot claim additional subsidy for future system expansion, even if such an expansion is permitted under state power regulatory rules.

There is a subsidy of Rs 30,000 for the first two Kilowatt, and then, 18,000 for the third Kilowatt of installtion, capping total subsidy to a maximum of RS 78,000. State governments are free to add to this amount.
