PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana: Save Big with Rooftop Solar for Your Home

| Bharat Charge | MNRE Empaneled Vendor

Looking to reduce your electricity bill? The Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PM-SGMBY) is a game-changing rooftop solar subsidy scheme launched by the Government of India in 2024. With this initiative, eligible households can install rooftop solar systems and receive up to ₹78,000 in subsidy, making solar more affordable than ever.

Let’s simplify how the scheme works, who can apply, and how Bharat Charge can help you take full advantage.

What is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?

PM-SGMBY is a central government scheme designed to promote grid-connected rooftop solar installations for residential homes across India.

Key Benefits:

  • Up to ₹78,000 subsidy for residential rooftop solar (up to 3 kW capacity)
  • Under the scheme, households that install rooftop solar panels can generate electricity for self-use, significantly reducing their power bills. A properly sized system (e.g., 3 kW) can generate around 300 units per month, translating into substantial savings — often making your bill zero or near-zero.
  • Net metering to export surplus power to the grid and earn credits
  • Target: 1 crore residential households
  • Subsidy amount is directly credited to your Aadhaar-linked bank account post-verification

Who is Eligible?

You can apply for this scheme if:

  • You own a residential property with a suitable rooftop
  • You have a valid electricity connection
  • Your bank account is linked to Aadhaar
  • You agree to install through an MNRE-approved vendor (like Bharat Charge)

This scheme is not applicable to:

  • Tenants or renters without rooftop rights
  • Commercial, institutional, or industrial properties

Subsidy Structure

Here’s how much subsidy you can get based on your system size:

System Size Subsidy Amount
1 kW ₹30,000
2 kW ₹60,000
3 kW ₹78,000
>3 kW ₹78,000 (capped)
  • Save up to ₹2,000/month on your power bill
  • Typical return on investment: 4–5 years
  • Lifespan of the system: 20–25 years
