Electricity is one of the basic needs of every household, but the rising cost of power bills is a growing concern across India. With the average electricity tariff increasing by 5–8% annually, homeowners are looking for smart ways to reduce monthly expenses and generate their own energy.

The Government of India has launched an excellent initiative to solve this problem — the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which aims to make solar energy accessible, affordable, and sustainable for every Indian household.

At Solar Green Technology, we have helped hundreds of families across Rajasthan install rooftop solar systems under this scheme, enabling them to cut down electricity bills by up to 90% while contributing to a cleaner environment.

☀️ What is PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?

The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is a flagship rooftop solar subsidy scheme introduced by the Government of India in 2024. Its goal is simple: to promote the use of renewable energy and make every home energy self-sufficient.

Under this scheme, homeowners can install rooftop solar panels and receive government subsidies to cover a major part of the installation cost. The generated electricity can be used for personal consumption, and the surplus power can be sent back to the grid through net metering, earning you credits on your bill.

⚡ Key Features of the Scheme

💰 Subsidy Details

The government provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) for residential solar installations under this scheme. The subsidy depends on the capacity (kW) of the solar system installed.

So, if a homeowner installs a 3kW rooftop system, which typically costs around ₹1.8 to ₹2 lakh, the government pays ₹78,000 as a subsidy.
👉 That means the homeowner pays only about ₹1.2 lakh, which can be recovered in 2.5 to 3 years through savings on electricity bills.

🔧 Eligibility Criteria

To apply under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, you must meet the following requirements:

1. You must be an Indian resident homeowner.

2. The system must be installed on a residential property (not commercial).

3. The solar vendor must be registered on the official MNRE portal.

4. The house should have an active electricity connection.

5. You must own a suitable rooftop area with good sunlight exposure.

At Solar Green Technology, we take care of the entire documentation and approval process so that you can get your system approved quickly and claim your subsidy without hassle.

⚙️ How Does Solar Power Help You Save Money?

Let’s understand how the savings actually happen.

Example:

Suppose your average monthly electricity bill is ₹4,000 (₹48,000 annually).

You install a 3kW rooftop solar system:

• System cost: ₹1,80,000

• Subsidy: ₹78,000

• Final cost: ₹1,02,000

Average savings: ₹48,000 per year

✅ Payback period: 2.1 years
✅ System life: 25 years

So, for the next 22+ years, you’ll enjoy almost free electricity — saving over ₹10 lakh in total!

🌍 Environmental Benefits

Solar power isn’t just good for your pocket — it’s great for the planet too.

Each 1kW solar system can:

• Reduce CO₂ emissions by 1.2 tons per year

• Save 1,500 units of electricity annually

• Offset the carbon footprint equal to planting 45 trees every year

By switching to solar, you contribute directly to India’s Net Zero goal and help fight climate change.
