To save resources for future generations, the Indian government has started an electricity-saving project called Solar Rooftop Power Plant. We all know everyone is not adopting solar energy it in the residential/commercial sector and its obvious reason is expensive. Therefore, the Center government understood this problem and launched the MNRE solar subsidy scheme of 40 % up to 3 KW Plus 20% for Remaining above 3 KW up to 10 kW for the Domestic sector for General
Category States. Besides, Spacial subsidies in the North Eastern States including Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, UTs of Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Lakshadweep, and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
Who can get the subsidy on solar?
| Type of sector | Solar Subsidy |
| Residential sector ( up to 3 kW Capacity) | Rs. 18000/- per kW |
| Residential sector (above 3 kW capacity and up to 10 kW capacity) |
Rs. 18000/- per kW for the first 3 kW and thereafter Rs. 9000/- per kW (subsidy limited to 10 kW capacity) |
| Group Housing Societies/Residential Welfare Associations (GHS/RWA) etc. for common facilities up to 500 kW (@ 10 kWp per house) |
Rs. 9000/- per kW For common facilities up to 500 kWp @ 10 kWp per house, with the upper limit being inclusive of individual rooftop plants already installed by individual residents in that GHS/RWA at the time of installation of RTS |
The average cost of installation of a rooftop PV system without subsidy is around Rs 40000 - 50000 per kW. After leveraging the subsidy, people just have to pay Rs 30000 - 40000 per kW for installing a rooftop PV system. The objective of this solar scheme is to promote alternate green which is cost-effective almost 90% off over normal electricity served by the Electricity Department.
