Get answers to common questions about PM Surya Ghar Yojana
What is the maximum capacity I can install under this scheme?
You can install up to 3 kW solar capacity for households with electricity load up to 2 kW, and up to 10 kW for higher load connections. The capacity depends on your rooftop space and electricity consumption.
How much subsidy will I get?
Subsidy ranges from ₹30,000 per kW for systems up to 2 kW, and ₹18,000 per kW for additional capacity up to 3 kW. Additional state subsidies may also be available. Total subsidy can cover 40-60% of the installation cost.
What about maintenance of the solar system?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance - just periodic cleaning and basic checks. The scheme includes 5-year comprehensive maintenance warranty. Solar panels typically last 25+ years with proper care.
How long does the installation process take?
The complete process from application to installation typically takes 30-60 days. Technical survey happens within 7-10 days, approval within 15-20 days, and installation within 15-30 days after approval.
Can I sell excess electricity back to the grid?
Yes! Under net metering policy, you can sell excess electricity back to the grid and earn money. The electricity board will pay you for the surplus power at predetermined rates, creating an additional income source.
What happens during monsoon or cloudy days?
Solar panels work even in cloudy weather, though at reduced efficiency. Your system remains connected to the grid, so you'll continue receiving electricity. The net metering system balances your monthly consumption and generation.
